So my buddy shows up with his new S2000 and tosses me the keys. Havaing a bad feeling that this could be an expensive test drive on the Mulholland loop. But I'm back. Compared to my 2.0:
Honda wins: Quieter, smoother ride, AC, power steering, killer stereo, gearbox and brakes. Engine really comes to life around 5k. 914 wins: Roomier cockpit, low end torque, readable non digital instruments (round tach and speedo), visibility, interior acoustics and wind turbulence. Engine/gearbox comparo. Honda has about the best 'snick' shifter I've ever felt, but it needs it with the engine's peakiness. Always shifting. 914 has one of the worst tranny's but wide powerband means you don't shift alot. In fairness, my car has all the right suspension components and race tires, but The Mulholland winner is: 914. It sounds better, weighs less and is more fun to drive in the twisties. |

I got stuck in an S2000 at the international auto show in anaheim a few years ago. No joke (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)
