Hey there! So, you're looking to snag the Spoon S2000 '00 in Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec? Awesome choice! This isn't just any S2000; it's been tuned by the legendary Spoon, making it a real treat on the track. ### Getting Your Hands on the Spoon S2000 '00 Unlike some other cars you can just buy, the Spoon S2000 '00 has a bit of a special acquisition method in GT3. * Win the Amateur Type R Meeting: This is your ticket! You'll need to compete in and win the Amateur Type R Meeting race. Keep in mind, it's not a guaranteed drop. You've got a 1 in 4 chance of getting the car when you win, so you might have to race it a few times. Don't get discouraged if it doesn't pop up on your first try! ### What Makes it Special? Spoon really knows their stuff when it comes to Hondas. They took the already great S2000 and made it even better. * Engine Upgrades: They've added new parts to the exhaust manifold, muffler, and throttle body. This means more power, and importantly, better torque in the low and mid-range, which is super useful for getting out of corners. * Drivetrain & Durability: Spoon went through the transmission and driveshaft, using high-precision custom parts to boost performance, feel, and durability. You'll notice a difference in how it handles. * Chassis Reinforcement: The already stiff S2000 body gets even more rigidity thanks to a strut tower bar and a roll cage. This helps keep the car planted. * Sharper Handling: A custom height-adjustable suspension system is installed. It's designed to reduce body roll while still giving you a bit of give on rougher surfaces. It makes cornering much sharper. What's really cool is that Spoon didn't just make it a hardcore race car. They managed to improve its performance while keeping it a decent commuter car. It's basically a more refined, better version of the original S2000, embodying Spoon's tuning philosophy. ### Colors Available in GT3 Back in Gran Turismo 2 and GT3: A-Spec, you had a nice selection of colors for the Spoon S2000 '00: * Grand Prix White * Silver Stone Metallic * Berlina Black * New Formula Red * Indy Yellow Pearl * Monte Carlo Blue Pearl Just a heads-up, from Gran Turismo 4 onwards, they simplified it to just Monte Carlo Blue Pearl. So, enjoy the variety while you can in GT3! Good luck with the Amateur Type R Meeting – hope you get that Spoon S2000 '00 quickly!
