I rememember one time I was driving my car maybe 90mph going west on I90 near Seattle (just east of Seattle), and my buddies passed me @:
996TT: 189 (pinned top speed)
SL65 AMG: faster than 189 (he didnt read the Speedo but was pulling a little on the 996)
Lets just say, I felt like a tree would when you pass them at 90...

FearlessFife, ever take the dogs for a ride?
I used to have a Maxima SE and the dog loved stading on the console and sticking his head out of the moonroof. He is SO uncomforatble in the S. He is a black lab/rockweiler mix is why I ask.

Only the littler one though. All you have to do is cover the seat with a blanket or sheet and she will just sit there with her head out the window (top down), and she loves it. The big one, she loves to be on my lap when I take her places, so it does not work so well in the S2000 for her to ride along.
My smaller Lab, she loves the S!!!

I've done 125mph 100+ times cornering at WOT (and have even been drifting a few times) at turn 1 of Pacific Raceways. Plus another 1000+ times of 120+ with my miata.
Have done 1st/2nd/3rd almost-redline shifts on an F360 F1. I'm not impressed by the pedal shifter at all. I've seen some faster S2k shifters here. Also, hard to get standing-start smooth. Many times it shifts like someone is trying to learn stick-shift.

I've been 75-80 in the Ferrari 360 in my sig, but I was so stoked just to be behind the wheel that it didn't matter how fast I was going. And the paddle shift is perfect in that car for all doubters!

Talking about pics, how about video? 
0-200kph and then 210-217kph. Took long long long time from 210 to 217kph from the 1.6 N/A no more than 130rwhp at the time. Flat road no cheat.
