I'm not suggesting for one minute that the S2k has the taking of a 360 Modena but the test results printed elsewhere reminded me of
the time I came across one on the way back from the Goodwod Festival of Speed.

I came up on the 360 coming up to a roundabout/ traffic circle just before joining the motorway/freeway and remember saying to my passenger "Lets see how well we can keep up with him !"

We tucked in behind, swung round the roundabout,the grip of the S2k really impressed,and the 360 gunned out of it onto the on ramp but we just stuck to it's tail, we were amazed to be keeping up and this carried onto the motorway where he didn't feed in well allowing us to shoot past.

It was a short experience but looking at the 360 driver's face,as we passed him,he wasn't happy. I don't think we'd have done it but for the flow of traffic but given the

One thing to keep in mind: If anything bad ever happens that involves a ferrari, it will be the ferrari's fault. When I own one, I will pick my battles wisely for this exact reason.

If I was in a Ferrari, I'd never race a S2000, what am I going to prove? If I'm faster, duh? I'm supposed to be faster, and If I lose .... Oh the shame!

Draw this analogy to our S2000s and Civics etc.

I passed a new 360 in my ford f150 on I-10. I'm not saying you should always drive like a bat out of hell, but I'll be damned if I ever let a f-150 pass me on the interstate if I owned a 360 and could afford the tickets that come with it. by the way, I was only going like 10 over
