The History of the Honda S2000

What's up Everybody! This is a totally new kind of video, today I post a auto history video and I'm starting a whole auto history series! Starting g with the Honda S2000. Enjoy!

[@Latinochino]

OK video, but I think your trying to hard to be funny. Sorry. Seems like a bit of a knock-off of Donuts Media's "Up to Speed" series.

[@johnnyjdmyo]

S2000 are a gem 💎 its super rare here in the philippines and i owned one GPW AP1 and the prices of the s2000s here are going up!

[@iburiedpaul9544]

What a rip off of "everything you need to know / up to speed" hope they do a s2000 video soon and same this video

[@stevecarey5918]

I lived in Japan in the late 60's, drove both the S600 and S800, thanks for your video, brought back some great memories. Would love to have the S2000, maybe someday.

[@newtonwilliams3778]

Did you ever get one

[@kevincraig6794]

That DBZ joke just earned you another sub.

[@stephenimsong3462]

Just picked up a sweet 00’ with 53,000 miles, and she’s stock!

[@FlyinGato]

love seeing the S2000 history, I've had mine for a few years now, an AP1, love it! I've been driving it less since I've gotten my new Type R though.

[@TorqueJunkies]

Great car!

[@lewis7394]

Which do you like better?

[@jakec9066]

Lewis, s2000 will always have more character. No matter how many fake aero parts the new type r has....

[@williamnormile8488]

Brilliant...Informative with great video and comedic presentation...Best car review I have ever watched...Hector you should have your own weekly 1/2 hour TV show.

[@TorqueJunkies]

William Normile thank you! This is my favorite comment!

[@dinabratic5152]

2 thumbs up! After watching this, I immediately decided it was time to clean my s2k! 😁

[@TorqueJunkies]

Dina Bratic thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

[@mikenormandy9250]

Very Jealous Dina, ap1 or ap2?

[@devilsephiroth9000]

Thank you for this video. You did what "others" could not.

[@TorqueJunkies]

You’re welcome! Thank you 🙏

[@mikenormandy9250]

Being an owner of 2 previous Si's (EM1 & FG2) and now, a 10th gen Si, I have to say I do not miss Vtec. Yes, winding out my FG2 to 9K was very fun, but having a turbo in the 10th gen makes up for all the torque I never had and we all know torque is what moves cars....Awesome vid man, I am about to buy an AP2 CR! rumors are the s2k is coming back?

[@mrlong6267]

One of my favorite cars to drive is the Honda S2000. Underpowered? Yes. But you don’t need a super powered car to have fun on the streets. Perfect shifter. Try driving with the top down on a nice day or attack the twisty mountains. Hits the spot in any occasion. I even included my s2k into my engagement photo shoot many years ago : )

[@chriscaarnold]

Nice video Options for a forever car to keep as we are forced into hybrid electric transport tools. 1 gt86/brz 2 s2000 3 z4 4 mx5 Previous owner of ep3 civic and gt86. CHOICES!!

[@mjking5]

Great! RPM, not RPMs.... It's "revolutionS per minute," not "revolution per minutes."

[@S2kDude36]

Technically there were no 1999 models, anything built in 1999 was designated a MY2000, so AP1 model years are 2000-2003. One negative for the AP2 was the lower redline required a second shift into 3rd gear to hit 60mph, which slowed down the 0-60 time by a few tenths of a second. Funny that this car was featured on "Torque Junkies" since the S2000 is known for not having any torque.

[@JorgeLopez-ep6gq]

Awesome video! and great info

[@gerardov.9716]

Don't you hate it when a grown man with sideburns acts like a prepubescent teenage boy.

[@RantTherapist]

You've got a great personality bro, perfect for review cars hehehehehe. I still don't understand why you get so much hate (so much dislikes)....people can be shit sometimes. I'm sorry bro. Keep at it though and you'll one day have a million subscribers, and eventually maybe even a billion. (lol) hehehehe

[@kilh__22]

This is a great video!

[@austinbelsky]

Awesome video dude, super informative and well edited! I'm hoping to get an s2000 so I'm binge watching every video about it out there in anticipation!

[@newtonwilliams3778]

Great video

[@gregoryrobertson]

Great video man.

[@TorqueJunkies]

Greg Robertson thank you!

[@roosternugget69420]

I love my ap1, mainly because I drift every time i switch lanes

[@vallasjo8003]

Gooooosh

[@sajjadhossen7677]

S2000 my dream jdm

[@gsheverything_2716]

Great stuff Brother

[@TorqueJunkies]

GSHeverything _27 thanks brother

[@ed897]

Also this is a complete rip off of donut media, literally same car same day, you wanna rip em off but bow literally tip them off do a different car, also you completely forgt the s2000 model from the 80s and 22d

