385 WHP Supercharged Honda S2000 Track Car - One Take

[@ojtyler9626]

He sold his project car to start a buissness that's one of the smartest things ive heard someone do with there car on the channel props to him

[@kevinnieves5113]

When Matt shakes your hand twice before leaving, thats when you know you've done well.

[@dragospahontu]

Exactly

[@c.b.4916]

Lmao my god such drooling fat matt fanboys. The fuck

[@LimeTimeHD]

The color, the hardtop, the supercharger, the seats, the wheels, the color combination, the exhaust. Absolutely love this car. I'm always happy to see a well done Honda.

[@rasimcamo]

Just wondering mate, you know the specific colour of the car?

[@LimeTimeHD]

It might be a custom paint on this specific car, but the similar oem paint is called Suzuka Blue Metallic.

[@mdcohen]

Suzuka blue would have added 20 hp. big mistake with the Ferrari color.

[@rasimcamo]

LimeTimeHD Thanks mate.

[@123PSPs]

Rasim Camo he said it in the video , it's a Ferrari azure something lol

[@GNXperimental]

If Matt would have drove it off the cliff it would have safely glided down.

[@anthonygaleanosanabria3680]

Martin Quin tf lol

[@FamousYasserX]

comment of the year

[@mdcohen]

Martin Quin haha. Yeah huge wing but all the S2000s that race have them. Wonderful car that doesn't have great aero either drag or downforce.

[@blankspace5614]

he could've glided home to Venice lol

[@sharpemang]

Martin Quin Glided down? The wind would probably take it away and these to guys would end up in Timbuktu

[@tylerbetthauser7647]

This is the only automotive channel that I can watch a video all the way through.

[@Xxtheneckxx]

wow first time you really showed excitement about a tuned car and actually praised it ,wow must be really good

[@PANTYEATR1]

Jonny Tran would be proud and he didn't have to Narc on nobody...

[@VirusTornado]

Just so you can appreciate this car's speed: A 997 GT3RS goes around Big Willow in 1:33. This car did it in 1:32. So it's quicker than an RS.

[@Karim2clean]

After 30k dollars in mods lol. You can't compare stock to modified.

[@VirusTornado]

Yes you can in this case. Did you even watch the video? His baseline was the regular 911 GT3. So this is to give you perspective that he beat his goal.

[@iDrive4fun93]

Karim nassef that's true if it was a stock s2k vs this. But it's still cheaper to buy and build this than buy a GT3 RS straight up. So you can actually compare them, especially because the GT3, although stock, is built with parts far superior compared to the parts found in a normal 911. It already has forged internals and aggressive tuning. What he did with this is basically what Porsche did to the 911 to make the GT3.

[@VirusTornado]

Yup. S2000 GT3. Love it.

[@christopherdaniel6142]

actually you can when your car rings the neck of a super car for half the price .

[@Revitalyzed]

The fly-by at 4:20.. nuts. Just the echoing backfire and the sound of the supercharger sounds absolutely sexual.

[@brianlee6515]

Normally Matt gives good feedback to whatever car he is driving, but you can tell this S2k is seriously making him happy, maybe even a little nervous.

[@andrewmarasek620]

this is hands down one of the best sounding cars I've ever heard.

[@Jez3134]

When Honda designed the s2000 they really got it right. I'm not really into Hondas but this thing is amazingly well sorted. They way it handles corners and puts power down with ease.

[@westsenkovec]

I bet you he's got over 100 grand underneath the hood of that car

[@MrBenstero]

he said 30k total for upgrades

[@mattfero5271]

fast and furious jokes are lost on you

[@MyVidChannel]

Woosh!

[@ashishpatel350]

West Senkovec it doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning is winning. Lol

[@gaberon1]

Too soon jr

[@French20cent]

"I saved a bit of cash to put into my car" In Europe, it translates into : "I saved $2000, so I bought a full exhaust and a bigger intercooler for my Megane RS" In the US, it's more like : "I saved around a hundred grand, so I turned my flee into a Porsche GT3 RS muncher"

[@knucklessg1]

He did say he sold his other one to create a company. He might be making some good money right about now.

