S2000, Audi TT, 350Z, Mustang Mach1... comparison
Here is the link to the original thread from s2ki.com.
Car and Driver did some kind of comparo, and though I don't agree with the results either, I'm not going to complain. This is not the end all tell all, and please do remember that this thread is on an S2000 site. So keep it civil if you respond there! Just as I do the same courtesy on your site.

No, the S2k got 3rd, and the Audi TT got last. I'm not fond of car and driver, and never have been. They seem to be the most biased car mag, and sometimes the choices they make for comparisons just don't make any sense. But this is all my opinion.
I'm not sure why they put the hard top on the S2k. It only hurts it's performance in straightline and roadcourse.
And the fact that neither the S2k or Audi TT were fully broken in. Both cars had like 300 miles on them. Neither car makes anywhere NEAR full power that much before it's break in period. S2k's hit full power probably around 1500+ miles... same for Audi TT.

From fastest to slowest:
The Mustang Mach1 did (14.0@103 mph) 1/4 mile - (0-60 mph 5.2sec.)
350Z did (14.3@ 100 mph) 1/4 mile - (0-60 mph 5.7sec.)
S2000 did (14.9@ 95 mph) 1/4 mile - (0-60 mph 6.3 sec.)
Audi TT did (15.7@88 mph) 1/4 mile - (0-60 mph7.3sec.)
How much is the Mustang?

how about slalom tests? that sould be S, Z, TT, Mustang. in that order.
oh and the hard top was because it was sport COUPES. everyone had a hard top so if the S2000 wanted to play, they did too. not really a big deal for performance, but it was a bit of a low blow on price.

Doesn't matter all that much. They're both fun as hell to drive regardless of the top or trim.
