I joined this site a while ago, when I was planning on buying a corvette, but never posted here. My plans changed, and I never did buy one. I haven't been back on the site much since.
I used to drive a 440whp Evo, which I then traded on a 440whp supercharged S2000. I finally got tired of trying to make these cars go fast in a straight line and also still be fun on the curves. The Evo got fantastic traction of course, but the lag was annoying on the tight curves around here. The S2000 doesn't get much traction without setting up the chassis and tires for straight line duty, which kind of defeats the purpose of owning an S2000.
Now I'm building a bit of a budget straight line car to satisfy that urge- a fox body with a turbo LS engine. I'm also selling or parting out the S2000 this year, and I'm planning on picking up a C5 for the curves and hopefully some track days.
