2001 Honda S2000

Why keep it naturally aspirated?

Because the whole point of the car is the engine. The F20C revs to 9,000 rpm. That's the feature. The moment you put a turbo on it you're fighting the car instead of driving it. I want to hear it scream, not hear a blow-off valve.

What's the mod you're most proud of?

The exhaust. I spent four months researching before I pulled the trigger on the Toda Racing unit. First time I heard it at full song on a canyon run I pulled over and just stood next to the car for a minute. It changed the whole character of the build.

What does this car mean to you?

It's the only thing I own that has no practical purpose whatsoever. No cargo space, terrible in the rain, two seats I can barely fit in with a helmet on. But I've never once gotten out of it and not been in a better mood than when I got in.
