seiously, best thing you can do is to buy the truck, and keep the S.

take the engine out of the truck, put it in the S and light the truck on fire. Get the insurance to pay for it and then you will have a S2000 that can beat anyone.

Interesting idea Dre...
See that's the main thing that surprised me Saki, I did do a lil' canyon carving with this thing while I had it... Now of course this isn't a sports car with a low center of gravity and it does weigh roughly 5,000 lbs. and this was just a mildly twisty road locally, but it did far better than I anticipated...

See this truck has a whole different suspension setup with bilstein shocks, beefier sway bars, and has been lowered from the factory 1" in front and 2" in back with 22" wheels and 325 rear tires I believe... Don't know all the specs of it down to the nuts and bolts, but this isn't your normal Dodge Ram set-up under there...
It would surprise all of you... Plus any mis-cues you do make or have to take a curve(s) slower than a sports car, the hp/trq #'s would make up for that very quickly in the straights...

Nah no defientcies(sp?) here bro, I'm young and hung ... This truck is just on a whole new, kick-ass level...

if you want it, get it.

It will never be able to keep up with your S in anything but a straight line, don't kid yourself unless you just happen to be a terrible driver. The truck is pricey, drinks gas, can't do anything well but go in a straight line and there are plenty of other vehicles out there that can beat it doing that and can take corners. Tires and other maint. are gonna be a killer.

Hi Brandon! Thats funny that we were just talking about this truck when we visited the ferrari dealer. I think you are excited about the truck. Get it. I feel like getting older = less new things to experience and get excited about.

I was thinking about what I would get if I had a little more disposable income. American cars are only good in a straight line because in America, roads are in a straight line. If you think you will enjoy snapping your neck in that truck, get it. There is more than just straight acceleration to enjoy: the brakes are the best, you are a truck man, it can carry stuff, its newer, you will have the fastest vehicle + the biggest truck in town!