[@erickdominguez16]

this is a cool video! can you make something similar with the vw gti

[@nysdgiants]

what a joke! you have no idea why Honda came out with the S2000 and what their inspiration was? it was during their F1 heyday and CART (Indy) from the 80s and 90s. here's a little insider tip. blown up photo they had as an inspiration during development of the S2000 was the top view of Ayrton Senna MP4/4. they wanted the feeling of an "open wheel single seater" which you get behind the wheel of an S2000 from the seat position, steering wheel, driver door panel and transmission tunnel, even down to rev counter, just look at the onboards of Senna in a mclaren/honda during that time. we also owe the high redline in their road cars and VTEC kicked in yo! to their F1 program, without it there would be no VTEC. it has nothing to do with their bikes, that's what car journalist during the release of the car was spewing. Honda wanted to give you an open wheel car experience (F1) for the street. you can't get a high treble pitch in a 6cyliner and there was no way for them to use a V10 or V12 in mid $30k car, but you could in a 4 cylinder. here's a little Easter egg. everyone Google Ferrari F1 engineer and Honda S2000. if rehash drivel like this starts spewing out I may need to get a camera and start my own YT channel for the S2000. and stop driveling drifting and S2000, the S2000 is a sports car, it's just as bad as when people drag race their S. the S is not a drag car or drift car, if you want to drift or drag there are better cars to be had.

[@s2k4l10]

trying to copy the guys from donut media?

[@devilsephiroth9000]

Ruud van Velzen donut media needs to step their game up and make an s2k video.

[@j_mza]

Those 12 dislikes are Miata owners....

[@jakec9066]

Getting a license plate that says lol mx5 soon on my ap2 lmao

[@errorcity2736]

Informative Humor isn’t bad, just Way Too Many cuts of it.

[@ed897]

Looks nothing like a miata apart from that it’s a roadster, i hate miatas they are ugly little cars, but the s2000 is a sexy sleek but still small car

[@AJ-kv9vu]

why does my 2009 s2000 say f20 under the hood. an not f22. can any one help. ally in the uk

[@zer0rpm845]

F22 was for U.S models

[@nickjones7435]

US got f22 first then Japan in 06

[@iburiedpaul9544]

Still hit like tho..

[@janellmiramontes5793]

Awwww yeah booiiiiii!!!!

[@TorqueJunkies]

Thanks madam!!

[@guardian8903]

Just drove one and.......wow

[@madcowdk]

Good information in this video, but I couldn't finish watching. The attempt at humor is painful.

[@garrisonk8627]

i love my ap1

[@julianos4675]

Why does this remind me of “up to speed”

[@julianos4675]

Look up “Donut Media” and you’ll understand

[@julianos4675]

It’s on KZbin

[@gtp_vexd3507]

Anon "ah-non"; is short for anonymous, which is another word for everyone on a KZbin comment.

[@seanalexander9373]

I love my s2k but I find it ironic that the s2k is on "torque" junkie lol

[@patricksoler]

Great info but damn is this guy trying too hard to be funny. It's annoying

[@sheldonm3535]

Hit the unsubscribe. Those little clips you put in is horrible so annoying. Can’t even finish watching it completely. I need fast forward every 2 seconds. Stop copying donut media.

[@WackZest]

Enjoyed all the info, just not your attempt at being funny. Sorry bro but just stick to the facts

[@spool29k97]

Horrible editing. I see you reading off a paper after every hard cut. And the random clips of the car drifting are annoying especially since these cars aren’t made to drift.

[@mindflowers1792]

Big D Slap Agreed on the drift part. More of a circuit/touge monster

[@jimquantic]

Demand your money back for the free video

[@jakec9066]

Hard snap back after oversteering. Not good platform for drifting at all. Coming from an ap2 owner.

[@shaft9000]

'03 AP1 owner here...Some cool clips, some good (and bad) info, but this 'throw it at the wall' approach to humor is cringe-worthy af. Imitation is flattery, but bad writing is still bad writing.

[@dirtbike165]

Really going to spend that time mocking the length of a company name....

[@BSon-sj9uc]

3/5 history lesson.you are just reading things you see in a brochure.you are not speaking of the car from personal experience and you can tell.everything seems scripted.

[@trollyutosinyoucockroach8216]

TORQUE JUNKIES WITH HONDA ON IT LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

[@jamescho3930]

How do you feel stealing pictures from Motor Trend and put it as backgrounds and copying Up to Speed videos, with information that can literally be looked up on google in 10 seconds? KZbinrs nowadays will do anything to make money out of their videos. Lastly, don’t try to be funny because you are not funny at all.

[@TheJusting650]

Can you actually state facts without making a dumb joke every second?

[@terminatergaming1728]

This is awful compared to donut media Gotta work on the humor And why is s2k on torque junkies

[@scottgoodson5132]

What can’t anyone do a video like this without the cringeworthy, pseudo-humor?

[@TrancerideR6]

This video wasn't funny in fact it's just pure childish!

[@benforster3537]

FYI 50/50 weight distribution is absolutely terrible for drifting cars, and the S2000 is as well a terrible drift car. Way to fail at ripping off Donut Media.

[@Dangerousrobb]

The answer is always Miata

[@TorqueJunkies]

lol

[@andrewwright.]

599Robb no no NO!

[@palmbeachcitizen]

I had a Miata for 10 years. The Miata is a trainer car for the S2000, trust me. The S is far superior in every way.

[@elanjacobs1]

It's "Miata Is Always The Answer" 'cos that spells Miata. Also, no.

[@davidwolter5786]

BMW Z4.
