Everyone reading this agrees the s2000 has a highly rigid chassis, lets narrow it down to exact numbers and compare to other sports car.

Elise 11000 Nm/degree
z3 coupe 16400
z3 5600
z4 14600
911 c 16500
TT 19000

TTR 10000
Boxster 10000



Anyone knows about S2k? or other cars?
Correct me if my data is wrong.

That looks about right to me. I remember seeing those figures for the Porsches somewhere else.

I find it very interesting to see the difference in stiffness between the Z3 and Z3 Coupe!!

I believe Z4 is stiffer than s2000.

How is torsional stiffness measured? What about lateral rigidity?

Cany anybody provide the data for the S (and be certain it is correct)?

This would be interesting data to know.

Maybe our S is about the same as Boxster?
