Ok…here’s a car worth looking at…
The car has exceeded its 36,000 mile warranty 69,232.3 times while driving around the Sun, (2,492,362,522 miles, 4,011,069,912 km, 26.81 AU) moving at a speed of 55,127 mi/h (88,718 km/h, 24.64 km/s). The orbital period is about 557 days.
It has achieved a fuel economy of 19,780.7 miles per gallon (8,409.6 km/liter, 0.01189 liters/100 km), assuming [126,000 gallons]
The license plate/registration has not been paid for quite some time. And it owes a few billions in speeding tickets.
All on the original tires and brake pads.
Spotted in a hotel parking lot in Silverthorn, CO this morning (got stranded in Summit County last night when I-70 closed). The comic relief was welcome.
Yup, I always take the longest route when I drive my Porsche.
…and thoroughly enjoy the curvy bits. Vette’s may be faster (than some Porsche’s) in a straight line, but not through the turns and not nearly as enjoyable to drive.
You may find it useful to review the historical Lightning Lap times and compare the lap times of Corvettes v. Porsches and see how often Corvettes are faster on the track, which is replete with “curvy bits.” Only the $365,000 Porsche gt2rs Weissach is quicker than the fastest Corvette (in stock form). All the other Porsches fall in line behind the Corvette. There are a group of 911 Porsches beat by a Camaro as well. Click
In any event, these bench racing “mine is bigger than yours” arguments are stupid.
Drive what you like and enjoy it. Let the other guy enjoy his car just as much.
Agreed. No matter what you drive, someone else has something faster. I’ve been driving Porsches for 38 years but I have just as much fun in my Mini.
The Mini is a hoot. I also enjoy driving a Miata, particularly on a twisty track - incredible fun.
Yes, my Z06 is a lot faster than both, but this does not make either any less fun. If anything this makes them more fun as they are so different to drive than the Z06.
I had a 90 Miata that I loved driving. I can’t fit in the new ones. My head is above the wind screen. For some reason I could fit in the original. That’s also why I never got an S2000 although I really wanted one. I’m a roadster guy at heart.
It’s too bad Honda didn’t keep it in the lineup. Perhaps they didn’t like the Miata competition.
700 horsepower for 100k+ („only“). Didn’t know this is available aside of say a BMW Alpina or so. But great stuff!
I always wanted to know what people do with such a car in a land where driving it over the allowed mph is risky…driving it on a race track?
My car is not as fast or strong, but therefore I can officially drive my 160 mph every day I want (up to the next roadwork)
I spend a good deal of time at race tracks. I also live in an area with many twisty roads, no traffic, good visibility-- perfect for high performance cars and motorcycles.
The S2000 was wonderful. I think relatively few were sold as they were poor for stoplight racing. They need to rev to perform. I suspect many did not understand or enjoy this.
Yup, those Car And Driver magazine exercises on that track are a reliable, global demonstration of the superior racing heritage of Corvette vs Porsche in more categories of racing from LeMans to Dakar since the beginnings of each marque to today. Of course except drag racing, where Porsches are a joke, typically.
My spidey-sense is telling me you are missing the point. 
Sounds great!
That’s funny.
You think so?
I find it unfortunate.
