||Ok, yes you are right, the S2000 is Honda badged with a 6 speed. As a

Sure. Redline is somewhere around 8500, and it doesn't have much torque, so you
probably have to buzz the motor a bit just to get around town. Which is what
the target custoemr is going to want that car for anyway. It's also probably
geared a little deeper in the rear axle.

you obviously are one of the two Texans not driving a slugburban or
expectorade. Just the other day I picked up a texan whose Messcalade had run
out of gas...perfect!
