[quote=07BlackG35Stud;2400652]Slight correction: 2003 is the last S2000 year before the motor was stroked and the rpm's dropped....I know because I owned one 
[/quote
But didnt they change the body style in 2003? I like the original body style and purchsed a 2000 model. I was mad that Honda kept making them as that was supposed to be a ultra low production car but turned out to be a booming success. My only complaint was the plastic window but even some Ferraris come with plastic windows on the convertibles. I know that was replaced with glass in the 2002 model.

No, they changed the body style in 2004. Here's the break down:
AP1: 2000-2003
AP2: 2004-present
Main difference between 2000 and 2001 are the tweeters on the doors that they added for 2001, and the wind deflector (between the 2 seats) that they added for 2001.
Main difference between 2001 and 2002 is the rear glass versus plastic, and the shift **** I believe. They also changed some lines on the dash.
2002 and 2003 are identical. I believe one of the few differences was the Honda emblem on the front bumper is larger on the 2003 model. My friend had a 2002 and I had a 2003 and we couldn't find any differences.
Main differences between 2003 and 2004 were the engine up to a 2.2L, the head/tail lights and bumpers changed, the wheels changed, and the interior changed a bit. Also the dash.
From 2004 and up the changes are minimal, mostly wheel styles.

G is not tossable at all, the weight is very evident.
So my point is to those who don't think the G is tossable at all -then they are approaching it from the wrong perspective. The G accomplishishes its tossability differently from say an S2K.

I dont know guys. Compared to my 330 ci the G feels more high strung and track ready. Most of the Car mags evaluate it the same. more sophisticated suspension than the BMW and therefore a better track car. Better mid range pull and handling make up for the BMW advantage in low end grunt so its a wash.
My experience is that it handles as close to a BMW as any car on the road and with the LSD standard, the G is tough to beat.
CArr & Driver stated that either car was just a likely to be ahead at the end of a straight. You be the judge but categorizing the G as a GT is not quite accurate.
Cheers!
