As John Mendel Executive VP of American Honda Motor Co. put it "The Honda S2000 is a true performance vehicle that provides customers with an exciting experience behind the wheel... Because the S2000 is a car designed by enthusiasts for enthusiasts, it can easily satisfy daily driving needs without sacrificing track-worthy performance." I must admit I can attest to this, while driving the stock vehicle you immediately feel the culmination of racing experience and technology beautifully fused together. While we're sure Honda is sad to see the S2000 go, there are prime examples like John's vehicle, that shine a light to carry on the roadster legacy for years to come. We think Honda would proud of the vehicle John has assembled, modified in all the right places to ensure added performance with little or no drawback. So until Honda releases the S3000, we bid the S roadster adieu. For more pics, checkout superstreetonline.com
