Alright choochoo train....I am very confused about what you are trying to say.

If you are talking about the 315hp M then hats off to your friend....he SHOULD have won....if he only has the 240 MZ3 then....LOL....he must be a hell of a driver.

Where in the he11 do you get your 95% figures? I guess it would depend where you live? How many S2000's have you raced?....and by the way buddy, your TT does NOT stand a chance against a properly driven S....5% of the time you will get smacked around like a step child and 95%...well, it will be a close match...have you ever taken your car to the track?....Not the drag strip but an actual road coarse?

Nah, the older "240" hp M's are quicker than the S as well, usually a couple cars to 100.

Well it is good to know that my posts are not alone in going WAY off-topic. Though, in defense of going off-topic I did not understand a word (well maybe two or three) that he/she wrote.

Steve....I have raced the older "240" m's and NEVER lost yet....from the launch I fall behind about 1/2 a car but gain it back by 60-80.....from the roll, the S does not forgive and pulls.......

Maybe I am racing the 95% of M's trainman is talking about....

If its driver vs. driver why not get out of the cars and foot race.

Who knows, maybe my M is stonger than others or maybe it's because these races have all been at 5280 feet of elevation.

Coincicentally my M coupe is now in St Louis (for a while) if anyone in the area wants to play. My S2k will be arriving here shortly as well -- well as soon as I feel like driving it the 12 hours from Denver.

Why can't otherwise intelligent people just call it an M roadster? A few of my friends have this problem where they always struggle to say "ZM3, no M3 Z, or is that M Z3?" M roadster or coupe, M3 coupe or convertible, Z3 roadster or coupe. Simple, really. I don't see where the problem is Perhaps BMW would sell more cars if they stopped naming their cars after random letters and numbers:P
