Nope, there is nothing wrong with mine, the big controls are on the left side, the small ones on the right. But if I turn the car in the other direction, I guess you're right. Maybe I have a perfect one! As a matter of fact I don't have the 1-2 grind on my model, either!

dbw, there is no way that the S2000 could beat the f-body to the ground! The S2000 must have had a jump at the beginning!
9.8m/sec? You might want to hook a Gtech to the dash to test that acceleration... especially if that f-body has/had ram air.
Anyway, I am sure that even if "your" S2000 beat an f-body, it did not offer as much protection as the f-body did. It was probably snoozing at the line when the light went off.
HA! Big 'Ol 'Merican muscle rules!
