It was honestly amazing to see how much ground the S2000s would pick up in the tighter parts of the track. In the long open parts, the F-bodies would catch up though. Don't take anything the wrong way...Like I said, I'm not downgrading a car or it's abilites just because it's not labeled as a sports car.
Where in my statment did I compare it to an f-body? But now that you bring it up, just because you saw a pro driver take an S2000 around a road course an pass a few f-bodies just means there was a good driver in the car. Lets look at the SCCA T2 class, which is pretty much stock with safety equipment, where the f-body and the S2000 both run. Guess what? The f-body dominates the class. They just can't make up for their lack of torque when the cars are on an equally sticky tire. But I am not downgrading the car abilities just because it is labeled a sports car.
