Just to let everyone know that the September issue of "Sports Car International" has a one page review of the S2000 in it.

The article makes a quick comparison of the changes to the '02 model verus the '00 and '01 editions. . .

Specifically, the artcle focuses on the "improved suspension tuning" which makes the "two-seat convertible a much more composed machine on imperfectly paved twisty roads."

The article mentions the the fact that the front anti-roll bar has been reduced from 28.2 to 26.5. It also mentions the that the "interior is treated to a host of changes, including an upgraded center console, door panel net pockets, various silver trim accents and an aluminum-finished dead pedal." and new glass rear window. . .

In summary:

. . ."Unchanged is the superbike wail of the S2000's high-strung 240-hp 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. The thrill ride from 6,000 to 9,000 rpm continues to be one of the best in the business. But now the S2000 has the handling composure to match the exuberance of its drivetrain."

Hey iceman -

I posted this a few days ago. Beat you to it!! HA HA.

I'm just screwing with you. I'm glad to see someone else reading SCI. It's one of my favorite car rags because they don't waste time or space on SUV's, econocars, or the latest 4X4 from Dodge.

Thanks for the heads up. I used to love SCI years ago, but it changed and I dropped my subscription. May have to check it out again. Their original write-up on the S2000 was very in depth and good as I recall.

Actually, SCI is one of the best car magazines on the market. . . The combination of high quality paper & topics relating to only "sports cars" makes it a winner in my book.

dlq04: By the way, what did SCI change? I haven't noticed anything major. . .
