I am of the strict opinion that a real fan of anything is able to recognize where those things have flaws. Nothing is ever perfect, no matter how close they get, and if you can't recognize the issues in something you enjoy then you're not a real fan, you're what people on the interwebs refer to as a "glazer" and I instinctively assume you don't actually like the thing and you're just saying you like it for internet points.
Leading by example is always a good thing. The particularly astute will notice two distinct manners of conversing your thoughts, both are perfectly valid.
This delightful little thingy is a Honda S2000 (generally abbreviated as the S2k), and it's the ONLY (affordable) rear-wheel drive honda that could be purchased in the states. The first generation AP1 came with a 2 liter inline 4 DOHC engine (the F20B), which redlined at 9000 (you could redline your car just by going full throttle) and made 240 horsepower (at the time this engine held the world record for the highest horsepower per liter out of any production engine). The car was clearly designed during the peak of honda's european styling theme (alongside most of the early 2000's acura lineup) (unless you count the weird audi ripoff they did with the 10th gen accord).
Of course this thing has flaws. 240 horsepower isn't actually like... a ton or anything, and the engine was designed to be revved out super high for any meaningful power. If you want to get this thing off a hill you basically need to floor it, otherwise you're going to bump into the guy behind you (keep in mind this car was only offered with a manual transmission and hill starts kinda suck lol).
VTEC, a system honda designed in the 90s and that was used for nearly 3 decades, is obviously present in this car. By changing the camshaft profiles, you can have two optimal power bands: One for torque, to get your car moving, and one for horsepower, to keep it moving (or in the case of economy cars the lower revs are optimized for fuel efficiency). The system uses a solenoid to activate the system at specific RPM's (for the F20B, VTEC activated at some point between 5500 and 6000 rpm) at which point oil is pumped into the camshaft to lock a lobe in place and activate the second set of camshaft profiles. This system burns a lot of oil.
This car is also way too damn expensive now (come on buddy your 20 year old car is not worth 30 grand) and it's a convertible which is kind of impractical if you live in a super rainy place like I do.
FUCK CHAPTER 3 FUCK CHAPTER 5 FUCK CHAPTER 8
CYCLE GAMEPLAY SUCKS OH MY GOD
movement is fun though
