T-uk reckons I'd have my work cut out with you at Crail Kenny. I think he may be right, mine is full of silly heavy extras.
My best time was better than the best time of an e46 M3 that was there on the day and in general out times were similar. Gutted I never actually got to run against him. The M3 tends to trap a few mph higher though which in itself tells its own story. I think if you use the most aggressive launch mode (i.e. the one BMW take a dim view of) I'd have no chance but other than that its going to be very close crossing the line and after that the M3 will motor.

Interestingly as you know the M3 has always been a 'must have' car for me since it first came out but the fact my S2000 is only a little slower than one I doubt I could ever justify it to myself. I think if I was going for an M car I'd probably take the outgoing M5 over the M3 on the assumption the M5 would be faster from 60-upwards (an assumption I've yet to substantiate)

Are you a chav? Y= Keep the scoob. N=Buy the Honda.



Seriously though, the price for the S2k doesn't seem OTT. I would like to think my 02 with 27k on it was worth about 16 still (maybe a bit high )
Just don't know how good the Scoob price is... but it does seem a little low at 12k...
As long as you fit, can turn the wheel without your knees being in the way and don't need 4 seats, in my opinion it's a no brainer.

It isn't faster Kenny, I looked at that before buying

You and T-uk would toast me in anything I think

Looking around at s2k prices it does seem fair, as for the scoob looking on autotrader they do seem to be around 12-13k for similar spec, even though, as we all do i have thrown some extras on it (i.e. oz wheels, spoiler,suspension, brakes).

The thing is some months ago i had a bad couple of weeks where i had a few arsewipes trying to race me, cut me up, slam on brakes etc. when all i wanted to do was cruise to work & on one occasion i lost it & was lucky not to end up nicked or dead. Since then i have not been able to relax & enjoy it as i used to. I therefore thought an s2k would still be enjoyable but not scream out to the young ***** as a scoob seems to do.

Boy racers dont give it much attention at all, some of the Honda ones give you the thumbs up, and ive only ever had praise from other motorists.
