Default Score one for the S.

Had a good morning today in the S. On my way to the local Saturday get together at Crystal Cove I refrained from picking on a couple of Ferraris. I had decided to go to the middle entrance where most participants enter. As I passed the first entrance I noticed all the cars had entered but I couldn't exit the highway at that point. I went down a mile or so the the next signal and hung a U-turn. There must have been 120 or so sports cars and hot rods on the side of the road waiting to enter and the gate was still closed. Knowing the next entrance up was open I decided to do a showoff run past all the hot cars and play the Amuse trumpets. I pulled out of the U-turn at 20 mph in 2nd and just stood on it. Very quickly I was over 9000 and shifted to third and that was over quickly too. I hit 9500 rpm and shutdown. The sound was absolutely incredible. I noticed everyone looked up and continued to look as I went by.
Let's hear it for: "The S2000 Flyby"
I pulled in at the open entrance and proceeded to park. Shortly thereafter there were crowds around wanting to know "WTF I was running." The sweet Honda song made a lasting impression on lots of car folks this morning.

Sweet! I was hoping for a Z06 kill or something along those lines.

You mention Ferrari, so I was expecting a 360 kill or run... I wouldn't say this normally but you have one insane setup.
