Default 135i or s2k, which has better handling

power aside, which car has better handling?

I have a buddy with a 135i, and I would love to find SOMETHING that is better in the s2k vs his 135i (for bragging rights of course!)

Thanks guys.
Adam

Was I really deserving of that comment?
If you can quantify "handling" accurately and concisely, then maybe you didn't deserve it.

If you can't, then don't expect the rest of us to give you a serious answer to your question and it's open season on akilbrid's new thread.

I was interested in opinions on:

Does the s2k have better stability and is it able to take turns faster than a 135i?

Is the s2k better in terms of overall track handling than the 135i?

What do you like better about your S2k vs her 135i?

135i's motor & tranny are smooth and power is good. it's pretty quick. i haven't raced her (lol) but i would say 135i is faster straight line. The brakes are excellent on her car. 135i is heavier, and steering ratio is a bunch slower, which i personally hate.

i've only driven her car 6/10th's at the most on the streets, but it's a solid car albeit with 'stubby' looks. other than that, i'm sorry i can't offer up much more than that. need to drive her car more.

It is easier to do and ask forgiveness than ask for permission.

Well, how about this... you can compare stock number to stock numbers.

Sorry, the S2000 on paper can't hold up to your buddy's 135.

I'll clean up the thread.

Awwww lame!!! ^^ This thread was hilarious until you "cleaned" it up.

I'm glad I got to see it before the censorship


To the OP: If you are such a baller, why aren't you able to tell him that your turbo s2k makes twice as much power as his bimmer? Just sayin
