Acura/Honda drivers

You know you're out there! post up!

I picked up an '06 S2000 in June. I have some Direzza Star Specs on it (which by the way are amazing tires) and it's completely stock otherwise. I'm going to get a Flashpro (EMS/tuning device for those unfamiliar) at some point here in the next few months to really open up my options. 06+ S2000s have a fully reprogrammable ECU so I'd be doing things like dropping VTEC engagement point, bumping redline up to 8500, playing with timing to take advantage of 93 octane, etc. Plus I can datalog and tune whatever I want. After that I'm thinking about saving for a turbo kit because the only thing I think this car needs is a bit of extra power--everything else is great already.

I have a 2007 Acura TL type S . Its my DD and its a nice ride. If this thing was rwd or AWD, it would be a remarable vehicle. Being FWD, its really limited but its quick for a 3.5 liter and all the gizmos in the car keep me preoccupied. Its got an excellent stereo, backup camera, nav, really love this car as a DD

cool! I actually have an 06 Navi. I thought about the Type S (it came out when I got mine in sept '06) but the deal I got for mine was a no brainer. plus, I got the TL to get into a low maintenance car. The Type S had brembos - that alone plus the DRL were the deal breakers for me

I wanted the Type S because of the bigger motor 3.5 liter 286hp and it has all the gizmos the car came with so no options but manual or auto. The regular TL was just too slow after coming from my 400hp GTO but I needed better mileage and an auto so this was the compromise. It also has a really tight suspension that feels fantastic, noise cancelling technology, voice control that works. Its an amazing car for its price, but I wish it was AWD or RWD. FWD ruins the great suspension they put under it. The bottom line is I knew these things really hold their value well. I can drive this thing for another 2 years and only lose a couple grand on its value. Try to do that with a Mercedes or BMW and you lose more then half its value in just 2 years and they cost 2x as much to begin with.

i agree. i really wish the 3G TL was at least AWD or RWD. its a shame only the 4G is now AWD, with a similar torque-vectoring active rear diff similar to the Evo X.

Don't hate.

I'd love to trade my VR4 for an S2000, or sell it and get an S2000. I've been cruising craigslist every now and again for one.

An S2000 is a fun car to drive. If only it were a hardtop Id buy it. The optional hardtop roof is a clumsy one to store, wish it was built in.

my first car was a Glacier White Pearl FWD 3000GT. From there it went to an Wicked White Evo GSR > Weightless White Evo MR > White Diamond Pearl TL Navi, which is again FWD. I think Im going back to my FWD roots. too bad there is no 2011 Mitsubishi 3000GT otherwise that would be my current car
