If the S2000 were an animal...
This got me thinking about my Kenpo Martial Arts classes. See there are five principle animals integrated into the philosophy of Kenpo. In order of advancement from least-to-most:
- Tiger. Power, linear movement, aggressiveness. = forward attacks.
- Crane. Balance, passiveness, but still quick to strike on the defense. = balancing techniques, and quick defensive snaps.
- Dragon. Very fluid, adaptable to nearly any situation. Wise yet zealous. = countermoves, arm wraps, around-the-body footwork.
- Leopard.Speed, cunning, planning. = will move back after an attack, versus tiger which is all about forward motion. Quick moves, retreats, and counterattacks.
- Snake. Emotionless, intense, versatile, focused, precise. = No body parts so it must be fast and creative.
Opposed to the other animals, it displays no emotion. You cannot tell what's coming.
When attacked it can move out of the way even in an unorthodox manner, and then return quickly and very painfully, even if not with great physical force.
Now, granted, there are many more animals to choose from. However, since this is such a cool question and the Kenpo animal philosophy is fresh in my brain from a lesson last week, I just had to bring that up.
Which do I think the S2k is most akin to?
I'd say leopard, most likely. Then again, I haven't driven one. Yet.

lvs2k - I'll take the comparison to 9000REVS as a compliment (I am choosing to ignore the eye rolls) 
Siper2 - THAT'S THE SPIRIT! The Kenpo system seems very interesting - I reserve the right to change my answer....
How about a gazelle - quick, but not a brute (maybe that would be a Miata, nevermind)...a hawk? shark? dolphin?
Can people tell i'm trying to avoid homework

I would definitly have to say cheeta! You ever seen a cheeta hunt down a gazel(boxter). Flat out blast dodging side to side. Talk about nimble any little slip and its over but there is none!
