k swapped elise 🤷🏽‍♂️

Owning highly upgraded versions of both I can say they are visceral, soulful machines that are two of the greatest drivers' experiences in road cars at any price. Part of their thrill is that they are uncompromising cars that demand skill and smoothness to drive quickly and will punish lack of judgement. The Honda's powertrain is so gratifying to rev and each shift of the legendary manual rewards you with a new run to redline.. The balance and double wishbones deliver tenacious front end grip.. The Exige has the aero, the looks, unparalleled steering feel, instantaneous direction changes, and the racecar like seating view. Exige requires trail braking to generate front grip.. The Honda will run for hundreds of thousands of miles even when driven hard. The Lotus reliability is more an issue particularly if you're running lots of mods but without them I think the platform is just fine. I really have a hard time choosing one.

Lotus Elise all the way.

changed gears way too early on the S2000 ;)

Great job! For next driving videos, it could be possible to fix a camera on the pedalbox to film your footwork please? :)

S2000, hands down

We're calling it the S2K now?

I have the S2K because all my friends Elises leaked amongst other difficult reliability and quality issues. It's more special than the Honda, but I don't regret choosing the more versatile yet still plenty visceral car. The Elises were 2-3 year ownerships, I've had my AP2 for a decade.

I generally prefer Japanese cars… but here i have to go for the Lotus

Eh. AP2.. whatever

S2000 for me

I love an S2K, but an Elise is unbeatable

s2k all the way

Old man is definitely not a good driver. The car deserves a better driver.

Lotus, all day long!

nice roads!!

cool cars, thanks! .. not shy to drive on the other side of the road lol

SOS

You need rolling shots and fly by shots at full acceleration. Idle sound is just one small parameter of exhaust sound. You also need interior shot going at city speeds (50km/h) in 3rd or 4th to see if there's any unwanted low frequency resonance ("boomy" sound). FWIW the RFY sounds more refined and I think at full acceleration (up to 8K+ redline) it will sound divine, also because he's got the RFY headers too. Stock NA1 headers are a joke, honestly, they were done that way in order to limit the power to 270hp. Side note: which RFY exhaust is it ? They have a lot of different models.

New subscriber here! Goodluck with the channel and looking forward with future videos.

I love my abarth 595...

Ah man. So good. The new cars are so numbing to drive. I love my mania Honda. Meat and potatoes.

Beautiful roads! Where is it?

Abarth all the way.

Love the idea of this video guys, but ya really missed the mark lol. Call this ver 1.0? Can we get cold and warm start in the open aswell as a parking garage and more importantly some drive by towards and away from the camera with a mix of some deceleration? You have a unique opportunity to film two nsx 😮. I have a jdm 1990 na1 nsx with a full texas pride v2 exhuast, headers, test pipes and muffler. The sound was so rowdy i had to install high flow cats to cut down the rasp, it now sounds freaking amazing. Much love from new Zealand

Super nice video, super nice car, super nice sound ! Great Thanks !

Sounds great! Good video! Just put Tanabe Revel Medallion Touring catback on my 2023 WRX and love it.

La première est tellement meilleure 👌🥰

A very clean NSX. Is that the LMAs ticking noise or just the cold start?

If your "best sounding NSX exhaust" video doesn't include the Taitec GT009, that converts your headers into an equal-length 6-2-1 (high-frequency V12 sound), then you're missing out. See BAUXITER1 old videos for examples with several header combos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hICtiatmesyLh6M

nice car man

Congratulations she will be a keeper forsure!

I thought the AP2 redlined at 8,000 rpm? 🤔. This sounds really great👌🏻

Both please! Honestly, the NSX would be hard to pass up with the right funds. I havent driven an S2000, but Ive heard they can be a handful (although so can an early NSX). I have driven a '98 NSX and was really surprised by its useable torque.....it was so easy to drive at slow speeds.

Not to mention the best gearbox out of any production care we made.

those shifter bushings are beat on the s2k. also dont cross your hands when driving!

Why not sound sample under load?

Both cars fatally flawed by Electronic Power Steering(or complete lack of in early NSX). Don't over hype these cars. Shame on Honda for this engineering fail. Both engines are also inadequate.

The S2000 is the perfect litmus test for car enthusiasts. Those who say "its too slow" don't understand what actually makes driving fun outside of sheer speed. I've had plenty of faster cars, and compared to my motorcycles, my s2000 is an absolute snail, but the s2000 is the only one i havent, and will never sell.

I miss my 05 s2000

Enjoy and drive your S2000

When I get my S2000, this is definitely the exhaust system I will go for. I love that it is loud at the higher RPMs

great video. you deserve more subscribers

What a beauty 😮

I think the Honda S2000 ROCKS!

You can hear when the NSX really digs in, but never seems very plussed creating a gap. While the S2k, you seem to be wringing it out a bit more. I passed on some NSX's and Skylines and opted for a Porsche instead. Very happy with mine as a daily driver but an NSX is an incredible machine. Still kinda want a Skyline but know they are murder for parts! 😂

Why is no one staying in the lines? or drive them like they were built to perform.

My buddy does this in his nc miata all the time

Amazing NSX 😍

Greetings from Austria, my NA1 is also from France 😊
