Since I possibly pissed off others in another thread, I might as well keep it going. Aside from the shifter feeling and of course how light it was, I never got into the S2000 hype. I just never felt that VTEC yo like others.

I will say the ITS I test drove did feel powerful enough to be fun. If the S2000 had that power level without mods, it would’ve been a riot.

to be fair, he said the S2K is "good", which is probably the least hot take of all time.

i dont really fit in them, but the shifter is the star of the show to me. in terms of on road dynamics (and fit) i prefer miatas and (most) Z cars.

Funny, I was a huge 300ZX fan, unfortunately couldn’t afford the TT at the time.

Lol, beat me to it, was gonna say exactly the same thing. I'd say it is one of the great roadsters of this century. I mean, that's a small pool of competitors, sadly, but it is what it is.

To clarify - "good" in terms of shifter feel/engagement (on topic)

So until I hear otherwise, I'm assuming that it's the same and always will be until it's gone for good.

Edit: FWIW, If I had to reach, I guess it is plausible that the changes for the Supra/Z4 gets backported into the G87, I guess? Still seems unlikely, but possible?
What about the improved manual they put in the 2025 Z4? Sounds like they made improvements to that

I noted that possibility, yes. But the only honest answer is that no one knows BMW's plans.
