Default got a s2000 today

Was coming back from meeting up with a couple people from the forum and was getting on the freeway where two lanes become one in aprox 1/8 of a mile. to my right there was a s2000. I seen him start to creep up so I gunned it and so did he. End results. he was behind me in a nice cloud of diesel death and when we got on the freeway I let him pass me, got the thumbs up from his passenger. To me that shows class.

Actually, if you can launch them properly, they're pretty quick from a dig due to their light weight and low gearing. They're fun as hell to drive, too. If only they had a slightly more powerful, way torquier small V6, that car would be t!t$......

yeah..a friend of mine has one, and from a dig, my lowly stratus would get a jump, and he would quickly reel me in and walk away...i was hoping to run him in the laserat some point, but he lives in PA still...

yeah...turbo awd 5 speed, pretty much stock...full exhaust, no cat, Balance shafts removed. it ran a 9.26 8th mile...the rear brakes were hanging, and it has a slight boost leak that is causing it to be too rich, but thats better than too lean, and its cold out...

i think that i could do a little better, but im in no hurry to break this car, and it is older and much of it is original...
