Well the fox IS 14 years old... SO I really hope an expensive NEW sports car will be safer than a car based on the 79 Fairemont
Everyone that I know that owns or has owned one is gay. Really. Not that there's anything wrong with that........ I'm just sayin'.
This is the same attitude that leads people to believe that a large SUV is the safest choice for their family (it isn't). There is nothing unsafe about the S2000. In fact, I would bet that it's much safer than any Fox body could ever dream of being.

I would rather be in a Suburban hitting an S2000 Head On than in the S2000, so I will stick with the Attitude that the Large SUV would be the Safer Choice.
True, although in a nimble sportscar, you're more likely to avoid the situation altogether. Statistically, large sedans are safer than either. None of the above are "coffins."
Common sense dictates that in a collision small car < big car
I take it you dont like your s2000 anymore...
What does everyone think? I'm considering selling the notchback and purchasing a Honda S2000. I test drove one and the thing would eat my notchback alive. The handling is incredible, yeah it's low one torque but has great top end. It's pretty good on gas (25-27 overall mpg) and has rock solid reliability.
Should I do it or not?
Ok guys, a little 4.6L snake beat some sense into me the other day. I went and test drove a 1998 Cobra with some suspension mods( steeda strut brace, offset rack bushings, steeda springs, tokico adjustables, flows) and the thing was a beast in the straights as well as the twisties.
Best thing is the guy is the original owner and had it garaged for it's entire life. The car has not one paint issue and it still feels super smooth, no oxidation at all.
37K original miles, he put the car on his in-house rack so I could inspect the under carriage. Not one leak or seep of any oil and the damn A/C is like antarctica!!
I have a '06 S2000. Definitely the most focused and one of the best engineered cars I have ever owned. The "fun" factor is hard to beat in the S and on the track, the car shines. On the street, the lack of torque can be very annoying, but on the track you won't miss it, the car is always in the power band. I was planning on installing a "roots" style supercharger when they become available, but I decided to not make the investment, just drive the Mustang and sell the S. So as of last week, I have the S2K up for sale.
Don't trust your mpg estimates, my best mpg was 24 and I average 22 mpg. However, the S2000 is extremely reliable, never one problem, even after many trips to the track for some lapping fun.

Good find! Now you won't ever have to worry about not having low end torque.
