Must be the Z has no "sting" either, because, correct me if I'm wrong but the Horsepower to Weight ratio of the S is HIGHER than that of the Z.

They must have just forgot to mention this along with all the other BS in this column

They always like the newer cars. But maybe the whole hornets remark was becasue our car rather loud and it has about the same 0-60 time as the quiter more torqey Z4 and 350Z.

Had a coupla kids pull up behind me in a jeep somethin or other at a grocery store parking lot Blocked me in, kinda pissed me off...The passenger
said he had a "built" Civic with a Wings West kit (also said that Wings West "sponsored him") and was gonna take it out to California for a photo shoot. Was
Smack talking about his Civic being a 10 second car....(yeah I know prolly stole it from F&F 1) And we needed to have a "friendly" race or 2 to see how we compared......I told him I didn't do drag racing to satisfy someone's ego....If he had a 10 second car then he was definitely faster but if he could go out to a local state park road where the corp of engineers had politely marked the road off in mile segments, when he could mile 0 through mile 1 in under 43 seconds he should give me a call, and gave him my phone number. that was back at the beginning of the summer and I haven't gotten a call. But, I haven't seen a civic down off the road either.......
Gotta tell ya, this road is up and down hills big sweepers a few reverse camber curves.....Lotsa very fun nasties.
This was the long way around to saying, 0-60 and quarter mile times are irrelevant when talking about the S2000. I have used this road to "take down" several "higher performance"
rides. Given the choice of "tracks" the S2000 is capable of beating many "faster" rides
