This is what I like to drive to get my fix. One of about 3500 sent to the US in 97, 98, 00, 01. Care to put that S2K up against it? EVO magizine is rating it as one of the top ten sports cars.

155mph. Handles like crap. Not what you would expect for a car built here in Germany. My little Honda handles better at all speeds and cost me half the money. :thumbsdown:
can not share that opinnion!

Seing how you are in Finland I doubt you frequent high speeds very often, so you probably wouldn't know how it handles at higher speeds. And to your reply

I wouldn't call it crap but at high speeds my E39 felt much more planted. I'm guessing the RF's have a lot to do with that. FWIW, I took the E39 to much higher speeds than my E60.
