Speaking of AMC Gremlin X's, I saw a pristine model parked in front of a home with a carporch in Mid-town Memphis as I drove my niece to her camp and back. Car was very clean and looked like it was driven daily. Also saw an old RX-7 being driven by a senior lady and some old Honda's in pristine shape. Must be nice to live in a rust free location (except for the heat)

My 1st car was a 1964, and I got it in 1976, so it was already 12-years old, and had clearly been a daily driver, but it had not a single spec of rust
The car had come from Arizona, same thing, heat, but no salt
Oh, and there was one funny, the front window was so pitted from sand storms in the winter it was really hard to get the glass clear because the snow and ice would get down into those little pits, visability never came till the glass was warm enough to melt that stuff
Wish I had seen that little Gremlin, hey, where's my pic?

I got no pics. Last thing I wanted was to get pulled over by a cop for using the cellphone while driving a 12 year old around. Of course most people in Memphis and other parts of the South have one hand on the wheel and one to the ear by default

Welcome back Aashish.

Does anyone know with some certainty the turning force (as in # of G's) that the stock S2000 with stock Potenza tires is supposed to be capable of?

Thanks Jeff. It is good to be home.

Unsure of the # of G's the S2000 can pull. Would it also not depend on the layout of the corner? It will be just like driving the MG A if not easier

Motor Trend reports 1.4g on Laguna Seca with a stock AP2. That seems higher than I thought though. I though I'd read 1.04 or something.

I see the SBD badge, the S2K topdown / HT image, the CRX-Si and the smiley alongwith your link to the enlightened force. Seems complete to me.
