[QUOTE="SPXTrader, post: 6287263, member: 26099"] As Silver2003 did, so did I. From a S2000 to the Cobra. Both were/are 2001 models, and both verts. The S2000 seemed much tighter with a lot less squeeks, rattles etc. you find in a vert. Really couldn't tell you were driving a vert. A very fun car to drive, I had the 6K to 9k powerband. It really needed a shift light as the move from 6 to 9 was so fast, I found myself getting into the rev limiter quite often. As for OT, yeah, it was good, but once you pushed it just a tad over it's limits, it was gone. Very unforgining. The main reason I sold mine was, at the time Honda was having major problems scorching the #4 cylinder. It was so bad that they recalled all euro and asian models for a fix. Honda said that since Americans didn't drive as hard, they weren't worried about the problems here. Personally that's a crock. The "fix" was a simple change of an oil sprayer that put oil up under the pistons. Old ones had 2 holes, the fix had 4. Not an expensive part, but a pain (and expensive) to replace. So since Honda decided to screw over the US owners, that was enough for me. A really nice car and fun to drive, but being old, I'm much more into the V-8 thing. Liked the Honda, love the Cobra...
