Some of you may remember this:

you're right the interior is a strong point. Very solid, very well laid out, lots of leather - really feels snug.

very nice S2000, fancy one of those myself, but tempted to go back to an Elise. just be careful in this weather with using your right foot. Obviously you have to treat it with respect. Very jealous.

Proby.

Hey ADP,

Try this in your S2000, come into a wet corner reasonably quick and then lift off or change down. Let us know what happens.

BTW, where is that buliding you shot your Scoob in front of?

Cheers,
Mark

Er yeh guess what it might unsettle the car somewhat, but its nice to be driving something that takes a bit more skill than just flat out everywhere.........I dont get why people seem to want to have a pop at me / the car? I had an Impreza for nearly 2 years - have posted over 3000 threads and attended many many meets, track days etc etc.........yet as soon as I leave camp people with a single figure post tally have a dig? Are you all that brand loyal that you think youll never ever be in another car? hmm I think not. This is only the minority I may add, I made lots of friends and met some great people through scoobynet and on meets etc And no, I wont be in a Honda for life, and may even come back to an Impreza in a few years, variety as they say is the spice of life.

Its been a while since I had the Integra.......the S2000 is a bit noisier and obviously pulls a little harder. Obviously the S2000 requires a more gracefull approach in the wet compared to the Integra which was damn nearly as quick in the wet as the scoob even though FWD only. I really couldnt fault the Integra, I d tell anyone to buy one any day.

What it is ADP is that you just said bye to te scooby and try to make it sound that the new car is better...he he which is bound to get you some sh** m8 :-)

Having both a honda(2.4 vtec) and an RA..there is absolutly not comparisons...Scooby scares the living Shi* out of me all the time then get back into my honda and can drive slow then...LOL

Bows to the Scooby beasts around the globe...Long live the fear of the flat 4...

Ps. Did i say i love a pedigree scooby?
