I went to the Honda dealership where my friend works, and they had a pretty blue S2000 sitting in the showroom. I thought "What the hell" and sat in it...OMG, this this is so cramped for me on the inside! I'm 6'4" and I can't even move my leg to hit the clutch! I was so disappointed, I've always loved the S2000, but now I've learned I can't own one. Fuck!

This also happened w/a Porsche Boxter, I sat in one at Carmax just for the hell of it, and I couldn't even close the door!

If Lamborghinis and Ferraris are like this....I don't know what I'm gonna buy when I'm 30.....

master of the obvious?



Go sit in an NSX.

Minch00

No dealerships have one....the bastards.....I'd be in there everyday playing with it....so I guess that's a good thing.

cor

sucks for you, because i'm getting an s2000 as soon as i get out college..

SiGGy

Corvette can fit people easier...

also faster than the S2k & boxter.


Real men use torque!

I'm 6'4'' and I sit in the NSX just fine..auto and manual. I sat in a ferrari testrosa and I can sit fine in there too.

you should fine when going up to the big ones

Minch00

Yay!

Power > Weight = faster car

CL P Diddy

I think that is a good reason to buy a sport coupe.

Minch, aren't you like 300lbs (forgive me if i'm wrong, which is entirely possible)? At 6'4", you are a VERY big guy. I don't see how you expected to fit in the s2000.

GreenMonster

Yep, that's one of the reason's I own a CLS. Enough room, has a real back seat, and has enough balls to get me into trouble.

Minch, It's all about the power to weight ratio. Lighter weight, quicker car. I'd like to own something eventually that has a power to weight ratio under 10.

My CLS has a power to weight ratio of 13.25, my VW bus is something like 56 (3800 lbs with 67hp).

Here's a list of Power-to-Weight ratios of popular cars:

Dude, weight. The smaller the car, the more intense the driving experience. Too much mass furthers you from the feeling of being with the road.

Minch00

I understand the weight, but honestly, will anyone use the fucking trunk in an S2000? Just make that smaller and give about 4-6" more leg room, and I'd be set.....

cor

gotta have some kind of trunk-- or else if someone rearends you, your ass is cracked

DISRUPTV

minch,


no offense, but arent u 6'4 300lbs?

Minch00

Yes.

SFLA_Type-S

I would take a Z06 Vette over an S2K or Boxter anyday

SilverCL225hp

You are 6'4" tall, not that many vehicles out there you would feel comfortable sitting in them.

darrinb

ur a big ass mother fucker

bkknight369

haha green thx for putting in your bus' power-weight ratio

wuzzz619

I think that's an understatement.

Minch00

Indeed.

GreenMonster

You liked that huh ??

My 11hp riding mower probably has a better power to weight ratio

bkknight369

hehe nice

thats cool everyone should have a fun little beater to supplement the badass cars we drive

I have an '89 Geo Prism...i think 90 hp...dont remember...all i know is it rattles like hell at 70, and the spedometer only goes to 85

Course I'd probably pass you on the freeway if you were driving your bus

bkknight369

and dam Minch everyone picks on you...you dont have to take it man...be like Tom2...he would ALWAYS have the last word on any argument

bkknight369

dam im post whoring today...must be because im working on my research paper too

bullaculla

you'd might as well be sitting on the floor.

Sdog2012

wishful thinking!

CLS2001_97124

Yes, who wouldn't love to have a Z06 parked in their garage..

spdy0001

NOT ME

Z06's and all other year corvettes are like the civics of sports cars around here.
