I'm not exactly sure the s2k is a chick magnet. Its a small Japanese convertible, kinda like a Miata or Del Sol with a bit more engine power. Seems kinda fruity. Which is why I'm somewhat puzzled by the superior attitudes of the s2k owners over at s2ki (which I read frequently). Nonetheless I still wanna get one...(recall my thread about my helmet purchase a few weeks ago).

Faster is a subjective term... i think anyone who takes an S2k dragging and complains about how slow it is an idiot.

Yeah, plus the S2K won't have that mid-race phonecall from your wife wondering when you're going to bring back the car because she needs to go shopping.

And it still has more area under its hp curve than your Buick.

I guess you haven't seen a Grand National?

GNs are some bad muthas! Too bad they're ooglay as all hell. Oh well, doesn't much matter what your car looks like if you can beat anything else on the road

I don't think they are bad looking, but that might have something to do with the fact that I grew up near a Monte Carlo SS (My uncle had one). Around my area, I have seen 3 Grand Nationals, and know where one is parked.

Not bad for a 2.2 liter NA engine.

Yeah, I would prefer a 650 bhp 6 liter V-12, but 200+ bhp from a 2.2 liter NA engine is not bad at all.

Don't forget the carbon fiber tail lights for reduced weight and decreased drag coefficient
