Let's try to leave price out of it -- it just turns into a pissing contest (Miata vs. S2000 arguments come to mind). Yes, it's a factor when you decide which car to buy, but we're talking about Street Encounters here. No one has window stickers on the street. The S2000 is an excellent value, as are many other cars, but I don't think that's the topic at hand.
some very good points to be noted

You said exactly what I wanted to say. I love it when you speak the truth and silence all other noises in the background. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Something tells me the BMW guys decided to come over here and troll for a bit.

Any of you BMW guys live in SD? I'd love to run the back roads with ya.

How long have you been a S2K member? 67 days? Please look at mine. While you are at it, read my previous posts before jumping to conclusion.
If you have been here long enough, you would have realized that meaningless comment like yours isn't appreciated.
Too bad you are far away, cause I would love to run yours. If you aren't packing SC or Turbo, forgettabouit.

Touchy Touchy! Have another cup of cofee and a smoke man, yer still a bit grumpy.

If they had a tongue-in-cheek smilie, I woulda put it in to help you, I took it for granted that it may have been figured out anyway.

As far as SC or Turbo goes, don't need it. On the roads I was talking about, the most important ingredient to showing well is...

68 days.

I refrain from commenting on that, btw. Too easy to call out potential personality traits that are revealed by claiming tenure is related to validity.

Don't do it cat, too easy man, too easy...

I was going to say something about that too. Granted I haven't owned anything like the S before (65 GTO, 240z, Mustang GT), but the only thing I've ever driven that had lower COG and Body Roll was a go-kart.
