video is incredible, not only of the restoration, but of him driving it and winding it out. just mind blowing, sounds exacly like a tiny formula 1 car.

It's about a 12 minute video, and I just sat here and watched it three times in a row, once he gets it warmed up, crank up the sound when he winds it out. WOW!! http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/cars/HondaSM600_shell.shtml

When I saw "S600" I thought of a big Mercedes. I'm so in love with those old Honda Roadsters. They are so awesome.

That engine is unreal, 57hp from only 0.6L, in the early 1960s?!...

I love the sound, you see where some of the cues for the s2000 came from, but it's not even close as far as being this cool.
