I completed my 10 hour detail of my newly purchased S2K a little while ago but finally got around to take a couple of pics of it. My apologies in advance that I don't have any before pictures, my battery in my camera was dead at the time.

There was moderate micro marring but nothing too severe. I used my Flex 3401 for the job. My claybar of choice is ClayMagic's fine grade. Polishes used were Menzerna IP with orange pad and Menzerna 0106FF with a white pad. LSP's used were Menzerna FMJ and Migliore's Original Blend Carnuba. This colour red definitely has more "pop" to it than my G35.

 

Very nice!!! Do you have any plans for her as far as mods go?

 

I recently installed the OEM trunk lid spoiler and have an OEM front lip on the way. Other than that, maybe just a CAI for this year. We'll see though.

 

Absolutely gorgeous and I love the S2000. I drove a friends, but have fitment issues with my 6'-3" frame and long legs, otherwise this would be one car that I want to own. Have a blast with that beaut, GC!!!

 

I should of hit you up a couple of weeks ago now that I think about it. I purchased this from Chicago and spent a few days there sightseeing before I drove it 1500 miles back home. Damn, I never even thought about shooting you a PM!!

 

^ya dork
Thanks for spending your dough here though, we need as much as we can get!

 

Looks great GC! Love the S2K's

 

Looks sharp Shane, enjoy the new toy!!!

That red looks very deep and wet, congrats!

Nice, how does it compare to the G in terms of acceleration and overall sporty feel?

This would be a great weekend/summer car for me.

 

In terms of acceleration versus the G, the G wins hands down. The S2K doesn't a whole lot of power down low, whereas the G has over 100 ft lbs of torque more than the S2K. Where the S2K shines is above 6k and is a real screamer in the higher RPMs. It also handles like a go cart and has the best gearbox I've driven. Overall, both the G and the S2K are fun cars to drive.....just in very different ways. The S2K is certainly a fun summer car.

 

How's this one:

The VQ creates more torque at idle, than any NA S2000 will ever make at peak, no matter how extreme the NA mod (short of an engine swap).

From a dig, the s2k has no chance short of a full on launch. From a roll between 30 and 100, acceleration is roughly on par with a 07-08 5AT sedan, depending on how badly the s2k driver is willing to abuse the tranny. Once over 100, the G will crawl away until the G hits its governor; s2k's are not governed and will pull all the way to redline in 6th.

 

Glad you enjoyed the Migliore Shane! The car looks great, nice toy.

 

congrats on the new s2k.

 

Very Nice, Shane! I assume you still have your G Sedan?

 

Very nice Shane, congrats on the new car!!!!
