And that is my point, the S2K weight and adgillity are out matched by the Zs power.
To be fair in the S2K's defense the one tested is a heavier model. You can see the S2K has navi/video screen, and if I'm not mistaken the VGS model as tested is useless and heavier. AP1's are known for being twitchy in the corners, but you can still get an AP2's rear end to break traction, and they talk about it in the video below, it also shows the S2K being slower but not by that much, they even agree the the S2K handles better because it's lighter perhaps? Which is what this topic is about light weight cars.
