I pulled into the parking lot at my local mosque for the evening prayer and there were a bunch of kids playing around outside and I get out of the S2 and this little indian/pakistani kid (maybe 6 or 7) goes "whoaaaa nice Bugatti dude!"

Day = made. I love it when kids get excited over the S2.

Happens to me every time I go for the Friday prayer. Except they think its a Ferrari lol. Had someone today ask me if my car was a 2013. He was in shock when I told him it was an 04

Yup lol. Trans AM has bigs and skinnys, no sway bars, no power steering, no ABS. You could say it's not quite a handling machine but it is very fast in a straight line.

Lol I'm used to older American vehicles haveing a ton of slop in the steering. What I'm talking about is you can move the steering side to side while driving and the wheels will keep going straight.

I have been s2k shopping and test driving for the last few months (there is one in my near future) and my friends know this..
So I am riding in my C4 Ferrari friends 'adult' car, a Honda accord, along with my Z06 friend, 88 Porche friend and his wife, a very nicely restored 73 Camaro driver .. I point to a GPW s2k and say.. "Thats the car I am looking to buy".. and the C4 guy says.

"Hell.. Thats a 'comb over' car "....

Think it was partial payback for dinging his C4 nose on the curb... (long story, different post)($$$ gonna hurt)

Compared to their cars, the s2000 would be the last one I'd consider a "comb over car".

But, I'd be giving you sh!t too if you ran my C4 into a curb!
