What car did you get after the S2000?

Jamie, I'm looking forward to seeing how your 996 compares to my Z4M in a straight line if we get the chance?

Rolling start from say, 20mph in 2nd gear.

I must be one of the few people who traded down (due to wanting to free up some capital).
I needed something economical and practical, so I bought a 3.0 V6 Alfa Romeo GTV No posing photos as I haven't polished it yet
While the S2000 was better in most respects, the Alfa has a few good points, chief of which is the largish V6 engine. Quite like the pimp red interior as well.
The next car will most likely be a oil burner - perhaps an Alfa GT, or BMW.

Prob similiar actually, my tyres are on there way out and it may be slippery, I would prefer dry as the weight on the back wheels from the engine gives me lots of grip but lets do it. How though ?
yours is quicker.

The numbers you posted are some of the quickest I've seen for the Z4M Coupe , and some of the slowest for the 996 btw.
Nothing in it in the real world I bet.

Probably equal in a straight run, traction would be an issue for me.
