If you look at the weight to power ratio, it's about 11.3:1, thats better than my car, and you got some work to do if you wanna win

She's looking at a 2 seater roadster.. looking at the sky, solstice, z4, and possibly a used boxter. I hate the s2k... we drove one and talk about a nutless peice... I prefer to have something with more torque than my briggs and straton...

Really just wondering how they are for real world performance? How they stack up against a stock new edge or a stock s197

in the real world, they are low 14 second cars.

i havent heard good things about the boxter, but thats going to be a much better quality car than the rebadged opels...the same goes for the Z4.

We sat in a Z4 but didnt drive it.. we loved the interior but it was late and a huge hassel since it was up on a ramp.. didnt have time to go back.

Im trying to push her into a vette.. we drove, of all things, a C4 that she could have walked away with that night and no payments... was a drop dead gorgeous admiral blue 96 6 speed LT4.. mmmmmmm sexy. Had issues though.. major stutter over 4k (probably a bad optispark... uhhg) and an oil leak on the top side of the motor with nothing from the exhaust.. so maybe a valve cover or something... but she wants something to just drive thats more fun and more powerful than her 05 celica.. lol

Really trying to push for an older viper.. but not having much success there either... something about me driving it more than she would or some such nonsense...
