I was sad when the cards lost. I am a Denver fan (lets not go there lol), so once my team wasn't even in, I had to go for AZ.

lol. I will call it a mulletmobile if your bein a jackass in it. I like your TA though much cleaner than I would have thought and I like the red more so than the black(seth). Also the fact that you manned up to a 6 spd impresses me lol. I doubt you should be offended since my honda was a bitch car and any import you refer to it as rice, especially when my rice can run down your mulletmobile lol.

Yeah, it definitely keeps you on your toes when you're driving it... it's kinda the 600cc sportbike of the sports car world. If I ever actually BOUGHT one it would end up being a 2nd or 3rd car, but I do prefer it over my old Mustang right now.

I used to be a HUGE Cowboys fan, but they've lost me the past few years. But to address the last part of your post, I'm 6'1" 200lbs and the S2000 fits me like a glove. I think it has a lot to do with how you're proportioned. I wouldn't want to be any larger though.

Are YOU joking? His car has zero traction from a dig. Or in first gear at all for that matter. .

Hey, couldn't pass up a decent 6 speed when I got the chance. It'll look nicer once weather picks up and I can get a good cleaning in. Yeah, I know you beat me with that light turbo 200 you've got. An are people actually discussing who would win between us from a dig? ****. We'll get to see at the track. Long as you're able to run. And off topic...but who all is going? (anyone can come to ORP with us)

From a dig it would have been closer. I seriously doubt you can sit there and say I would have gotten murdered. Mainly being the fact that at the 10mph he went down to on the one run, me still in 2nd gear mind you, he jumped me a car and a half, I then reeled him back in, and beat him by a cpl cars at about 120. My traction would have to be so bad, i lose like 3-4 cars off the start, to not catch him by 100-105mph. My traction does suck but if all else fails ill just drop it into 2nd at 10 and catch his ***. Let alone that run was with you still in my car. Also that night it was what about 25-30 outside?

I believe I have also stated several times I would probably lose from a dig if not it would be very close either way, but murdered, ha doubt that **** seriously.

Lucky for you my orders didn't come in til next day You wouldn't have gotten murdered unless you would've spun for days. You would've had me at about 105 I'd say. But like I said. Track.

And as for the reason as to why I am not running around on these drag radials and whatnot. I had planned on running them when I went to the track, however it has broken a cv shaft on the drivers side and I am not certain if it has something to do with lsd or if the stock axles won't hold. I don't have the money for a tow truck so I am gona run on stock tires and see what happens. I planned on bein mid 13 with good tires now I am thinkin more of a higher 13 but who knows. Once again, I highly doubt getting murdered by that car regardless of how bad I spun from a dig. My guess is he would have had a little spinning also. The car has the motor mounts, the coilovers, the lsd tranny to try and limit traction problems but in the end its still fwd. I need a 240, damnit.
