Default competition

Uh, i have a friend with a 3.2 type s (stock, but not for long). I have a cousin about to get a 350Z im on the verg of buying a s2000 and wanted to know what kind of cars have given you competition. Winning doesnt necessary matter its more about presenting a driving challenge to me.

There are many cars that will challenge you. Even worse, there are many DRIVERS that will challenge you in inferior cars.

Man, it all depends on the venue. Right now in my region Tripper Cook and his Lotus Elise is the combination to beat on the autocross courses and at the HPDE's. Unless you are drag racing the driver is usually AT LEAST as important as the car.

If you are looking for a car to win short drags away from stop lights, the S2000 is the WRONG car to be looking at, and this is the wrong forum to be asking your question.
