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

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

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
