CJ Gutierrez owned five different cars before he drove his friend's S2000 and fell in love. "I felt like I was driving a go kart," he says. "Coming from two turbo cars (STI and Forester XT), it may not be the fastest but it is a very nimble platform. When I drive my 2005 Honda S2000, it always puts a smile on my face." Gutierrez tells us he plans on having the S2000 for a long time.
