I've driven one on course....it was still in the tuning stage and it liked
to step out in the corners. I think it does have potential, but not that it
has significantly more potential than an M3 or MR2 Turbo. It has no
torque and the wait for the VTEC cam to come online is very similar
to what I have in the MR2 below 3K rpm (except you're waiting about
3500 more rpm in the S2K's case). The car was a hoot to drive....but
did not show the potential that I saw in the M Roadster last month.
If it runs away with the show all season, by all means throw it up a class.
That hasn't been happening, and I think this proposal is premature. It
had one good run at an NT on Gary Thomason's home turf, which has
been described as a decided advantage.
