I don't doubt F-body's are quick, or at least can be quick given some tuning and a good driver on a ROAD TRACK but to say they can outhandle an S2K is just ignorant.

For the record here is from last falls SCCA T2 runnings quoted from a friend of mine who owns an S2K and competes in SCCA T2:


Does an F-body outhandle an S2K? Or does it just power it's way down the straights, gain some distance only to have the S2K catch it on the turns where it can't pass the slower turn maneuvering F-body? hmmm.
Ok. Maybe i said it wrong. An s2000 can and will outhandle a F body. But handling doesnt mean squat if you get beat on the damn track by one.
