Vehicle Description
Honda has made its name with small, high performance sports cars.
There second car to enter production was the S500 that built off of
Honda's motorcycle expertise and featured a 531cc inline 4-cylinder
with a 9,500rpm readline. The S500, S600 and later S800 helped
cement Honda as a manufacture of small affordable sports cars. The
S2000 entered production in 1999 and was a front engine, rear wheel
drive roadster with a 2.0L DOHC-VTEC engine that produced around
245hp. The readline is an astronomical 9,000 and it is mated to a
short throw 6-speed manual. With 50:50 weight distribution, a
Torsen limited slip differential, and the highest specific output
of any car with 125hp per liter.
This 2001 New Formula Red Honda S2000 is a beautifully driving car.
Honda is known for their excellent shifters and this is probably
one of the best ever made. The engine starts immediately and is
eager to rev. The clutch has great bite and it shifts well and
pulls strong all the way to its crazy high readline. A two owner
car out of Ann Arbour, it has done just 41k miles and has been well
taken care of. The exterior paint shows well but has a few small
paint chips on the front bumper and the rear bumper has a few small
marks and is a bit out of alignment. You'd be hard pressed to know
from 15 feet away. The interior on the other hand is spotless. The
seats and leather trim look excellent and there are no soft spots
or marks in the thick bolsters. All the equipment works as it
should. Power windows, power top, power locks, cruise control,
stereo and strong air-conditioning are all standard features as is
a digital clock and instruments and a wind blocker.
This small sports car is just the ticket to make your Miata driving
neighbor envious. With more power, just as good handling, and less
goofy looks, it's the Miatas cooler cousin. This car has both the
keys as well as the owner's manual and original window sticker.
Clean and unabused S2000s are becoming harder to find and his car
is in great shape and is one of the most fun to drive cars we have
driven. You really need to experience it, you become one with the
car.
