A Tuner Shop Built the S2000 R That Honda Should Have

The Honda S2000 won fans the world over during its decade of production run. After Honda stopped making the model, it became the darling of tuners everywhere. Not much could go wrong with a nicely balanced chassis and high revving VTEC engine, but for some the power the S2000 made was never enough. Sure, it made 237 horsepower, but you had to rev the hell out of it to get there. But what if Honda had made a version with more power? Sadly, the automaker never did, but YouTuber Larry Chen went to check out a California tuner shop that built the ultimate S2000.
