"The Fast & The Furious Cars": love 'em or hate 'em?

S2000 are amazing but like my car lack low end torque. Also with an S2000 you have to keep the rpms up to enjoy the VTEC. Unless you have a lot of roadway, many drivers do not get to enjoy the high revs as much. Too bad it does not come in a hard top.

 

My dad had an NSX. He got it the first year they were in production. He kept it for a few years, but got sick of all the hassles associated with it -- Clear Lake boys always trying to race him, expensive tires that had to be replaced all the time, etc...

He just got a BMW M3 coupe (his first non-Acura, non-Lexus car in more than a decade) and he loves it. It has more horsepower than his NSX did and doesn't attract as much unwanted attention.

 

I saw some pictures in the Automobile magazine earlier this month.

I wouldn't say it looks exactly like the S2000, but moreso than the current Z car. (We are talking about the Z4 - the Z3 replacement, right?)

 

Will you be my daddy?

Just don't give me a horsey car.

 

Ya know, in Road and Track magazine, they talked about almost the same things. NSX drivers loved their cars, and never had trouble with it, except the tires if I can recall.

 

Sure, but now that you're over 18, you're on your own.

 

Check out some of the Z4 pics here, very S2000'ish.

I'll give you the rear end as being S2000ish, but I'm not seeing it on the front end or side.

 

Many BMW fans are disgusted by the soon-to-be Z4. The reviews I've read in mags and online from people that have seen it haven't been very umm... kind.
