It was pretty cool, already had exhaust and an intake on it. The guy at the lot almost wouldn't let me take it out, so he ended up riding with me. It was funny, I was hauling *** like a **** in this car going threw the gears, when I came into a curve doing about 90mph. Well s2000's like to get loose for some reason and I damn near wrecked the car after I did a nice little power slide followed by making a very nice recovery. The guy nearly crapped his pants, but didn't get mad at me, in fact it kinda got him all pumped up which was even more funny. So I had a blast driving the thing, I was a little dissapointed that it got loose so easy but it was fun. The rx7 could have easily taken that curve at 120mph without getting sideways. Oh and the 9k redline was nice too. Better handling and another 200hp and it would be perfect :bigok:

yeah sport compact said their high speed handling is pretty messed up... some kind of sacrifice for low speed handling... sounds messed up to me. also if im going to be revving anythnig to 9000 rpm's it better be a rotary.. not a vtec

Yeah i'm not planning on buying one, just had nothing better to do. I think the problem was whoever had the car before lowered it, then that somehow messes up the stock suspension setup, at least thats what i've been told. Probably needed to add another suspension part to make up for the springs to make up for the problem. Either way I was very surprised when it started to come around one me, the curve wasn't sharp at all but very gradual, and like i said the rx7 would have done an easy 120 in it.

Speaking of porche I got to experience the new 911 twin turbo my buddy just bought. AWD 425hp....$125k and I think he had to be on some sort of waiting list too. Damn that thing is crazy, he just put exhaust on it, sounds soooo sweet. You can be doing 150mph and not even realize it, guess when your on the autobon thats what its suppose to do. Him and his brother topped it out at about 185mph, speedo goes up to 200mph.
