I respect anything trapping over 100, but don’t consider it FAST until 110-115.

It’s personal opinion but for me, about 120MPH starts to get “fast”. I think 130MPH starts to seperate you when you are talking about street cars. But, again, it’s relative. Around here, that’s slow. In Albany, that’s very rare import wise at least.

But, s2000 as fast or quick in stock or near stock form? No.

I don’t live near Albany so I probably missed it. 🙂

To be honest, aside from my Ford Explorer, this thing is absolutely rock solid. Very impressive build quality for the money and not one issue at all. The car has like 2 or 3 scratches on the entire car. It’s mint.

The downside is the motor’s MPG sucks.

I never said you couldn’t bash the 240?  
Are you calling me a ‘dickweed’ because I was only praising the S2000?  
Are you the one I beat on a ‘track’ last year with my stock G35 (from a dig, and from a roll) when you had several mods on your RX8? If so, you drive like shit.

So how about the comparison of Ultimate car of the 90’s VS ultimate car of the 00’s, without hitting supercar territory.

the inflation rate from 1995-2005 was .31 to the dollar…so something that cost you $1 in '95 would cost you $1.31 in '05 ( i used 95 and 05 because there in the middle of each decade and most models were at there best)

```
 (90's dealer price) X 1.31 = price a decade later

```

lets start this bitchhh:  
300zx twin turbo ($39,080.00) X 1.31 = $51194.80  
hp: 300  
tq: 283  
curb weight: 3219  
0-60: 5.2

350z $36,100  
hp: 287  
tq:274  
curb weight: 3225  
0-60: 5.8
