IBTL, repost.
hannibalking86 - our cars were designed in the 90's which makes it NOT "built to compete against these cars."

the s2000 had a huge disadvantage in this course.

with high speed corner exits and that fat straightaway, it is hard for the s2000 to keep up against these already over-powered cars.

the tsukuba isn't exactly where the s2000 shines.
the Togue is, though .

yes it was designed to compete with the z, but that was 8 years ago, and while the z has evolved, the s has not.

i agree that at minimum, the s needs to have an upgrade version, either whith a lager more powerful engine, or with a turbo

yikes wtf
i just learned that the 135i is a twin turbo 300hp v6

the S was at a severe disadvantage

and that Nismo Z is was too fast for some reason

i'm surprised DK in the 135i couldn't keep up
