No, you want the hardtop to be removable… With no soft top and no hardtop, that’s a substantial weight savings, especially since it is a power top we are talking about. ---

I dont care about top down motoring, if I did, I wouldnt buy something that I intended to track. (Minus a fully caged SM). ---

No, you don’t get it. If this car is intended to be a true club sport car, it is designed for both auto-x and track duty. At an auto-x, being able to remove the soft and hard tops for weight savings is important. It’s going to be at least a 40 lbs savings. ---

You do realize no one markets a car for AutoX right? It’s being marketed as a track car that can be driven home. Hardtop/Coupe \> \* ---

No it was a safe enviornment to get people out to drive Mazda’s and get cheap publicity. That’s the only reason to go out and spend time driving Mazda’s as their whole lineup is garbage. ---

Man, I love the S2000. That car is def. cool, but they could have done more for it, performance-wise, as opposed to mostly asthetics. Either way, it’s still an S2000 and it’s awesome. ---
