I screwed with a S2000

I was driving tonight at a section of road near my house and a S2000 was in front of he. He took off and he pulled a little till we hit the twisties and the guy couldnt even drive. i would catch him in the turns and then he would pull in the straights. He had the car completely sideways twice, and nether of which were on purpose. it was just some old fart trying to prove he still had it, well he about lost it. If i would have had better tires and a few more hp ( a la pulley) it would have been awesome. thought i would share it.

I had some fun with a s2000 too in Berkeley on Telegraph yesterday. There was traffic, so I couldn't pass him really. But I caught up to all his moves through the traffic. The guy had white hair, so I guess he was driving it conservatively. But he couldn't pull away from me and I followed him tightly.

Same day, I was on highway and ran a little with a Boxter. He had his convertable down, and with a passenger and so did I. There was an A4 behind me too but don't know why he dropped out after 1 min.. Couldn't see him. Basically I would catch up to the Boxter and try to get it to run but it wouldn't. I did it a few times at 85mi/hr, and thought he was a wuss and slowed down. He slowly pulled out like celebrating a victory...

It was fun.

Some folks buy exotic cars don't have the right driving skills to handle a high...

performance car. They can drive fast on straights but cannot handle any turns at all: they must brake first before going into any turns! You will need a C32 motor to compete with the S2000 which I hope MB will import soon.
