You can't expect much from an article that rates the Audi TT higher than the Boxster S...they obviously have strange ideas about what a roadster should be....

If they have waited to see 60mph on the speedometer that's why they take so much time to hit 60 because our speedometer have a slowmotion brain !!! When you SEE 60 you probably run about 70 do this to see what i'm talking about : When you try a 0-60 you will have to change in third gear before SEEING 60...Now put in second and take your car to 60 slowly you will not have to change in third gear...If i remember i saw 65 or 66 at 9000rpm

I don't exactly consider Popular Mechanics to be the definitive auto enthusiasts' magazine. How old is this article? The Honda had to be a '01 or '00 model since the rear window was plastic.

S2000 was SECOND SLOWEST (behind only the Miata) in 0-30 acceleration!!!

WTF???

They OBVIOUSLY did not launch the car properly, if the Toyota Spyder and SLK320 were faster 0-30.

I like how it said that the car was not for the mellow.

I guess that explains all the crazy people like us that own the S2K.
