If we're going to be honest with ourselves, the real life measuring stick is 5-60 mph. How often does someone decide to do a full bore launch from a stop light on public roads? Almost never, and we don't even need to mention how irresponsible that is.
Most of the time, the urge to NAIL IT comes after you've already started moving a bit.

You really seem to have an issue(across multiple threads and topics) with the new car being much faster than the old car. Seems like a rather specific axe to grind. |

We saw it physically beat the miata and s2k in the video. Good enough

EDIT: In fact it is more beneficial to the s2000. They measured the BRZ at 1ft rollout as .3 seconds. That means they effectively started timing when the car was going ~2.27mph, whereas they would of started timing a bit later (with a lower overall time) if they timed it @ 3mph. The example they used was the C8 Corvette, which gained .1 second in the new drag race method. The new system was to be more accurate in this upper level tier of super car performance.

Matt Farah's review is much better and up to the point. I really like it. Not sure why some tubers still prefer to compare the platform with a car from the late '90s or early '20s. It was an icon at that period, but times are now different.

Perhaps for you and I nikitopo we dont notice it, but it would be particularly noticeable for car journalists, who drive all the modern cars. |

Yup. The 86/BRZ and the Miata are the only cars to adhere to the classic sports car formula since the S2000 went away. There’s just nothing to compare it to in the current market besides the Miata, and that’s a convertible. You could include the 350/370Z, but it’s more of a grand tourer than a sports car.

If that's the case, then the S2000 was considered already by its introduction a level up comparing to the MX-5. Here is a review article of related cars back in '03 : Nissan 350Z: $30,000 Honda S2000: $33,060 Audi TT: $39,660 BMW Z4 3.0: $40,945 Porsche Boxster: $43,365 The base price of a MX-5 was $22,363 at that time. A S2000 was closer in price to an Audi TT or a BMW Z4 than a MX-5. Same can be said about performance figures like quarter-to-mile from standstill at that time https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...parison-tests/ |
