New S2000
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-st...-a6776301.html
After hours upon hours playing Gran Turismo through my teenage years, the S2000 and Mazda RX7 hold a very close place to my heart (along with the E46 M3 CSL). This new car looks incredible. I'm still a few years away from justifying a weekend car by which point the old S2000's may be hard to come by - I'd absolutely jump in one of these! What do people think of this? Sticking to Z4's? |

It's a bit civic type r in its styling, boy racer sports car look?
The s2000 was quite classy in its day I thought, looks a bit chavvy now.

As long as you can have all the bang of the r with none if the styling then that would be my preference

Looks nice to me. Unlike the type r which I seen the other day. Hideous and only 5.7 to 60 a 328i may beat it in a straight line, how things have moved on. In that it's all mouth and no trousers IMO

The new NSX looks OK but reviews have been average. I like the move back to some performance models. Need some competition in the punchy saloon space! |

Always going to be restricted in the 0-62 dash being FWD and manual, but it is quick 12.5 to 100, about 7 secs 60-100 . The 0-100 time is about 2 secs quicker than the 328i. So rolling performance would be very punchy. But agree looks absolute shite!

Totally agree, on its own removing the air box lid sounded great but the heat soak was a big problem, still sounded good tho! But you couldn't beat a proper induction kit developed for it. Man it was such a great 2 seater, a proper sports car compared to the gay mx5 (still a great handling car but not enough power and too girly styling)
