Default S2000 is ranked last out of 5 sports cars tested

In the May 2003 issue of Smart Money Magazine, the S2000 was ranked last out of the five cars tested.

1st place - Audi TT Coupe Quattro - 5 stars
2nd place - Nissan 350Z Touring - 4 stars
3rd place - BMW Z4 3.0i - 4 stars
4th place - Infiniti G35 Coupe - 3 stars
5th place - S2000 - 2 stars

If you have a chance to look at the article, it's worth a laugh. I think it goes to show that the S2000 is definitely in a class by itself. You either love it for what it is, a pure classic roadster, or you hate it.

Funny thing is, my list would be in the same order, only backwards.

Audi TT is slow. The 350Z is the same as the G35 Coupe, and I don't understand why they'd compare them together. The 350Z is nice, but it reminds me of a chunky girl with a big ass. The Z4 is also slow and "an ugly landshark" as stated above. The S2000 RULES! DAMMIT!

Ranking the coupes together with droptops doesn't say much about the magazine and nor does it's name. You migh as well have Martha Stewart Living rank em as well.
