What do you mean we don't have traction control.... I know for a fact that we do.
The button to enable/disable the trac control is near the glove compartment right below the warning light for low headlight fluid.
Perhaps the dude wasn't aware that the F20c can spin beyond 6000rpms. Just for kicks, I'd like to do a run on the drag strip one day without kicking into VTEC range just to see what kind of times and trap speeds I would get.

You all realize that if he's lurking here, he'll never post now! I wouldn't go too far poking fun, after all, not everyone can benefit from buying their car from me!

I will second that! Colin has a wealth of knowledge regarding stuff that most salespeople DO NOT KNOW. When I bought my S2000 in April of 2003 the local dealer in VA never told me about the special break in lubricant or that the stock tires do not stick below 50* F until one puts some heat in them, etc. Unfortunately, I experienced that second comment first hand. :-( before I read his post.
If it had been practical, I would rather have brought my S2000 from him. But, shipping from Hawaii to Virginia just was not practical.

BTW, Matt (pierceman) wants to meet up again, possibly tomorrow. You up for going out for a little while?
