ps, how does ur fd like it himself?
Yeah, and will need a LONG straight road to reach the 9K rev in any gear! Unless you flat out in 1st gear tho
So i think MRS is more fun for HK roads, although S2000 offers better dynamics, power and handling, but you rarely can't use its 9K rev really.

My friends tried to drive "his" car in a quiet road, he stored 4 times in one traffic light and the truck behind was so pissed off!! I were so embrrassing!! And a police next to us too!!

He said he wont drive the car out unless i sit next to him, OMG!

That's the same as what I mean.
S2000 must beat the Elise in terms of performance, technology......etc

The design of Elise is just for play but not for use
