The title of the thread is a little misleading and that is about it. I thought the article decent. Back when Enzo started, rear engine cars weren't around in the Grand Prix sense, which is a little misleading...

Don't know why people are all over someone who contributed a good article to this forum.

B/c the S is nothing compared to it. Dont post stupid crap like this to boost your ego, its only a Honda.
I have actually driven a Porsche.
My little Honda walked away from a Carrera 4.
The Porsche owner (see someone that actually owns one, not just fantasizes) was very nice and complimented the S and vice versa.

But you're obviously the expert.

i too have driven a couple modern porsches including the cayman s and while im sure they are faster on a track, it is not nearly as much fun. why would u pay so much more for less fun? status?

I think is was a very favorable S2000 article.

However, I didn't understand the part about those "2 cupholders" getting in the way of one's shifting arm. As far as I know, the "cupholder" is a divider in the center console and doesn't get in the way if there are no drinks being held.

Perhaps the author was driving around during the test with 2 giant slurpies.

Where did I say I was the expert?

BTW, Do I look like I give a crap that you "walked away" from a Carrera 4? Stock for stock the Porsche is faster so why should I believe you? If your car is modified then it is an unfair comparison. Do you have any video footage?

SHame on you

The OP wasn't doing anything wrong; just giving out articles that people can choose to ignore or read. If you don't have anything constructive to say, STFU.
I own an S2000 because it is a great car. Nowhere did I ever say it wasnt. But I have the intelligence to know its not the greatest nor fastest car in the world like most owners on this forum are delusional enough to believe. Can you understand that?
