But in the end I still don't care because like you said, some statements are immature and unintelligent. That person making the statement about the engine being in the wrong place doesn't know that in a way, the S2000 is a "mid engine" car because the engine sits between the axles. I think the MR Spyder is an awesome car, I just like the S2000 better and that is why I bought one.

I know and all owners and enthusiasts know the S is a "mid engine" car. I don't see their argument there. The pros in the S outweigh the pros in the MR2. At least we all feel that way

I own one, therefore, anyone who doesn't sucks. Really quite simple, isn't it.


That would about sum up the level of "I beat this car on this road with my car" stuff, wouldn't it? Its just human nature - if you're not like me, I either aspire to be like you, or I despise you. And in many cases, I suspect its both.

[B]The simplest answer for anyone talking shit about other cars vs. their cars is the following:

"Go run Speedventures and show me your lap time"

or, for those focused on drag racing

"show me a time slip"

Any other discussion, be it about how you outran x with y on a backroad, or how you pulled on this guy on the freeway is hearsay.

"Handling in general was better in the Spyder. It handled like a 50k car while the S2K handled like a 32k car."
