We haven't raced each other yet. She is an excellent driver, even though I tease her unmercifully. She and I are participating in the Skip Barber schools in December. If she completes the school, she gets a supercharger. Then, only God can help you people who drive the Greenway to work in Orlando. If you see a yellow flash, it will be her She loves to drive the NSX, but when she gets back in the S2K, she complains it is underpowered (compared to the NSX). The S2K is a great vehicle to go for a spirited drive. Both of us find ourself driving 20 miles away to go get gas, driving to the farthest grocery store, driving anywhere just as an excuse to run with the topdown.

Btw, there's a new one for sale for like $4300 in the GB forum.
97 and up NSXs with 290 HP run low 13s. THAT'S why, hehe.

Also, my friend with a 95 nsx "supposedly" always beats his friends S2k, ask SteveUCI on that one, hehe. I'm just saying what the NSX guy said, I'm neutral on this one, heh.

dHoward, I met you the other weekend at Sangria's when the NSX club was up at the AMS trackday. I see that the (minor) problem you had with your "S" after the event didn't make you gun shy. I missed meeting your husband but I'm sure I'll shake his hand next time our two clubs get together.

As a matter of fact I just saw Mike, Mark, and Maria this afternoon at Road Atlanta. Another fun day.

Let us know when the supercharger is installed. Let me be the first guy from Atlanta to say, "I want a ride!"

BTW, I loved the post above, wish I could get my wife to even help dry the car after I wash it .

S2K Dude-
You can have a ride anytime! After the "minor" incident, my car is driving great!
Seems I'll have to wait 'til Christmas for my supercharger
Oh well, it will be worth it
Maybe, I'll get my exhaust soon.
Tell Mark & Maria "hi" for me. They were great when I flew back up to get my car.
