geared s2000 vs new M roadster
edmunds compared it to the boxster S. says it's the performance bang for the buck being slightly cheaper than the porsche. boxster S commonly compared to S2000. ergo, what do you guys think M roadster vs S2000. obviously acceleration goes to the M, so throw in a geared S2000.
btw, the M cost more than a M3 coupe.

Well... from these stats that I took from motorweek's road tests it seems to me that a stock S2K would would keep up just fine. Seems like it would be a driver's race. But with a geared S2K... from these stats... the S2K would come out victorious.

Any and all specs that I have seen on the Z4M are 5.0 0-60... I expect it will hit at least m3 numbers since it is the same engine so put it at 4.8 0-60 and 13.0 1/4 mile

I imagine it will smoke a stock S2k but I wouldn't except anything less from a performance oriented vehicle with such a high price tag. With a SC and 300ish WHP, the new M will be toast!
