If all cars are stock and the S 2000 is driven properly, it should win all with the MR2 T being the closest race.

Which year MR2 Turbo? If you are talking a new MR2 Spyder with an aftermarket Turbo, the Spyder should be faster, but the engine is likely to blow at any time so you may leave behind a pile of shrapnel...

Otherwise I agree with the above assessments.

I believe a certain magazine did a comparison between a boxster, z3 and slk. The S2000 came out in top.

NOt sure exactly which SLK and Z3 but the Boxster was the regular 210 (215?) HP version.

Yes, the comparison was between the S 2000, SLK 320 (with AMG sports package), Boxter, and M Roadster (240HP) and our car ranked first all around.

Here is the link to the review on Edmunds that ranks the S2k, SLK, Boxster, Z3, and the Audi TT. The S2k came in first in the comparison.

0-60 : 7.2sec
1/4 mile : 15.4sec

This is at 3700ft elevation, I dunno how to convert it back to sea level. The S2K is a faster car (I used to own one) only if driven properly. My SLK 320 still catches some S2K owners off guard, the ones that don't cruise at 6000rpm