[@lonewolf3564]

his supercharger costs around $4-5k new, so not a hundred grand. why is it that people who don't know how to wrench on cars and who know nothing about modding/racing always have the most to say. I've got a 2006 S2000 with 40k miles, bought it for $14.5K, built the whole motor myself and threw on FI and it's around 500 hp and a daily driver that swallows Porche's, Vette's, M3's, etc. and it cost me roughly $5-6K in mods. Hundred grand my ass.

[@French20cent]

I suggest you to make a Google search : "Hyperbole", "Humour", and related words. And before I got a parking space, I used to wrench my 525i directly on the pavement...

[@French20cent]

@singlecams : :-D You don't understand : Atul is a NASA Master mechanic, he honors us with his golden knowledge. Because the YT comment section is the place I go when I want to have serious advices from trusted mechanics.

[@JonP_4-31inf]

Atul Lall well 100k is a lot closer of a guess then your 5k you dumbass. He says right in the beginning after he bought the car he threw 30k at it right away.... that's 30k right away! plus 14.5k for the car as you said... then 6k for the paint job... 8k for wheels and tires... so 60k minimum and these are just facts. Now you can go back to bragging about how you change oil for a living and how the 99 Civic you did a tire rotation on and straightened it's chassis from hitting a curb is a race car.

[@mrmidnight32]

This is by far my favorite one take for every reason. Do this on track when he hits 550WHP!! This guy and his s2k was awesome!

[@dragospahontu]

Ikr

[@josephmarcogliese3105]

Thats the best sounding Honda I've ever seen

[@ryanvignogna4643]

I appreciate this car because it's done really well and I appreciate this guy for really understanding what he's built.

[@intracosm]

coolest car we've seen yet imo

[@pwally2714]

I've never heard Matt giggle so much. He's having so much fun. This makes me happy.

[@HEKTIC458]

This is the most excited i've seen Matt about a car in a while!

[@garlic_starlet]

Woah, what a special car. This is my favorite one since that supercharged lambo where you almost hit that truck pulling a log.

[@JasonMcMullen]

Matt: "It literally sounds like a Le Mans prototype car" It does sound great. Beautiful S2K

[@MangoKev]

Saw this s2k at the Chronicles Year 8 meet and it's a subtle but great build. Didn't realize it was supercharged until I heard it leave. Let me tell you, it sounds way better in person. Haha

[@raydm4015]

One of the best one takes yet!

[@colerodocker8894]

This car sounds amazing I love S2000s

[@TheJMedia]

This S2000 looks so nimble and quick around the corners!

[@bwomp969]

Am I the only one that wants Alex's glasses? They look so awesome

[@jeffpesos6554]

Im a simple man. I see s2000 I click like, favorited, then play video.

[@dragospahontu]

Damn

[@jamesoconnell5974]

Ya gotta love the s2k platform! This is a proper s2k track build!

[@SaimonZ69]

Math, we can never, ever, have enough s2000 in your channel. Who's next?

[@Indifference2000]

This may be one of the best s2k videos I've seen on KZbin . Makes me wanna pour money into my stock s2k and race it..... ughh.... maybe i need another s2k to mod it out and keep my current one stock. This is sick!

[@AaronHendu]

Here come the internet tuners to tell you how you should have done things and how all your mods are useless and they would have done it oh so much better and perfect. Nice car bud, ignore the haters, cause they are going to be on every one of these videos. I think the car looks absolutely great, personally!

[@alexisthemovie]

Thank you! Surprisingly the comments have been pretty nice thus far.

[@lounge2fly2]

Aaron Henderson totally agree man... fuck the trolls... bad ass build!

