Over 70 mph the GTA pulls away smoothly as the speed increases.
At my local track there seemed to be certain gaps in the S2000 power curve which allowed the GTA to gain a few lenghts very quikly,
e.g. when it was at the lower reaches of 3rd gear for a corner that was too fast for second in the Honda.
I was surprised to be honest, since the S2000 should be very fast, and in fact is very fast. I didn't really expect a heavier GTA to show so strongly against it - but the V6 is a lovely engine for day to day and more extreme use.
Cheers,

On my drive home today I raced against an S2000 from the robots. He was in front of me and could not pull away at all. But in 4th gear it was game over and I over took it with ease. I was then wondering if he backed down, or just his car was not that quick at high speeds, or a bit of both?
The reason I am so curious is because a friend of mine wants to buy an S2000 and cannot stop raving about how quick it is.
Otherwise, nice to meet you all and happy chatting.
