correct.....

keep in mind they were producing 100x times the number of S2000's.

also, the motor choices were radically different - in the mustang you got a 2.4L 4-cyl or a 5.0 8-cyl.

i think the GM cars were 2.8-3.0 V6's and then you jumped to 5.0 and 5.7 litre monsters.

you were already pre-disposed to the motor choice before you walked in the door - it defined the car you were getting/shopping for.

maybe 1% (if that) of the buying public was ever up-sold on the motor.

Maybe that led to the death of the camero/firebird - too many configurations?

The many configs probably did not help the saturation issue...

does anyone offer gears anymore?
Yup, Nissan.

I specifically ordered my Titan with the Big Tow Package so I could get the lower geared diff...

The packages are the killer, you want one thing, but have to take 5 others...

It really is funny, around here when I see another S2000 I usually know the driver... They really are not common at all here, my neighbor still thinks it is an exotic ultra low production sort of experimental Honda race car... Who am I to argue?
