Default Raced an S2000 up winding road

Was a blast. He was on me in the corners and I pulled away on the straights.

those s2k's are lookers for sure, and with the right exhaust system (invidia) they sound amazing.

Their biggest problem is a narrow power band. You are always shifting gears otherwise the car is a total slug. Not surprising the STR would walk away from it though. Even though on paper the cars should have the same accelaration in the real world the STR is much faster due to its much wider power band.