[@cardinal198]

@Alex Zhao hey just got 2 question for you. why didnt you go with EVS Tuning 70-SSP Exhaust ? and where did you get car tuned?

[@alexisthemovie]

I had it tuned at Church Automotive Testing. Evasive Motorsports helped with the suspension setup and did the alignments and corner balancing. I love the EVS 70-SSP, but prefer the looks and sound of the T1R dolphin tip.

[@tornut24]

Here comes the preemptive ignore the haters comment, despite the fact that the commenters actually seem to love this car, because Smoking Tire viewers are usually of the more mature end of the KZbin spectrum.

[@WelshyAutomotive]

WOW THATS A BEAUTIFUL S2000.

[@DrHistoryV]

Owner needs some rubber padding on hardtop contact points, had the same issue with my OEM hardtop, completely sovled it by wedging 2 small rubber pads at the mounting and contact points. A+ on car

[@deans4x4]

A little Shin-Etsu grease on the rubber seals will help as well.

[@crapdragoon]

That thing is creaky as fuck! Gotta be coming from the hard top I assume?

[@alexisthemovie]

Yep, from the hardtop.

[@hiphopaddict007]

crapdragoon Yeah, you wouldn't be able to hear anything for the video, but I'd leave the hardtop at home on a nice day like that.

[@Camhin1]

crapdragoon yeah he needs to rub some Vaseline in there.

[@shaft9000]

Shin-Etsu grease is your friend

[@Captaindan7141]

Look up how Speed Academy lubed theirs up, no noise at all. I assume you already know this though lol.

[@vopall]

Nice to see high usability in a sensitive setup. Great build, thanks!

[@ValenNitto]

That car sounds amazing.

[@yuerlin.]

love how much fun youve been having on this and the evo unlike many mondane reviews youve had lately man love the enthusiasim keep it up

[@garf117]

when i saw the thumbnail I thought "oh great, some stanced riced sk2.. nope, racecar"

[@TrichbeeT]

how you not see the helmet and the track? lol

[@elianmorales4855]

RiCeD punk ass

[@pwally2714]

I've never seen Matt giggle so much until you put him in a 20-year-old Honda. A true enthusiast. 🍻

[@roochiecooch]

The owner is mostly correct about the AP2 vs. AP1. Broader torque curve but lower redline, changed suspension geometry to be sharper and more controllable, and generally they are the engine that seems to smoke less in high mileage examples compared to the AP1's 2.0. Both are awesome cars but people seem to sometimes overlook the fact that there are changes from AP1 to AP2 aside from engines. Great Vid tho!

[@bergi85]

I wish I could see this on the track..... Super cool build!

[@ayowser01]

Finally Matt appreciates an S2000...once it has a bunch of hp 😏

[@BZA_]

these last few videos were of the chain

[@MattTheEnthusiast]

Great car, great conversation, and a great video.

[@twots22]

I love it. This is nice, listen to that S2K scream as they take off! 160 more hp in any S2K is bad freaking ass. You know all the V8 guys are wanted to pound on that whip. Instead of having too many cars, I should have built my S2K with a super charger. I am going to watch again. Time to go drive one of my whips. Thanks SMOKING TIRE for all your vids! keep em coming trying to watch more. Love wearing my shirt you sent me!

[@WillSatchwell]

Great video! One hell of a build! ... Looking forward to that crazy BMW Z4 spotted at the end of that video!!

[@bhcshifu]

That s2k souds so boss from the outside!

[@Ezero8]

I see a modified s2k, I click Like. Hoping to own one before I die.

[@audiwankenobi361]

Ezero8 ....you better act fast because your death is just around the next corner...BWHAHAHAHAHAAAAAaaaa!

[@audiwankenobi361]

Ezero8 ....you better act fast because your death is just around the next corner...BWHAHAHAHAHAAAAAaaaa!

