- HONDA vs HONDA: S2000 and NSX are both amazing cars. The S2000 is a more affordable pistol of a car, whereas NSX is a more expensive and more advanced. But which one is better in a curvy road rally, and NOT on a high-speed racetrack? Watch the video to find out how S2000 performs in a rally setting where it competes against the likes of the Honda NSX, and to learn some key performance and driving experience facts that highlight why the Honda S2000 is so special.

Original release 2000 AP1 owner here and I absolutely love it! The S2000 is the greatest roadster/convertible and one of the greatest cars/sports cars of all time. Period.
Couldn't agree more!
I own both a 2000 Targa NSX and a 2006 AP2 S2000... Love them BOTH !!!!!!!! In fact... You need both... different cars... different fun... But both perfect toys !!!!
I own a 2001 S2000 I’m thinking of getting an NSX or a McLaren. The NSX is priced at approximately 80k or more, but for a budget of 120k, I can afford a McLaren from the 2016-2018 range. However, because I really enjoy the driving experience of the S2000, I am inclined towards choosing the NSX.
Agreed! The NSX is a refined GT car while the S2K is more raw.
Totally agree!
@@edgarpanduro2048 my advice... and for a better experience... don't buy a 91-99 NSX... Buy a 2000+ NA2... They have all technical upgrades ( brakes, ALB, gearboox... ). With older versions, you'll get the crappy old ALB system... which will seize sooner or later... Buying a 2000+ will match the year of your S2000... ( 2000-2001 still have pop-up's headlights for old school guy like me... and 2002-2005 have the new fixed headlights for the kids... 🙂
@@CRXMAN00 Great comment! For me an original NSX has to have the pop up headlights. The fixed headlights lose a lot of the original old school flavor of the car and don't look near as cool. I'd take a 2000-2001 for sure! 😎🔥
I feel so lucky to own an AP1 at 24yo. Bought it half a year ago
my dad had the 93-94 NSX, 97-98 Acura integra type R. I have the 05 s2000, and 19 FK8 TYPE R. They are all good in their own respect. The point is, Honda is the only company that excel at having out of the box motorsport vehicle. The are great balance of chassis, suspension, engine, gearing, feel. Toyota can't do it without heavy aftermarket, Nissan just blows air in everything (the American way). The only one to come close would probably be Mazda...but their shortfall of rotaries hinder them.
So well said! Have nothing to add. Enjoy and be safe. And if you would be interested in sharing your driving videos on the channel - please send along! Greetings from Belgium
I an s2000 owner since 2007... still with me!
Never let go off of it! Thank you for watching and please share the video with your car friends!
First video and is great !!! Good job mr 🤘
Glad you liked it!
I would clearly drive the Nsx. I drove my S2000 so many times but never the Nsx
Hi there. Thanks for the comment. Yeah - it is a different driving experience altogether. I would too! ;) However, there are certain charms of S2000 that are impossible to replace with a larger, stronger engine. If you pressed me to commit to 5 cars that I could not live without: 1) Abarth Competizzione 2) Honda S2000 3) NSX 4) Lotus Elise or Evora 5) Audio AllRoad 6. It's like living different life each time your swap them. Greetings and thank you for watching!
Great video. On days that suit the top down, I’d drive the S2000, on all others, the NSX. I have a nice ap1 S2000, and it is the perfect top down sports car. Wind noise is low compared to other convertibles and t-top sports cars I’ve driven, and the climate control really is great even with the top down. And the top goes up or down easily and quickly in only six seconds!
Great handling, great engine, and easy to work on.
Thanks 👍
Who knew: another regional anesthesiologist with a love for Honda S2000s. I am retired now but love to work on my S2000.
Hell yeah! What do you love the most about your S2000? Me? Everything, as long as the top is down! ;)
The sound
The S2000 is the perfect litmus test for car enthusiasts. Those who say "its too slow" don't understand what actually makes driving fun outside of sheer speed.
I've had plenty of faster cars, and compared to my motorcycles, my s2000 is an absolute snail, but the s2000 is the only one i havent, and will never sell.
Yes. 100% agree with you!
Nice video!
Love my AP2! 🇯🇵🏁
The best! Thank you for watching and please share the video with your car friends!
I think the Honda S2000 ROCKS!
Totally. My #1 favorite of all times.
Great if you paid a right price, in Spain are asking for 25000€ and 35000 if hace low millage.
And 18000 from the UK with rhd
Mine was in top condition. 2006. All original (I changed the exhaust - which made a HUGE difference). In fact, without the Tanabe exhuast - it woudl not have the same thrill of driving! Thank you for watching and please share the video with your car friends!
You didn't stop at the STOP sign @2:38 😢
Driven 1992 nsx no power steering, and multiple s2ks.
S2k is more fun
100%
The s2000 gears are shorter so more shifts/fun. The NSX has longer gears. 2nd gear on the nsx can reach 80mph.
Wacht…. België???? Waar wonen jullie ik kom af met mijne s2000 😂
I did hear that the Honda S2000 always spins and loses traction. Is that true?
2000-2001 model because of the stiffer rear suspension, but that's the way the Honda racecar testers wanted. 2004+ has updated suspension to dial down the loose rear.
@@michaelnguyen2975Thank you so much for your knowledge!!
A1 model perhaps is less stable - but this is only if you drive it to the edge, in which case, the drivers who know how to get the most out of S2k also know how to use that "disadvantage" to their advantage. I have the facelift model - and do drive it reasonable aggressively as it should be driven - have never noticed any instability. Rock solid. Change the exhaust to slighly more sporty and have fun!
It is a snappy car but you can have a road setup on it and that resolves the spinning issues. The choice in road setups is track, fast road and safe. If you have it safe it will have to be driven extremely hard to spin.
The above is from my experience
The NSX is clearly the superior car. However, the S2000 has a much lower barrier to entry ($$$). I hope to own both one day.
Have you driven both?
Yes here. They are different thing. If I were to keep one TODAY - it would be S2000.
