Man, I would love to live in a universe where a thousand RPMs could account for three full seconds in a 0-60 time.

I drove a friends Xterra one night and even that was cramped for me. I've also felt uncomfortable in a Mustang, Focus, Suzuki Esteem, Cavalier (all rentals on business) I'm 6'3" so I'm not exceptionally tall yet there are so many cars I could never comfortably drive, it's a pity.

CSVT are not much better. But I still can't figure out why Honda c  ouldn't have made thier drive train stronger. I have see people run 15's to 13.9 on a stock S2000. So go figure....

Yeah S2000's are only fast if you know how to drive them (hard). I had one playing with me the other day, and I smoked him from a slow rolling start, I was telling my passenger the whole time that that guy has to keep the rev's up and shift hard or he is in for a whoopin :-) Silly honda...

2000 Honda S2000 0-60: 5.2s 1/4: 13.8s @ 100 mph
You're gonna REALLY have to step up the Contour.. David Z's 280hp beast is only putting down a 14.08s 1/4, and I haven't seen any S/C ones in the 13s yet.
Too bad the car's so damn small, if you're over 6ft tall, it's just too tight.What were those numbers again?? 0-60 in 5.2 and the 1/4 in 13.8?? LMAO for comparison the 2001 ZO6 with 385 HP runs the 1/4 in 13.0(Claimed by chevy of course) and it weighs in at 3200lbs. Sorry but I don't believe the S2000 is running that fast in stock showroom condition. BTW Honda is claiming 0-60 in just under 6 sec, Big difference from 5.2 to 6 sec
