Colin, Great stuff. Do you think you can track down a copy of the S2000 dealer promo video for the American market?

When they did the drag race test, they showed the interior of a different car. What gives??? Also, 14.7??? Come on guys. I ran a second faster than that in a stock AP1.


Still... fun to watch.

ARe you talking about the one with Tommy Kendell introducing and comparing the S2000 with the Porsche? I have that video, heck, I was the one who 'smuggled' it out of the store and made the DVD from the video tape.

East coast.... which is typically even faster. And at VMP which is one of the best prepared surfaces around. I trapped 102 though as well. I know 13.8 @ 102 is a good time, but 14.7 in a lighter car with the AP2 motor just seems.... slow. I expected better.

Can't argue on the handling front though. I can't wait to drive a CR.
