Harsh, but essentially true. I remember reading many years ago that the S2000 could do a 0/60 in 5.4 secs which was quite respecatble back in 1999, and then I took my test drive and as you suggest it felt like a Civic under 4K RPM. I have to admit however that the S2000 comes alive over 6K RPM. It's unfortunate that Honda didn't evolve the car because it certainly has a lot of potential.

 

And then we could do a 100m dash and make you look old and tired.

 

You still run dashes?

 

Yea just like I'd run you off the track sucka

 

Maybe speedwalkin is more your thing?

 

I am old enough not to care what you think about me

 

Ghetto Racer, is that you?

I would be happy to race . . .

TD

 

and you're all class bro with your mad amateur/hobbyist tracking skills. do you knit too?

but not to fall too far off topic... I think bottom line, my point's been proven. The S2000 is a fantastic car and so is the Boxster S. It's OK to like both. It's OK to recognize the pros/cons of both cars. You don't have to put down one to raise up the other.

 

Ok now, looks like we have all kissed and made up .....Can we just all get along here??

Bottom line a Porsche is one hell of a car to own...Im looking forward to getting my first one....May have to wait an extra couple of weeks now...the wife just booked our family vacation in Huntington Beach California.... Maybe I should pick up a 996 while Im down in the LA area...and drive it all the way back to Canada...that would be an awesome road trip....

 

I love HB.

I picked up my first 911 a few months ago in SF and drove it up. It was a fun drive. HWY 1 is amazing.

 

I have never been to that part of the States...usually go to the east coast (Boston area) only a 10 hour drive from Toronto ...

I just love visiting the States...I can't wait the see what the Beach Boys sang about ... "California Girls".....my 16 year son must be going crazy counting down the days.....

 

You're in for a treat

 

I rented a Dodge Charger while Im down there...tought about getting a convertible....but I just couldn't drive a Sebring...should be fun::

 

Say what you want about TD, but I think it takes big stones to track a N/A 944. The only way to pass others (and 99% of those others have more hp) in a car like that is to be an exceptional driver and carry momentum (heck even my little 217hp Boxster has a massive advantage over his 944).

Give someone a TT and almost anyone can appear fast as they mash the throttle down the straights. Give that same person a 944 and they need to be damn good just to keep up in anything above the novice levels.

 

Hey man I believe, I believe and i'm not doubting TD's skills or whatever cuz i couldn't care less, but the whole d!ck measuring effort is well.... laughable. that's all. Now if he was making $$$ off it... then I'd recognize, but otherwise, it's just another guy spending $ and time to do a... hobby. like knitting. haha

am i impressed? hardly. am i amused? yes.
