Just admit that the FD isn't THAT great. Seriously, why can't FD owners just admit that? It's a great car for the money, but that's not the same thing as a GREAT car.

i'm sorry, unlike the majority of you I speak from experience.....not hearsay. S2Ks are not fast, neither are RX-8s or NA RX7s.....Sure they are QUICK but nowhere near FAST........if the S2K can't keep up with a TII(3" turbo-back, safc,intake and boost turned up to 12 psi) THE IT IS SLOW..........and the fact that you think it can keep up with an FD is riCOCKulous........

experience? You've owned an S2K? I've gone one lots of canyon runs with s2k's and some of the modded ones were FAST. They kept up just fine with my FD, and Gideon's Supra Turbo.
"a TII(3" turbo-back, safc,intake and boost turned up to 12 psi)" -- that's quite a lot of added power you're talking about there. You're comparing that to a stock S2K? How about I compare a stock S2k to an FD that's not boosting correctly?
You keep talking, but you still haven't told me why you say that the S2000 is slow. Can you explain that statement or not? It seems that you just keep repeating what you said earlier. That's not much of an explanation.

If you want to have pride in your car, that's fine. If you have to knock other cars to have that pride, maybe your car isn't so great after all. I loved my FD, and I'd consider buying another someday. That doesn't mean that the S2000, Evo, STI, etc are slow cars.
Why don't I buy an S2000? I don't like how they look. Pretty simple. Why did I sell my FD? Someone rear ended me and it wasn't the same after that. Why did I buy an FC vert? It was cheap and I liked how it looks. What does that have to do with how fast an S2000 is? It's ok to have pride in a car that's not the BEST.

0-60 in the 5's stock. 'nuff said.
I can get you specs and performance numbers. All you have is: "I know from experience"
Guess what, I've driven with a lot of S2000's. They are definately not slow. So I guess "I know from experience" as well. I just happen to be able to throw numbers at you.
Who's next?

ok FD's aren't that great, but I still like them better than S2000'S.

I don't get it. How is that even relevant? The stock FD NEW did mid 4's by magazine testers. So you're saying that an FD is slow because we're not magazine testers? You're a fool if you think that the S2000 is the only car that was tested by "magazine testers". Does all your garbage really sound like valid points to you? It's cool for you to dislike a car, but that's not a valid reason for calling it slow.
