I can't think of a production Honda that's a V8? Is there one? Obviously, V10's for F1...

Hey... the S isn't an 8???? I paid a little extra for an 8... the dealer said it was rare... now I find out I've been gypped???? What the heck... I'll never get my money back outta it...

well... at least I have a spoiler so I have extra hp...

Just kidding... I really love the S, but I love it when people are surprised that it only has 4 under that hood...

My brother says it's so fast cuz it's wound up like a top...

whatever that means... he's just mad cuz his Stang can hang...

Oh, you must be racing $70k BMWs so when you beat them you can tell them, "Well, my car cost half as much!"

I agree with the point about assuming everyone knows about the car. I find most people have no clue.

I've had many people say, "Nice Porsche". One of the funnier experience is I was dropping a friend off to pick up his beater from the exhaust shop. Some guy and his girlfriend are there and run up to the car and ask:

They: "Wow, what's this thing got in it?"
Me: "Oh, just 2.0 L 4 cylinder"
They: (the look of disappointment)
Me: "But it generates 240 HP and revs to 9000 RPM"
Him: "Shit, I've got a 8 cylinder that barely gets that!"

Turned out he owned one of the old trans ams from the early 80s.

Yeah, edumacation is the key.

I took one girl for a ride, she got in and said, it's a 6 cyl right? I'm like no it's a 4... she was a little disappointed. Until I put the hammer down. Then she didn't care and even pointed to a 'stang GT and said "I bet this blows that away"

Hahhahaha

It's not so much that I expect everyone to know about the car. But I get a lot of people making comments about the car, as if they are extra knowledgeable about it. That's when it's a little annoying, when they are obviously just talking out of there ass.

I have a friend who's "really into cars" as well, and bought a G35 Coupe Auto recently.

When I got my car,

Him: "It's Turbo'ed right?"
Me: "No"
Him: "Oh, so it's just a 6?"
Me: "It's a 4 banger"
Him: "Oh"

They always look disappointed. But I would too if I didn't know any better. A NA 4 banger is about as boring as it gets. But like I said, if I didn't know any better.

shit i cant believe so many of you think like every f'ing person should know about the S2000...if someone has enough interst to ask about your car why dont you be nice and explain a little about it instead of rolling your eyes and thinking god how the f' does he NOT know its a 4 banger...at least thats the impression i get from a lot of the guys posting on S2KI, not neccessarily on this thread
Well i don't expect people to know all the specs on my car, most of the time if they direct me to thier car i couldn't tell you a thing about it. But these people should not be telling me my car is available in a v8 model and mine is the slow version, just so they can feel better.
