how many G's does it take to get an S2000 to body roll?
about 1.39
those were taken at the Dragon for the fall dragonball run 05.
also, a cool dealership story. one of our wisconsin friends that went ended up having a major issue. long story short, while in tennessee, his back left wheel bearing went bad and basically caused all sorts of problems, including his brakes/rotors melting themselves. the reason being that the axle had snapped, and the hub was somehow pushing the pads onto the rotors. when he had pulled over, his rotors and pads were red from the heat.
once the dealership there in tennessee got his car up on a jack, the wheel just fell right off. it was a saturday morning, and here he was stuck in tennessee.
the dealership took a brand new 2005 S2000 right off their showroom floor, dismantled it, and used the parts to replace the bad parts on our friend's 2001 S2000. He was back up and driving by saturday afternoon. props to that honda dealership. THAT is customer service!!

but alas, i have 1grand saved up 
i got screwed at the dealership i refied my honda through, funny thing is the car was leased by me first then we financed it. well for them to pass inspection they made me put it back to stock. that mean wheels and tires, springs, intake, and drill holes in my c/f hood for hood squirters. ohhh i was heated when they told me that i had to drill hole for squirters on my fresh hood. but i had to do it to get the financing done. now everything is back on + some
