Not for much, but that Pilot in smash the pedal mode, isn't too far behind a well driven S to 60 mph.

My S2000 is a slug here at 5,280 feet of elevation. It's still fun in turns but takes some high and well planned revs to climb.

Yeah 0-60 times on the S vary on how badly you want to abuse your clutch.

I heard that they had gone out of business and the whole set up had sold off for like $50.

Same thing for me. All of my friends had slot cars and would ride our bikes out to the base hobby shop to race. (North Island Naval Base, Coronado) I even made my own brushes for the car instead of paying so much, for me at the time, for ready made ones.

Cosmo,

Ever rewind the motor's coil. I remember using silver wire and foamy tires were the cat's meow.
