drive an S/C S2000 and tell me if YOU feel the same about an S2000 after that....
an extra 100 HP to the wheels changes the complexion of a car...if you know what i mean.

So, i test drove a Cayman S from Pfaff last week and wow, i was quite impressed.
-Love the sound of the engine and also hearing it from behind by back.
-Love the handling, easily outhandles a S2k
-Love the smooth power delivery and had a high fun factor
-Love the looks of it. It has a hint of the Carrera GT from the rear, beautiful!
-Love the porsche feel.
-Love the feedback from the steering. easily the best steering of any car i ahve driven.
-Hate the list of options they have for it. There's a ton of options and big $$ and they make you pay for each and every one of them!
Overall, great car for twice the money of the s2k.
I"m thinking of buying it...

Dude, i thought you were "over" your old Honda?

a supercharged S2000 stands on its own merit.
when i "lean" on my car, it's pretty fvcking fast....that cannot be disputed. the handling and balance remain stellar....so what's the downside? only power delivery......v-tec engagement will fvck you up mid-corner or on double apexes on a track.
there is no downside on the street.
(cayman 295 crank HP compared to S/C S2000 295 wheel HP)

so if you drove your SC'd s2000 at Mosport for 2 hot laps, and you then drove a Cayman at Mosport for 2 hot laps, and you drove a boxster S for 2 hot laps, which car would allow you to produce the fastest lap time ?
of course factoring the cayman would be as Nabeel's test driven one.. just curious to know your perception or is it simply a case of comparing apples and oranges

The one that you're least afraid of crashing.
i have a lot of fun in my car knowing it ain't gonna cost me any more than 40K to replace it - new. and in a way, that's why it's physical condition is irrelevant to me...it's a cheap 40K car....not a 100K NSX. and i treat it as such....
nabeel knows, if you get scared at mosport, or it spooks you because you have a "moment" you might as well park it for the rest of the day...cuz all you'll be doing is tippy-toeing around the track from that point on.
