here are the laptimes from hockenheim (short course)... the SPORT-AUTO tests every month a sportscar...





the lotus exige (179hp) is only 0.6 sek slower as the diablo GT (575hp)!!

 

Hey, Our S2000 beats the Audi S4. Just one thing I am dissapointed is that Boxster S beats our car. It must be that Mid Engine setup. Look, we are not far behind a M5.

also, I noticed the BMW M3 should be a E36 M3. I wonder, will E46 M3 beat that time and ultimatly gets up the top 3 list for that group. then again, that is 3 secs the E46 M3 have to make up to get to Top 3.

 

Boxster S beats the S2000 by .6 sec. Not bad for $15000.

 

the M3 ist the brand new 343hp with optinal 19"weels...

 

Just think, with a throttle body upgrade, headers, fuel pressure tuning, perhaps lighter wheels/flywheel, the S2k might even beat the Boxster S, perhaps with just a portion of those mods as well.

 

I have the issue where they test the S2K against the Boxster S.

The Boxster had the sport pack, 17 inch, wide tyres, etc. So, not 100% fair.

Still, I suspect that the S2000 performance is somewhere between the 2.7 and 3.2 Boxsters. But with a 2.0 engine and thousands of bills to spare.

 

I'm pretty impressed. The Stook may not be the fastest but it's up there in some pretty exalted company guys.

 

Actually our car was bested by the RS4, which is a station wagon variant of the S4! It can haul groceries and some serious a## as well. Unfortunately, this version is not to be imported across the pond.

 

and isn't the M coupe the station wagon version of the M roadster?

 

Yes, it is.... (in the 321hp europe-version)
