All man, not this again.

I'll skip all my personal beliefs and bullshit for everyones sake.

My point, and the most important when your debating 10 second time slips on beefed up $30k cars. "Don't compare the EVO to the S2000 in a race, compare a skilled experienced driver of an EVO to the same of an S2000, the S2000 driver I think will be way more skilled. I don't care to drive in a straight line, and learning to race a track takes a lot of talent, I feel the S2000 will reward me more as a learning driver than an EVO. Not to mention, I'll move on to better faster etc. etc. cars as I get older, so becoming a better driver will always be of value, owning an uber fast drag S2000 at one point will not.

Improve yourself before the car. Can the owner of a 852whp S2000 actually even use 50% of it's ability?

doesnt look a show setup to me
Trust me, any car with that small of rear tires w/ 852whp on under 2800lbs is all show. You will go absolutely no where if you touch the gas. People are so hyped on numbers and don't understand driveability at all. Put it this way, that car has 275 rear tires, most 800whp+ Vipers or Vettes have 355+ rear tires. Explain to me how this car is at all driveable.

Give me 220whp, R compounds and a great suspension and I'll show you a good time.

Alot of those 800+ v8's and v10 are putting down nearly double in tork what that s2k is putting down... Something to think about as far as grip goes...
