Anybody had the pleasure of driving one? Had a go of one today and holy fuck what a car! Put your foot down the smallest bit and the rear wheels light up! And the interior is awesome, sit so low and its comfy as heaven! Just getting outs a problem, and im only 5 foot 8

This is on my future list of cars.

I was thinking about getting one as a replacment for my RB5 but im not sure about the lack of low down torque and having to rev it to 9000rpm to get peak power! They got 3rd place in the 2006 car of the year poll so got to be decent.

This is what I'm talking about - Spoon Sports Honda S2000

Been for sale for a couple of months now, but would be a fair bit of fun I'd imagine
