Yep, the S2000 is in AS along with the Audi TT Quattro and 
the Audi S4.  I was guessing SS for the Honda, although it
does suffer from a lack of torque.  The Audi drivers will
be facing an uphill battle in AS, although they may be able
to win the Pro Solo drag race 'till the first turn. :-)

These listings were in the most recent issue of "Sportscar."
