I dont think the world needs another mitsubishi or nissan type manufacturer, honda was always playing it safe after the s2000, so we might get something good and old school like the gr86, gr yaris and similar models after the new nsx which was ahead of it time, it wouldnt be out of proportions with todays forced electrification and shit

@@cheezeball2517 S2000 was more premium than the Miata. It was mainly competing with the Z3/Z4, Boxster, and SLK for the most part which were monumentally more expensive. Late in the 2000s, there was the Chrysler Crossfire base model which cost the same as the S2000 and there was the Solstice/Sky Turbos which cost around $7500 less. So really only 1 real car in it's class could undercut it.

13:10 There IS a service position for the hood rod, it comes out if you wiggle it and there is a secondary hole it goes into right above the fuse box in front of the battery. There is a small anchor right behind the passenger side front wheel shock tower. It pushes the hood almost straight up when servicing the engine. 👍 17:05 That trunk "divet" supposed to have a flat tool tray to install the spare tire. Once you've installed the space saver, you're supposed to remove the tool tray and the round bottomed divet is shapped perfectly so you can bring your full size wheel and flat tire back inside of closed trunk

The reason the start button is separate from the key is for safety purposes when racing. In the event you stall the car in an accident people tend to panic and misuse the key. It's a gimmick based on a real purpose. I imagine the reason it's on the left is to keep it from the passenger since you can damage the starter if you attempt to use it as a engine off button

The s200 actually does have a hood service position. You have to take the hood stay out of the rubber mount and take it about half way up the left side of the engine bay. There is a spot near the front passenger tire that’s it meant to hold the bottom of the hood stay. The hood also has a mounting spot for the service position.

The S2000 was my dream car since I played Gran Turismo 3 at 12 years old. I finally acquired a 2003 AP1 in 2017, before they blew up in price. Now my insurance is way more, and the car is holding up decently well, but ya repairs are not the most fun thing ever. But damn I've never driven a car that can deliver the experience of the S2000. No matter what I test drive, nothing compares the street legal race car feel of the S2000. It's also grown in legendary status since I owned it. When I first got it in 2017, sure people would stare because it's a beautiful convertible. But now the fan boys KNOW WHAT THIS IS... "OMG AN S2000!!!11 FUCKIN NICE!" When someone knows what my car is it completely changes their day. And god forbid, you meet a fellow S2000 owner, you might talk to them for 3 hours. I love this car. It might be expensive to keep on the streets, but I've daily driven mine for 7 years and it has enhanced my life greatly as a result.

The “divot” in the trunk is to fit a full size OEM wheel and tire if you get a flat, it fits perfectly. The theory behind the button on the left is if you spin on track and stall, you can shift to first with your right and start with your left. The top safety is not tied to the clutch or gear, it is tied to the speedometer, over a certain (very slow) speed it won’t let it go up or down.

IIRC, the divot in the trunk is so if you have a flat on the road, you can put the damaged (OEM) wheel and tire into the trunk by removing the tools/scissorjack from that divot.

My theory in regards to the push start being on the left side; you will save a couple of seconds starting the car by using your left hand to push the button, while having the right hand on the shifter ready.

The reason the push button start is a thing is because of racetrack use. If you spin out or stall out on a racetrack where you need to get up and going really quickly, it's a lot faster to push a button

Front engine, fitted in the correct, longitudinal orientation, driving the correct wheels, i.e. the rear wheels, stick a manual in-between, how hard can it be to do that? If you're building a sports car, that is the correct way to start. Everything else is a fudge.

The extra divot in the trunk is enough room to fit a full size wheel in when your spare tire is installed. Normally there is a trunk toolkit that fills the bottom of the divot, leaving enough room with a flat floor for a carry-on luggage

LeMans start key positioning is also to free up your right hand to be able to put the vehicle in to gear immediately after or while starting the engine.

its easy why the start button is on the left side! Cause normaly your ignition key is in your right hand! So you put your key into the whole with the right hand and your left hand wich is free pushes the button.

Pro-tip, there's a spot on the left for the hood prop to stand the hood straight up. You've gotta pull it out completely and move it.

FYI you need to pull out the hood prop and reposition it to hold it service position, and the divot in the trunk is designed to hold the wheel with the flat tire

I owned a brand new 2004 metallic blue for a whole week, but a bad back and long legs drove my back insane. Luckily the dealer had not filed the paperwork and had a buyer for it (paid about 32K at the time?) so i put 80 miles on it and spent more time on my back than in the car but its still a classic......

I love the S2000, but I understand why it wasn’t continued, the front engine rear drive transmission wasn’t used on anything else in their lineup. However it’s comparably much easier to take a front engine fwd drivetrain and place it in the back. They could have used parts from the Accord parts bin and built a half price Boxster competitor.
