Last weekend I had the Z at a local car hang out. There was a large group of people standing around my car when a couple of guys in a loud S2000 drive by and yell; "NICE CAMARO!" to the group and then start laughing.

It's pretty obvious they were being sarcastic, but I don't speak ricer so I'm not exactly sure what their point was. Can anyone here help translate?

 

they were just jelious because they dont have any torque. ( i know cuz i had a modified z and now i have a S2000). man do i miss the torque.

 

Last time I checked the Websters Ricer Dictionary..... that is usually a translation of: "Hey I'm jealous of your car, but I'm too big of a toolbag to say it!"



Your C6 looks awesome btw!

 

Scott...since I am asian, I think I can help you with a response: "Hey...Nice Civic!"

 

Close... nothing burns a S2000 owner more than:

"Nice Miata"

 

LOL...thanks.

Just so you know, I consider people "ricers" only when they act a certain way with regard to cars. It has absolutely nothing to do with their ethnicity (my wife is actually half-asian).

 

I was not trying to insinuate that you were referring to race. When you use the term...I know EXACTLY the types of people you are referring to.

 

You know what...you're right...that's even better!

 

truth

lol

 

"Nice miata" Takes the cake. Does anyone actually call them Mx-5's anyways?

 

LoL thats what i tell my friends all the time when they say im thinking about buying an s2000 i tell them why dont u just buy a miata and save some money. SAME THING Torqueless monsters

R.

 

Miata's are a sporty car.
S2000's are really a sports car.

I've driven both. The S2000 is just a gas. The Miata wastes it.

 

I drove a buddies S2000. I think it had 20 ft. lbs. of torque....

 

Compared to the Z06 (I had an 02 C5Z), yep, not a lot of launch till you get it up to 7K. The S2000 is a much more involving car to drive though. I use mine all the time and I live in Hill Country. It makes you a better driver because it's so easy to get behind on inputs on a powerful car.
I bring out heavier artillary when necessary

 

I don't think it's involving because you have to work to hard to keep it in the powerband. I like torque coming out of a corner....

But, it does have an awesome shifter. No doubt about that.
