That's the key

I had to quote you for the awesome Idiocracy sig!

this car is deceptively quick, esp on a nice cold night, but it's never going to be a powerhouse

no regrets here, I love the car

Damn, I was being sarcastic. That's why I put the next to my last sentence. I guess there's no point in being sarcastic through the 'net, especially when people who will argue with you say, "Now you... blah blah... put it SILENT!!!"

Saying the S2000 is too slow compared to those other cars is like saying Steve Nash is not a good basketball player because he is not tall and big.

Comparing a s2000 to say, a STi, is like comparing Chris Paul to Shaq.

Each car has its own style that either pleases the owner or enrages him/her enough to let the car go. I'd prefer sticking with the S.

BULL!!!!! I'll take Chris Paul over Shaq right now. Shaq don't have the handle nor the speed like Paul's does. The STI can spank the S in just about anything. Shaq can't beat Paul up and down the court.

Your comparison make no sense.

He didn't say whether the S2K is Chris Paul or Shaq. Do you even read these posts or just look for key words and make assumptions out of them?

^^^
You're reading this and you can't guess if CP3 is the S2k or STI?

I can make the case that CP3 is better than Shaq right now. However, I can't say the same for the S2k when comparing it to the STI in performance and or overall.
