No wind up now, just not happy about being told "You said A" when I said "B"

If he took that meaning then that's his mistake.

Gav can believe what he wants. He knows what I meant, as does everyone else reading the thread ;)

The s2000 is a mid engined car, so is the MR2, anyone with two eyes and two braincells to rub together can discern that the MR2 has its engine behind the driver and the S2k engine is in front, but they are both mid engined cars. ;)

That's the long and short of it :lol:

So if GavvyDavvywoos wants to have the last word fine that's fine by me :thumleft:

I did know what you meant, but it wasn't what you said :-)

Clearly not as much as you do.
Cling to your "s2k is mid engined like an mr2" pseudo factoid all you like.

If you don't like how this is going down, engage brain before hitting send.

If it's that important someone sort out an IMOC vs S2000 forum track day?

While we are at it lets settle the N/A vs turbo debate as well!

Steps in from the end of bar....

Well technically it isn't N/A, it's just NA.

Can't believe Marf is still on this.

I track my Rev 3 Turbo and a friend tracks his S2000, both have mild tweaks - brakes etc, but no power increases.

We both drive each others cars and in all honestly round a track there is not a lot in it in terms of pace but they feel very different and the S2000 you must keep the revs up at all times.

Gearbox on the S2000 is a million times better than the MR2 though and I like the digital dash.

Overall I prefer my MR2 Turbo.

That's the answer then. Stock power they are basically the same.

Do the basics to the Rev3 and you have an axtra 50bhp to take the victory lol.
