> [@marks\_lude"](#): > > sorry i didnt see this thread earlier… i could have told you everything to look out for in sub 16k s2000s. im sure ull love the car tho… and they are not bad in the snow… any sports car sucks with normal tires. i have 4 snows on now and its just as capable as my dads explorer in anything under 10 inches and stops faster too (id know, im currently living in minnesota). i just finished towing a 5x8 uhaul trailer with it from philly to minneapolis last weekend and hit 12+ inches of snow in mauston WI. the car towed thru it fine up until about 7 inches of unplowed snow on the road at which point we pulled off and waited it out. We had a autox guy locally (Manfred Woodall I’m sure you remember him Matt) who ran his AP1 during the winter for years with no problems. He’d toss 4 snow tires on it and go. He said the lack of torque, ABS, and rear diff let it do ok in the snow long as it had the tires. Few rare cases where he said the S2k would be doing better than some regular sedans on the road and he would pass them when they were struggling. ---

Yea, honestly the ABS & braking setup on the S2K is seriously amazing. Whats funny was last year a few owners of STi’s and EVO’s where swapping rides with a AP2 and everyone agreed the S2000 was slowing down faster than the rally cars. As far as slowing down I’d trust one in the snow (again, with proper tires). ---
