Hi Wickerbill,
Driving at Spa actually was amazing. It was my first time there but as I only live about 1.5 hours away from Spa I will definitely go again, maybe on the last weekend of October.
Eau Rouge is a real experience - if you have the guts to really push your car. Even at the end of the day I had lots of respect for the Eau Rouge and was not going to the limit of the S. But imagine you turn onto the start/finish straight and then shift through the gears - going downhill. At the end of the straight there is an even stronger dip and a left-right combination. Then, you start accelerating again and go uphill. _Really_ uphill, its much steeper than I ever imagined from TV or computer games.
To make it short, it was an absolutely amazing day. I will post a few pics sometime, maybe even a 'report' and/or video.
This makes me sick. To be able to drive on that track would be absolutely amazing. How was Eau Rouge in the S?

Top speed on both the 2000 and 2001 is 164 mph GPS varified. I have done it in both, car is fine little unstability as you go through the 135 mark but nothing unsettling. This is with the top in the full upright position, the fastest I have gotten my car to go, with the top down is 154.
Even on a 6% grade you should be way above 115.

Well, that's a hell of an avatar you picked for not exceeding 69mph/115kph

IMO differentiate 120 and 150.

I agree... sounds like there may be something wrong with your car (ECU maybe?).
Yesterday on the way home from work with the top down, I had issues keeping ahead of a Civic Coupe. We were accelerating from about 70-125mph and I was just barely able to fend him off. Civic could have been mod'ed... It was windy as well... go figure.
