The Honda S2000 is the least-annoying Honda made, if you want my honest opinion. It wasn’t a boring sedan that only just did it’s job, it wasn’t a pretentious hybrid, and it wasn’t a front-wheel-drive fanboy car that sounded like a swarm of Asian Giant Hornets in the middle of an episode of road rage. Sure, it’s a high-revving (8,800 RPM redline) four banger, but being a rear-wheel-drive two-seat roadster somehow makes it acceptable. But there’s always room for improvement, and one particular S2000 owner in Syracuse, New York decided that a supercharger and turbocharger simply weren’t enough. So out came the 2.0L four-cylinder and in got shoved the entire drivetrain out of a 2006 Viper.
The list of modifications is huge, and that’s just with what the owner listed on Craigslist. Undoubtedly there was a significant amount of fabrication work going on in order to jam the V-10 into the little Honda. Every area of the car was adjusted and tweaked in order to properly set the car up. This is by no means a hacked job at all, instead this might be the cheapest power-for-dollar deal I’ve seen in a long time. It’s not cheap at $27,000 but the amount of fun this little rocket must be is more than worth it.

The S2000 is the least annoying Honda? What about the NSX? And while they may annoy you, you can’t discount the fact that the Integra Type R and Civic Type R are solid performers
Be careful, Integras and Civics hit a nerve with McTaggart 🙂
I agree, they can be. And the NSX is in a whole ‘nother league altogether. Everyone has their personal preferences, and it’s simply my opinion: while fast is fast and is respectable, I cannot stomach a FWD Honda-based product that might pull a 14-sec quarter that’s slammed, stanced and sounds like a hippo after a Taco Bell binge. I think that’s fair.
That’s the way to improve a Honda. I’ll bet it annoys a whole heap of Corvette owners.
Throttle blip u-turns anyone? My tire budget would be through the roof.
