Who cares? If you still like your S, keep driving it. Since when do you care what others think?

and what if we want to fight against those monsters? is there a chance?
I think it may be disrespectful to get in the way of a faster car, providing the driver behind the wheel of a potentially faster car is competent.

I agree with the comment that people still ask "what kind of car is it" all the time. The S2K is rare enough that it still turns heads. It's a sports car in most people's eyes, and 98% of the people out there can't rattle off stats like 0-60 times and hp/liter output. Of course faster cars will be made... they always have been and always will be. That certainly doesn't make the S2K any less of a good car though. And for the price, it's really hard to beat.
Be happy with your car man.

Once my warranty is out i will put an ls7 in the engine bay, i am surprised it hasn't been done yet.
I have no problem with there being faster cars on the road, i live in west LA where there are more ferraris, porsche's and lambo's than almost anywhere else in the USA. You simply cannot compare an s2k out here, you cannot keep up with the family next door. I plan on keeping he s2k for many years and having it as a second car.
One reason i chose the s2k over cars like the g35 and 350z was that it is unique and rare compared to those previously listed. I see 100 porsche's a day, turbo's etc, but nobody blinks an eye, yet when they see my s2k, they stare. Why? Because it is a stick and most people do not want to drive one here in the traffic.
Having a nice car doesn't matter, having a rare and unique one for me does! The fact that i think it is drop dead gorgeous and a true roadster helps too
!
But to answer your question - in 2007 our car will get its ass kicked on a daily basis in stock form. Why try to keep up with other cars spending $5-10k just to do so. What a waste of money if that's your sole purpose for modifying it. Save the 10k and put it towards a z06 (which is what i intend on doing in 5 years).
