My S2000 Vs. A 360 Challenge Stradale
Okay, so I went to swap rims with a member here in Palmdale. Anyways, I decided to take the Angeles Crest Highway to Palmdale and right as I got on to the Highway, I encountered a Ferrari Challenge Stradale 360. We raced through the twisties (the new 04 torque kept me going fast without revving like a banshee through the turns). His car is definitely fast and really pulls on the straights, but I was surprised that I kept up through the corners and I was really catching during the trail braking. Maybe it was the driver, but our cars can definitely be extreme canyon machines (touge). The Ferrari owner gave me a compliment and said he respected our car for keeping up through the corners.....what a day!!!

If a GT3 or Challenge Stradale is lapping as fast as an S2000, their driver needs to be shot. The Porsche and Ferrari will outright annihilate an S2000.

The Challenge Stradale and the GT3 are extremely fast cars, but I was still keeping up in the corners at Angeles Crest. The reason has to be because they can't really use their power through the real tight turns through there- hence advantage S2000 for being nimble.
The exhaust note on the Challenge Stradale 360 is simply intoxicating.

You were pushing harder.
The 360 Challenge has a higher lateral acceleration capability, i.e. if the driver wanted to his corner entry, duration and exit speeds would be considerably faster.

One time, I was just cruising down Honea Egypt and a Corolla was sticking right with me. We got to the end, I get in the right-turn lane and he gets in the go-straight lane, and the Corolla driver says, "Man, we were haulin' ass back there!"
I just give him a friendly nod, then make my turn.
The Corolla driver probably got on his forum and said he kept up with an S2000.
