Steve C,
Nice collection of toys you have there. I'm surprised that you seem so negative towards the S2000 as far as quality goes, especially since you own a Duc and Land Rover. I had a Duc 916 before my R1 and when one of the fairings ripped off at about 80 mph that was the last straw. Italians sure build pretty stuff but in general they're a POS. I assume you're talking about the new M rcoupe since the 13.1 @ 108 ain't happening with the old one. That's impressive, but that car is considerably more expensive. It's still gone be embarassed by a Z06 Vette for around the same price. There are always going to be better or faster cars, the key is finding one that you're happy with. Most of members of this board love their S2000 as do I and we know it's not the fastest or best handling car in the world. We also know that it's the ONLY car in it's class to be had for around $30K. I personally, was a little dissappointed in the straight line accelaration which is why I had mine turbocharged. Now I have no problem beating the pants off of an M coupe or most other cars for that matter. To each his own.

I am also a car enthusiast who gets a laugh out of all of the car bigots on this board.

Steve C makes me laugh 
Purposely trying to insight a flame war is not permmited. I suggest that if you can't have a civil conversation, or at least back up even a little of what you say, that you find another place to chill.
Do you get what I'm saying?
As for the others Please, if you can just ignore his post.
