I was thinking more like a 1969 Datsun 2000.

I sat in the S2000 at the dealer, and while it might be a hoot to
drive on the open road, the idea of driving it in traffic seems almost
bizarre. When I see one on the freeway beside me, I always look
carefully to see what kind of a goofball is driving. It's the
automotive equivalent of a speedo, I'm not sure it's what looks good
on old farts like me, too.

I believe that's called an Italian tuneup. Had to rev my old Alfa to
the redline just to get to 60mph in ten seconds. Ah, those were the
days!

Care to explain why? If I gave you a list of the last ten cars I've
owned, you'd see that I DO only buy cars from N. America, with the
possible exception of a piece of crap Starion, where I have no idea
where it was hatched...

Do you want polite or do you want sincere?

My mind was lost at birth in the early 50's, which puts me in the same
place as then, so to speak. "Automotive equivalent of a speedo", Hey, you
should be a paid writer! That is right up there with "Horse head in the bed"
as far as imagery goes. If I get an S2000 I will not drive it without
wearing very dark sunglasses and sucking my gut in at stop signs.
Thanks J

I have an 06. In 04 they torqued up and regeared I find it civilized enough
for everyday use, and fast, responsive and a little nuts if you keep it
above 6500 rpm (second cam zone) Had a couple Preludes, nice rides, but
dont miss the torque steer
