S2000 is bigger than Miata both in and out.
AP2 comes with 245 rear.. which is wide enough for a car like s2000.
Honestly, the Traction Control in 2006+ really does not help much. Like you said it does not really kick it until it is probably too late.
my favorite is 2004-2005... good compromise.

And to each there own about the traction control. It works and it has saved my friend a couple times, while still letting you play. If you're playing on wet roads, well, you're just asking for it.
2006 Miata GT curb weight: 2498lbs
2006 s2000 curb weight: 2855lbs
A difference of 357lbs. And it's not like these two cars are massively different in size. Both of the curb weights are from the manufacturers themselves.

No, the inside of a Miata is not smaller than an s2000. I literally cannot endure more than a 30min drive in an s2000 because it is so cramped. I've driven a half day with a Miata without issue. On the outside, yes, it is smaller, but inside it is bigger.

This doesn't make any sense. The s2000 has a bigger body, but a more cramped interior (have you seen how big the engine bay on the s2000 is compared to a Miata?) How is it considered a lighter car if you just said it's bigger?

I'm not saying the S2000 is LIGHTER than the Miata.

earlier in the week, I had a dream that I won 2 brand new Supra Turbos in some contest or something. I kept one and gave the other to a friend. Felt so real. Then I woke up and was like, DAMN.
'08 MX5 GT 6spd.
You guys are lucky. The other day I had a dream that I was marrying a really fat chick. To each his own, but I like spinners.
She also had a kid, from another dude. Said dude was invited to the wedding. Everyone was so ecstatically happy for me. When I woke up I almost threw up.
Never drinking too much wine again.
ANYWAY, S2000s. Yeah. They're cool.

It's funny because my friend has a AP2. His car is pretty well modified. A front splitter/Vortex wing and all that. He said that his car has a tendency to spin when it's going slow due to the lack of downforce in the back. He has to go FASTER to not spin out.
I was like ummmmmmmmm

He probably means on the track. That's a whole different animal. Indeed, almost every S2000 I've seen at the track had a GT wing.
I really liked my car just driving on the street. But between the cones and on the track is where I fell in love with it.

After enough time behind the wheel, anyone can screw up.

and yeah I'm pretty bad at detecting sarcasm on the internet. Not too great at conveying it either. Exception being a pun thread on AZ, where it's a given.

You s2000 guys should put these on the back fender of your cars:
"Look ma', no more spinning out!"

how fkin cool was it to see Magnus Walker in the latest Porsche commercial?? damn I was like, damn son.
I always wondered what Porsche thought about the kind of work he does. Well, it looks like they embrace it.
I can't find the video right now though - anyone have it?

So I had a weird dream last night where I sold the IS for a E65 7 Series. One that had cloth sport seats, a manual transmission, a digital gauge cluster, and a 450hp V8. I woke up very confused.