[@19roadster99]

Supercharged S2000s sound fucking gnarly

[@czook812]

That seems like such a fun car.. lucky man

[@RESET1776]

Matt, 1st off I'm not picking on you here. But an Idea for you if your looking for something new for your channel. You can add a field to your reviews easy. Call it what you may, but I can always tell when your in a GREAT build from your reactions & I'd call it something like the giggle level. After all whenever your doing a review & you find one that's truly all there I've noticed you get this giddy schoolboy giggle along the drive. Honestly, it's how I know your truly impressed & having fun with it & that speaks volumes when you start having that kid in a candy store reaction behind the wheel. Like I started with, I'm FAR frm picking on you. After all its truly its no different then anything I'd do. But really telling as for when you've found something special!

[@dha588]

showing some love from NYC. love your s2k setup

[@GoodWillRacing]

If I hadn’t of purchased and fell in love with my CT9A, an S2000 would defined be the next choice in track toy fun. Great car!

[@fakealexstrong]

This thing just made me want a s2k 😻

[@Beezy_Builds]

owners face "yeah i know its good " 😂

[@427BDK]

Aye yo😂😂😂😂 I swear tho!

[@dragospahontu]

Lol

[@gorrilaunit99]

greatest sports car setup in the world only thing that might come close is an FD

[@peter4sonofaduckyo]

True, the 2 best cars to race downhill on the touge.

[@peter4sonofaduckyo]

Yeah me too, i own a FC and love it.

[@SPCSpriggs]

So you're telling me the FD MIGHT come close to a stook? I think it's more the other way around.Take it from a guy who has owned both and I kept the better of the two. Hint: I didn't keep the stook. Don't get me wrong though both are amazing cars.

[@gorrilaunit99]

Freak Nasty Sports car enthusiasts, not fanboys.

[@Shadowboost]

SPCSpriggs I'd rather have a HKS supercharged S2k over a FD every day of the week

[@DavidWilliams-nj5cn]

Small Honda with big power...... Love it.......

[@regicidalking3058]

I love how Matt has owned every car.

[@maxxjettfilms6322]

that car definitely needs to be on a track. twenty minutes of street driving and I would be done, and my car is a rough car to drive on the street.

[@alexisthemovie]

Trust me, I hate driving it on the street haha.

[@maxxjettfilms6322]

Alex Zhao when you said 18k spring rates and the way it bounced on the road, definitely a smooth track car, super cool though!

[@alexisthemovie]

To be fair, that road is super bumpy! I was expecting to shoot up Angeles Crest which is super smooth but it had rained the weekend prior and there was potential for snow at higher elevations.

[@maxxjettfilms6322]

Tyrone Ross you can see the car I drive on KZbin, not exactly a woman's car.

[@DJzSith]

Cool man, was not expecting that :)) Did you do the kartboy outrigger bushings?

[@dirkdiggler5647]

I think the SpeedAcademy guys had a mod they did to get rid of the creaking from the hardtop. It made a huge difference with their S2K

[@gettcouped]

it's guys like these that make you wish you can pick their brain and collect all that s2000 information. I'm not an s2000 guy but my goodness just knowing what he knows must be AWESOME!

[@alexisthemovie]

I'm here AMA :)

[@trinidadjamieson236]

This guys glasses are so dope.

[@imptuner]

Great car! With quality parts, couldn't stop admiring the GMT II, great timepiece as well.

[@dirtbike165]

That supercharger kit should have made him 400-420hp. It's the one I plan on getting and all said and done it's right around $8k for everything you need w/labor and tune. Wild S!

[@chanhuor]

Great car. One of the best car Honda created for sure.

[@nitrowizzard]

Thanks for the reply. Just thought that after driving a number of AP2's, you'd find it a little easier to notice a difference in the characteristics that each offers. Hopefully a worthy AP1 will come up at some point in the future.

[@android-ud2nf]

im working with a dealer right now over a 2003 s2k. what a coincidence this vid comes out.

[@TylerRaffle92]

Sounds glorious

[@josiahthibodeaux]

Whoa it looks like a mini Viper?

