S2000s should stay clear of straight line drag races

way too many cars out there that will stay with it

and plenty that will kill it

ditto 8 litre behemoths on twisty roads

Better be careful with that handle, before you know it you'll end up in a hedge and come out with vehicular ocd.

Or worse, you do a jelly Bassett, and end up with so many pointless fashion addons your car is weighed down by a fecking long signature (see above) and it could be overtaken by a Micra

Nick, keep to the twisties, its not a drag car

It's got a tuned V8, breathed on by Ford's Special Vehicles Team.

The Dodge offering is similar in terms of performance, although from memory it has the V10 taken from the Viper.


A director of our company has one...a red one

Its the winter car, to go with his Skyline GTR

I can almost see the attraction of one of these things

What does annoy me about them (their drivers of course) and cars like the Range Rover 'Sport'

Is that they don't stick to the straight lines for heroics

I've lost count of the times I've had to accommodate them straightlining d/c roundabouts for example
