well it's not that i'm saying that it can't handle well, it's jus that the s2k handles better, it's a logical fact, it's lighter, has a 50/50 weight disribution, and there are measured numbers that show that it can hold upwards of .9 g's on a 20ft skidpad versues the gto's mid .8 scores

:edit:
he is looking for a mustang cobra... no doubts about it

 

And compared to its European and Japanese rivals, the GTO fulfills it. Ever driven one? Feels like my Accord with stiffer springs and struts.

 

I've driven multiple ones. They are by far the best GM I've driven with the exception of C6 and C5 Z06's (never drove a normal C5, but have driven numerous f-bodies, CTS-V, etc). They are stiff, but unlike most GMs they actually feel composed. I personally like the GTO and would seriously consider one if I didn't want a roadster instead.

The GTO is certainly not a sports car, but it's a pretty nice sporty GT car.

If it wasn't for the interior build quality I wouldn't even consider any european rival over a GTO, probably no japanese rival either. Of course, I don't consider the S2K and GTO to be "rivals" either.

 

it still amazes me that no one is taking into consideration that the S2k is an engineering feat. it's an amazing machine in itself, sure your friends GTO is "cool" but it is a far strech from the refinement of S2000 mechanically. with either the f20c or the f22c it's a fine car, many car companies try to make a convertible that can handle as well as the s2000. it's the car to beat in it's segment

 

Wear do you guys find those OEM front lips? I like the clean look but having trouble finding one

 

Want one?

WOW i didnt know that it was bad on the transmission to shift gears like that. The gears are so short and you have to row through them so much that i just skip some, I will definitly stop skip shifting from now on.

at 7 or 8 psi on a supercharger I would think that it would be able to pull at least a high 12. i have raced three trans ams all late 90's or 2000's, one had 500 mods and i didnt know it so of course he walked me really bad, but the other two were pretty much stock with like intake and exhaust. From a punch one pulled me by like 2 cars and stay there until he let off, and with the other one we ran side by side, they run mid to low 13's stock. Of course i didnt want to run from a dead stop so they let me pick what speed i wanted to go from, but i think with the added help of a supercharger getting you off the line, it would make more of a diffrence than if you didnt need help off the line already. Whats so great about trap speed anyway, i dont really watch any type of racing other than catching the last few laps of nascar every once in a while, i dont really see the benifit of a high trap speed as long as your times are low.

Who has topped out there s2k? any idea top speed? mine is completely stock and i had mine to 142 with the top down and it wouldnt go any faster. I pulled over and put the top up and did 157 before i had to shut it down but it was still climbing. I didnt know that GTP's and pre 99 mustangs(havent raced any newer ones) were so slow i raced two with alot of mods and they were just barely keeping up

 

IMO gto>s2k ilovethatv8sound

get a gto an s/c it.. then youll smoke your buddy