[@NoBrakes23]

While that's not at all what I would do with an S2K, that's pretty awesome.

[@kenkamins9364]

I will take wind noisse over creak creak rattle rattle any day!

[@austinfeliciano4483]

Matt loves his S2000's! haha

[@gtgodbear6320]

Balance beats power if your main goal is having fun.

[@Sabahes_ASMR]

The Evo from the last video made Matt smile more.

[@spire107]

Love how it sounds.

[@mrlost117]

His sweater reminds me of my old camping cookware

[@Garagetopics]

I'm just here to give this S2000 some love. #s2000goals

[@elguapok20]

Hardtop gasket just needs some grease and it'll stop creaking. Nice S2000 though!! Good build.

[@aikensbrown866]

hello mat. love your videos,you actually driving one my favorite cars . love it

[@howardz6256]

Finally saw some s2k!

[@XCVi_MAC]

He's a time traveler with those glasses he has on.

[@LoneRevD]

I'm usually not a S2K fanboy, but that one does make some great noises and seemed pretty balanced, good power, one does have to like the redline in them always like that in the Vtec motors..

[@pc007chan]

yes! S2000

[@ForbyVids]

lol nailing that stick at the end

[@jedknutson8373]

those rattles would drive me fuckin nuts...

[@sharpemang]

Jed Knutson dude I was grinding my teeth everytime I kept hearing it lol

[@ghost21501]

Jed Knutson The hardtop on my miata did that for a while and it drove me crazy every time I drove it. I put some bolt in brackets on it and has 0 squeaks and rattles. I'm surprised this one is so bad.

[@ASBP12]

yeah its the rubber seals. He needs better brackets, more shen etsu grease and probably better seals lol

[@nikkei325i]

He spent all that money and his car, but nothing to stop the creaking noise of the hardtop

[@dgsams]

Andrew P is right and He may not care about the creaking.... I have another friend that has one and ive tryed to tell him how to fix it but he said he could care less about it creaking...... Sooo to each there own...

[@SS8styles]

looks like a lot of fun to drive, would be a dope track toy

[@realtalk4689]

Track cars are my favorite. That is a nice build..$30k wow.

[@fraxonthefurry21]

Matt forget your glasses, I want that man's crazy awesome things!

[@staggeredhorizons3657]

that s2k sounds nuts!! :D

[@tscooter22]

THIS is a car that Honda needs to bring back. Perhaps just a little bit bigger for larger folks, and with more HP of course! Hell, I'd be happy with ~300 hp for my occasional backroad bashing (that is plenty of power to get yourself in trouble between the corners). I came close to selling my FD and buying one a few times. The Honda is a pretty tight fit compared to my FD and considering I'm the original owner of it, I'd have a hard time selling it. I love it! However, I really miss having a ragtop.

[@214ThirdCoast]

Thank god! Finally mat!

[@Heysey45]

I'm not a S2000 fan but damn that's a tastefully done S2000. 👍🏻

[@carbonshwartzmetalic]

IMO i'd leave the wing and hardtop on the side of the cliff. i am a porsche guy (997 S 6MT, 997 GT3, 991 C4S 7MT and currently a 991.2 C4S 7MT). i track with S2K's, they rip. my buddy is on a square set, custom offset. full moton's with reservoirs and monoballs. GL!

[@Shadowboost]

carbonshwartzmetalic so you should know that wing is doing the business. wingless S2000s on the track are slow as shit

[@514mw3]

And that wing is 3k+.....

[@deanbean2106]

Just finished the last review and saw this uploaded a few seconds ago, FUCK YES

[@jaynet022]

TheSmoking tire next video Matt brought a Honda S2000

[@f80dan]

Love me a S2K.

[@ZepaniZeppos]

These roads are gorgeous.

[@robertjdm]

I miss the shit out of my ap2. One of the most fun cars to drive!

[@mikes9722]

Togue monster!
