S2000s are slow

Post by onelove »

S2000s are slow.

They are nice cars but I have beaten them mercilessly, first in my Firebird and now with my STi.

All that purist crap is the same elitist nonsense you hear Boxster owners spouting when they get trounced by some kid in an SRT-4 or Fox body Mustang.

Purpose built, balanced, experienced driver, blah, blah......blah

Meh.

Buy a car with some balls and you won't have to write revisionist nonsense like this.

it's a niche vehicle: it's very good at it's focused mission. no one auto is expert at everything. why do car owners want to get in a pissing contest over everything? :roll: just get a car you like and drive it. who cares what anybody else thinks about it...

The only cars that might be considered "good" at

Post by onelove »

The only cars that might be considered "good" at everything are BMW M series sedans. They are fast, comfortable, relatively practicle, handle well and are competitive in motorsports.

Unless of course it's raining....

But I digress.

I honestly question the motives of somebody who writes an article like that, out of the blue.

I mean, why denigrate Evos (or any other car) if you have an S2K?

I think this guy truly resents his purpose built sports car getting beat up on by econobox based cars, so he has to craft these specious arguments as to why his Honda is "superior."

It's truly laughable.

I like the whole "relatively practical" part. If you consider the M series, why not the AMG series and audi makes an "S" and "RS" series :wink:

Yeah AMG and Quattro GMBh

Post by onelove »

Yeah AMG and Quattro GMBh are also manufacturers of "do it all" cars.

I'd also add Subaru and Mitsubishi to the list of manufacturers who build practical street cars that are the basis of succesful race cars.

the M car's can't do it all. because, for me, doing it "all" means being able to make the monthly payment. like I said, NO single car is good at everything. engineering an automobile is a series of trade-offs.
