A stock 540i 6spd will beat the s2000 by a couple of car lengths to 60, then walk away......they make great torque...and really fly on the freeway.....but let me get one of those punks on a track....I will lap him hard!!!!!

A stock 540I will not hang with a well driven s2k, not to 60 and not on the 1/4 mile.

It will however hang at speeds over 120mph because of it's great aerodynamicity...

This buddy I know bought a used modded RX-7 and shortly after that, he is selling his car. I think it is from all the problems he was facing....
