unfortunately this thread will probably be removed.

you can't post scanned pics because technically that is copywright infringement.

 

probably? it will most definitely be removed. at least the pictures.

but thanks for the snips. The S2000 finished nicely.

 

yeah, i read a bit of the pics you had up. actually i think because of that i'm going to go buy this month's mag just for the article.

 

That is correct, posting copyrighted material is not allowed here, although I got to read the article before you removed it. So thank you for posting it, and thank you for removing it

 

my friend is getting a SLK350 with AT.

He's doesn't know a lot about cars. It's a nice car but $45K++? Well I should say he thinks he knows a lot about cars. You know the type. He goes more for image over performance. He'd think the Elise or S2000 is only worth half as much as a SLK b/c the SLK has AT and hardtop and various other gingerbread features.

He's the kind of person who puts down the S2000 like to say it's only got just a 4-cylinder. But he's never even driven one.

I told him if I ever got another vert it'd probably be the BS he's like "it doesn't have a hard-top" he's never driven one.

He says the SLK is just about as powerful as the BS, I said the BS weighs 200 lbs less but that doesn't mean anything to him.

Hey I'm glad the S2000 is still doing so well 5 years without much change.

 

13.9 @ 100mph!

 

911 fanboys will hate this order of finish. Peeps who own 911 say the BS is a 911 wannabe. But unbiased observers say the BS in some ways is the better car.

 

the list sounds about right:
i would rate the Elise before the S2k, nothing else Seemed to matter tho.
