They're gutless off the line in city traffic, too. The AP2 is a little better, but the point of comparison is so low.

Definitely feels more racecary, though, and honestly...that does count for something sometimes. Especially when you don't have a broken race car at home.

It's all relative. If you're used to torquey engines, the S2000 is going to feel nut-less.

Still, it does take some adjustment getting used to the short gearing. But the gearbox is such a joy to operate, and the engine revs so freely, that I never tired of it.

Different, but with $15k for a roadster, I'd consider this.
Wow! Yeah, that looks pretty good!

I looked at those for a while, but back seat is too small, and they are too heavy. I rather stick to a miata.

I patted myself on the back for not even trying this time Plus I don't think you'd want a $15k version of one (maybe a 128).

The intended users of those backseats did not care for them. And yeah, at this point, the new budget rules them out.

Two 993 C4S's in a week. The white one went for 80K with twice the miles.

What will the black one go for?
