Jesus Reyes admires Honda's S2000 platform for a variety of reasons. "It's a unique vehicle unlike other vehicles in the world," he says. "It was developed as the same high level sports car as the NSX." The high-revving engine, precise gear shifting and open-roof pulled him in, and now when he drives it he feels at one with the car and the road. Since taking ownership, Reyes has modified his S2000 far beyond the shape it came in.
