2001 Honda S2000 - AP1 at 9,000RPM is Exactly What I Needed (POV Binaural Audio)

I finally drove the Topher's S2000! This is my first time driving an AP1 and this one has 146,000 miles. Let's go find out if this F20C can still hang.

Fun fact - the gauge cluster is a copy and homage to Ayrton Sennas McLaren mp4/4 F1 race car.

wow that intro. i know yall are friends but its always so funny to see all 3 of you in the same video

Fun S2000 fact, it has a start button, not a start/stop button. To turn the car off you simply turn the key like a normal car. If you hit the button with the engine running you’ll hear the lovely grind of the starter motor bumping the spinning flywheel 😬. I miss my Suzuka 03 AP1, it was my only car and daily for about 5 years. Fun times.

That VTEC sounds incredible. would take this over any of those expensive super cars.

It is impossible to not love an S2000. It had the highest brake horsepower per litre for NA production cars when it debuted, it's still pretty phenomenal now!

[rainmaster]

ive driven alot of sports cars. and as an s2000 owner, maybe it is bias, it is the most fun you can have on 4 wheels. the shifter is the best and the thrills one can have without breaking the law. Honda at its peak. I wish theyd make a newer one. the f20 f22 series engines were beast.

That Audi sounds amazing!! I miss my 2002 S2000. It was a fun car to drive.

Man even though I am not a honda fan this this is awsome either way

Wobbly shift knob. Reminds of my S2000. Replace the engine and trans mounts and it'll be solid again.

Tedward video on Topher's streets? Sometimes I forget those two live in the same dimension

7:49 wild how fast that rs7 gets out of the way

[Mathman]

Watching Tedward become a true Honda enjoyer over time has been so much fun.

I just got to check out an S2000 in person yesterday for the first time! I love them. I can totally see why they hold their value so well.

Don't think cars like this will ever come back. Emissions standards are too strict to allow for high-RPM N/A engines with good throttle response. I figured this out when I failed emissions by just removing the rev-hang from my old civic. It increases the NOx just enough to fail. That's why manuals with sharp throttle response are a thing of the past. Younger driving enthusiasts don't even know how good the manual sports cars were from the 90's and early 2000's... Razor sharp response and total driver-control. Newer cars are just "floor it and let the computers take care of everything."

i cannot explain how much i LOVE your povs :)!

This car aged so good. Timeless design.

[edalder]

The super high revs has me thinking the engine note is a combo of motor bike and F1 car. I like it!

AP1 S2000 owner here with 113k miles. New convertible top, new clutch, extended floor mats, fujitsobo exhaust and AP2 v1 wheels. The car looks and drives amazing! Best gear box in the business. Awesome all around.

The AP1 S2k was a long time dream car for me, ideally in this color combo, the blue on blue, or white on beige. I’d still love to own one if the opportunity ever presents itself.

This is probably THE perfect sports car
