woo, I kinda want my 3 min 21 seconds back, minus the 15 seconds where they showed the 1/4 mile run which was actually cool.

oh and just so you dont get pissed, I love F-bodys, and I almost bought a '68 before I bought my mp3.... but ever hear of the ZL1? it was around $50,000 STOCK! but was VERY rare.

I'd love to have a '69 Camaro. Don't get me wrong, I love the Camaro,....at least the old ones. I hate the new ones. They have to be one of the ugliest cars to ever come from GM. And don't even get me started on the bubbly lines of the Firebird. That thing is just hideous. And there are $30,000+ F-Bodies. Only idiots buy them though. And even with the money saved on buying a base Camaro, then spen that money in suspension mods, it still won't touch an S2000 on a track. I'm sorry but it just isn't going to happen. Now if you start saying "stip it down, no interior" etc. Then do the same to the S2000 and the Camaro doesn't stand a chance. A guy on S2KI by the screen name Krazik has lap records to 2 different tracks with his stripped down S2000. The only mods he has are CAI, exhaust, and a few suspension mods. But nothing outrageous. His has better lap times than some Z06's. But he's also running R Compound slicks on all four corners.

To even say that a heavy ass F-Body is in even the same ballpark as an S2000 on a track is just laughable. And it shows your experience with track racing.

And I still like the MP3. It is one of the best handling cars I have ever driven. It even out does the S in some areas. The MP3's precise steering feel is far beyond that of the S2000. Now after the S2000 is lowered with stiffer springs, it's near that same feel of the MP3.

And turbo MP3's kick major ass. But it just needs rods that are stronger than dry strings of spaghetti.

that is good to hear...

s2k are sick, but i need my 4 doors.(outie)
