Have you driven either on a track?

I take it you haven't.

Please, don't comment about what you don't know. My only real complaint about the s2000 is that it handles sorta kinda like 911's do....in the sense where you feal invinceable, and then you keep pushing it, and then you end up having the ass end snap around, and you're F-ed. You can correct it if you catch it early, but there is certainly a learning curve associated with it.

QFT. We actually put a Hurst Shifter in our 65, which had a nice little pull up trigger style thing...that wasn't to bad! What was scarey is that regardless of gear, you always felt like you were in nuetral (long arm wobble haha).

I've noticed that too...most of my s2k buddies have had many cars before the S....





Anywho, I like s2ks. They handle great, look nice, and don't really have enough HP with bolt ons to get you in trouble. Don't get me wrong, I love their powerbands (Having driven 2 stroke dirtbikes as a kid, this thing is like the car version), but unlike my 240, where I gotta really pay attention to where she's pointing, the s2k is 'man-handleable' in the sense that you don't really need to fear it to much hehe.
