ya, sounds like he said something else with little or no info to back it up
That's not what I was implying at all.

SO i saw this thread before I went to sleep the other day...and I was like ohhh boy, can of worms.
I was right!
but anyway, Glad you love your new car man, I'd love to drive a NC ...but honestly I love the look of a s2k better. If i had to pick a miata, I'd pick the NB, roll cage, coilovers, rims. teh sexy.

I can't addresss your insecurities around what kind of car you drive (I'm old enough, and married, so I couldn't care less), but the acceleration difference is a lot smaller than you might think.

^One thing abt torisonal rigidity...I have NO numbers to back this up, but with a slight drop on coilovers on my AP1, with NO aftermarket body bracing whatsoever, my car will lift one wheel when I go over certain curbs...no other STOCK car I have ever seen will do this. The only one i've seen doing this (same curb) was a neon SRT-4 that was caged, slight drop, idk what else...

Apparently it is closer to 7,000. I'd love to know how this is actually measured.

I'm old and married too and my 3rd S2000. Most of my friends when they are trying to insult me call my S2000 a Miata on purpose. I'm not insecure... I usually laugh them off because... well... its not a Miata and thank God for that.

Yeah, one of the places I found that someone else mentioned that too [i.e., the low S2K number] - they also mentioned what EG did about factoring in weight (someone had taken several dozen of these and done the math).
