but the s2000 was one of the best sportscars period, not the fastest but one of the most balanced and many ways. and definitely for the price not may could compete on a track or the fun to drive factor.
Honda canceled their entire RWD program. The NSX, S2000 replacement, and RWD Acura all got the axe. Really sucks tbh and now I'm probably looking at not being a Honda fanboi anymore.

The S2000 was actually canceled due to it's declining sales. 240HP was/is more than enough for the car since it was not meant to be driven in a straight line, but to carve up corners like no other. A buddy of mine said something a while back that I think will end up being true. The S2000 will end up being like the Supra years down the road. It'll become a highly sought after collector's item. At least I hope it does.
