It really scares me that this guy was racing at 100+ (VR6 is a 5 speed, he was in 4th so 110, 120?) and NOT WATCHING WHERE HE WAS GOING. I'm sorry, but when I go over 80 or so, I stop looking at the tach/speedo - you gobble up asphalt WAY too fast to watch the speedo. This guy didn't even notice the S2000 was 100 feet ahead of him.

I owned a VR6 Jetta for awhile. Had lots of mods, was a quick car, but completely outclassed by my S2000. I would probably still have that car if it weren't such a POS in the reliability area.
