oh, as for the s2 having that lap time, it was due to complications w/ his super charger. guess you guys failed to mention that cause there is no way an s2 would be that slow.
i had to go and buy it see for myself-marcus

Different drivers - makes any direct comparison of car performance pretty shaky. When I saw the cover, I was expecting a really cool story. It turned out pretty weak. It seems these SCC track shootouts always have the owners designating the driver. I would much prefer the writer of the story drive all the cars for validity of lap time comparison and articulation of how the cars actually feel on the track.

can any one driver really drive any random car at its absolute best? Not likely.

Hey guys, I ended up missing a shift 4th to 3rd instead of 4th to fifth and killed the rings in my S2K on a test day 1 day before the time attack took place. My engine had minimal compression because of it. I ended up taking it to the event even though I had no chance at that point. I just took it to get the exposure in Sport Compact Car. I will do a full post on the article in the gallery section soon.
