2003 Honda S2000
Owner: Cedric Castillo
Location: Boston, MA

Team: Emotion

We met with Cedric at HIN Boston a few weeks ago and selected his car from several hundred to be in the CarAndModel booth and for a feature on the site. We haven't seen many S2000's with this many modifications and he did a great job. See for yourself.

  Question & Answer

What is your favorite single feature or part of the car?

Hi revs and it sounds like a bike

What is your occupation?

Mobile Electronics Tech.

What's the funniest thing someone has ever asked you about your car?

"What year is that Miata?"

Do you drive it on the street? If yes, then how often?

Yes, but I usually drive it to work on nice days and beach runs with the fellas.

What other cars do you own now, and have you ever significantly modified any of your current or previous vehicles?

For my beater I drive a 97 Hummer (Honda Passport). My previous car was a 97 civic DX hatchback, which was back in my ricer days from body decals to huge fart can.

What's next for the S2000?

So far it's in the body shop for a new body kit, front bumper, GP sports sides, GP Sports rear, ING's ARC heat shield, TODA header, a different CF hood, an OEM trunk with BYS spoiler, VOLK Racing Time Attack wheels and hopefully a big brake kit if I have any more money...sponsors? (wink wink)

Would you do it all over again?

Yes and no, if I were to do it all over again it would be a 350z roadster with wide body and 20" chromies

What's the top speed of the car in it's present form?

I dunno never went triple digits yet

Have you received any speeding tickets in this car?

No. The funny thing is I've never received a ticket in this car, but with the civic it was all the time.
