you tell us a Corsa will do 150
and any Imprevo will chase you to 60 and then keep pace
yet I remember your main driver being that you had to have a car that would seriously outpace these young pretenders
you patently haven't bought one
God help you if you run into an Astra VXR or a Cupra TDi

There's no point trying to rationalise Impreza's or Evo's because they are so easy to tune they can theoretically keep up with almost anything this side of

I can't say I'm particularly worried about what other cars are doing.
I own an S2000 because I like the car, not because I try to compete with people off the lights.
I own an S2000 because I enjoy driving it, even more driving with the roof down.
I own an S2000 because of the fact that the roof goes down in 6 seconds.
I own an S2000 because it's *different*.
I don't understand this whole Top Trumps thing (as somebody else called it) with the stats - the car's fast enough for me and the speeds of other cars, hot hatches or not, won't change that.

It's only a car though, with plusses and minuses like any other
Suits my needs just now, might not tomorrow. Doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.
I have emotional songs in the key of life, to write, I can't be wasting my time worrying about how fast my car isn't
