See Lloyd, it just goes to show that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Get another S you know it makes sense

Why?

The stopping ability of the S is incredible... okay the brakes do fade after a few laps on a track... but for road use they are simply stunning.

You don't need red calipers and a brembo sticker to stop quickly you know!

Nick, I thought EXACTLY the same when I read that bit.

A few weeks ago after a CG geo tweak, Chris ran the car up and did a full power stop from 70mph on good surface. I have NEVER seen a car pull up so quick, even kept it off the ABS. In fact a lot of bikes would struggle to come down that fast and I do speak from experience. The pull up was noticably better after geo alignment.

Bikes are crap at braking

I agree though, I find the S's brakes very very good

Not decided what my plan is yet, but if I get on ok running just the S2000 and ATR this winter I may decide to buy a newer S2k and keep with 2 cars rather than 3. We'll see how I feel in March.
