S2000 Diary 05/10/2010 Just getting familiar
After getting the S2000 yesterday Ive been waiting to have a nice full day with it to get myself familiar, unfortunately today I ended up helping two family members with some things and as a result only got limited time with the S2000. At about 10am I headed up to Buckstone pass, I wanted to visited the MR2′s death spot, and visited my favourite roads I’ve been unable to drive along for over 8 months. My short time with the S2000 has already made me feel back at home. On the road in fast car is where I feel I should be, and finally I’ve returned faster and stronger than ever! At least that’s how dramatic it feels to me.
So first impressions of the S2000. Fast, Raw, Aggressive are a few adjective that first come to mind. Its the perfect tool for someone who enjoys driving. Wonderfully direct and responsive, agile yet stable although when the roads got greasy up on the hills, this time I made sure to respect what I was doing and I think this definitely slowed down my pace compared to what I was capable of. I do think that with more time I get with the S2000 the easier it will get for the pace to pick up. At the momment I think I’m faster In the Civic Type-R.
So lets compare it to the Type-R, what is similar and what is diffrent. The best way I can describe my feelings between the two cars is this. Take the Civic and then amplify everything! The sound, the power, the way it makes you feel, the performance at your disposal. Vtec impressed me with the Civic, but the S2000 takes it up to 9000RPM and goes so beserk that I chicken out if the road is less than straight and flat. The cockpit style layout and long bonnet infront of you makes you just want to drive as if your a pilot. The other great thing to point out is with this S2000 been the GT model, the Seats the most bestest seats ever… in the whole wide world. Comfy and supportive, and visual please the eye.
Ive not had much time but did end up on the motorway with the roof down at night, this is always fun and strangly warm, abit of this and I just needed sleep due to the long day I had so drove home and here I am. I have a short vid, its short because I cant be bothered with too much editing and so on. I will go more in depth on later posts, and again its just good to be back on the road doing what I do best.
