Default Getting tired of my S2000

Owned this car for a year, starting to feel very slow and slugish to me. I dont know if this is just me or not, but i dont get that push u in your seat feeling or anything anymore. Car is starting to rattle and shake more as i go over bumps. IN my Daily commute, I always feel like my alignments off, even after i get an alignment....Someone please cheer me up.

I think your s2000 is broken. Mine doesn't have a roof.

Sell the hardtop. Invest the money in:

-an alignment
-4.77 gears
-a good steak dinner

BAM! Don't you feel better already?

Put a bunch of stickers on it, it'll make you feel like you'd been staple to your seats.

I did sell my Hardtop, i dont own it anymore. The Latch rattle I can understand, I fixed that, but my rear makes clunking noises when i go over bumps. Maybee its my Eibach springs, who knows. It just feels slow now, before Vtec, it feels like my GF's 4cyl Accord taking off. Its just a tad better when it hits Vtec. I almost lost a race to an older model Supra (dont know if it was turbo or not) on the highway. My leather seats are beginning to crack and look ugly, shifter is beginning to feel weird. When i shift to second, it clunks into gear with a little kick.

Just look around sitting at a stoplight or driving around and notice all the looks you get. That makes me feel better. Granted, there aren't aa ton of S2K's in my immediate area, but still.
