Driving a S2000 is as close to riding a bike on 4 wheels as you can get.

no power on the bottom, but just SCREAMS in the upper RPMS

Ever been in an STi? When you hit 4K you get blasted back into the seat..
My buddy at work has one, he says its faster than the S2000 he used to have.

That's what i'm saying... drove an 06 S2000 and you had nothing till about 5K.

Yeah, thats why i love my car so much, the powerband reminds me exactly of a bike.. although I must say the car has some decent pull above 4k.. Once you hit vtec at 6k.. Thats when you really hear the engine sing.

I manage to get about 24mpg with bringing the tach to 9k often.. Not bad imo

I don't.. For some reason the constant pull of an engine with a lot of torque.. feels fast, but not as much fun as the engine with peaky power.. Something about it just makes it more fun to drive..

What kind of car is that? It looks to me like the Porsche is going a lot faster and that is why it is sliding.
