    id say cars that compete with the s2k are:Miata,Z4,SLK,Boxter,Sky,Solstice,Elise....then guess u could throw in cars like the 350Z and RX-8....id take the RX-8 over a S2k anyday,and id deff take a MX-5 over the s2k.....i still think the Miata is the standard for the roadster market,and i think they still do it the best

    How can you say the S2000 is better?! It doesnt make more power, its not awd, it doesnt handle better, etc etc etc
    Its road racing, power isnt everything. AWD is a preference not a necessity. I wander why all the JGTCC cars that were AWD are no longer AWD???? It certainly isnt because of the rules. Its certainly isnt doesnt handle worse than a STI, the STI only shines on tracks where its power can be displayed.
    You say you challenge anyone in atlanta with a s2k to race ballers wife in a stock STI, what does that say.... It says to me that the AWD and more power just make it easier for anyone to "go fast", not saying she cannot drive b/c I personally know nothing about her.
    In the "Micro Compact" series the Honda Jazz is the fastest car in the class, it has the least amount of power out of every car it races against and it completely owns ass. WHY? Its out handles everything and weighs less. Its corner speed ownes kills its competition.

    The top 10 fastest cars on Tsukuba are all RWD cars, Go figure... (remember these are stock cars now)
    There is no AWD car on the ranks at Nordschleife until 28th position.

    Hell the NSX-R comes before the STI on this track and it has all the things you stated before, inferior 2wd, less power than the STI, poor honda R&D. But it costs more than the STI as well.......
    Really, Im done this time.

    The fastest car at Tsukuba is the HKS EVO

    Ive asked some people that actually DRIVE on track (siegel, baller, dan, valle,etc)

    all of them say without question that STI is 10 times faster than an s2000 on track, whether its Road Atlanta or Lil Talledega. How many S2000s were on One Lap? ZERO

    The S2000 is nowhere near the track car an STI is. Those that think it is are sadly mistaken.

    We can quote German and Japanese track times all day, but in the end, it doesnt matter because i dont buy cars (neither does the rest of the general public) based on what some Japanese driver does one time at one track in the world

    Any change in racing is because of the rules...The fastsest car around Tsukuba last time I checked was an EVO...

    I'll match Mikes $100 dollars if anyone in a bone stock S2000 can match my time at any Race Track in the southeast...in my wifes bone stock STI.

    I like the S2000 but lets not get things twisted....its just not that great a car, it is to heavy for the power it makes.

    Hmmm... GTR is 5, 997 turbo is 7, Veyron at 8th, and Murcielago at 12th for production cars.

    Care to elaborate?
