It's not all about straight line speed, but if you really need to know 0-60 is about 5.5 if you drop the clutch.

It's about rear wheel drive and a balanced chassis.

It's yellow, by the way.

Einstein, congratulations on your new purchase. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

To answer a previous question, Honda S2000 can do 0-60 in 5.2. 5.5 is about the average..... [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] but some of us S2ki members (including myself) are getting 5.2 and 13.7 1/4 mile times. It's 240hp, and 153lbs-ft torque.

Oh yeah, my insurance also only went up 30 a month from what I was paying for my civic. Ahhh, the benefits of owning a 4 cylinder. (even if it can smoke a V8)

I saw a suzuka blue one yesterday. Some old fart (50+) was driving it. Must be his mid-life crisis medicine...

Get the suzuka blue. I dont think it's rare. Any more so than other colors. Dont' get spa yellow. IMO. But I guess it depends on what you like. That new blue is awesome. You have to see it in person, because the pics don't do it justice.
