When ever we take the s2000 to 'Vegas, seems an Audi wants to take us on on the I 15.
I think they get a surprised when we kick in the v-tec and the Honda leaps ahead.
The Audis seem pretty cool, but don't know much about them.
I think most people don't either.
Aren't they all aluminum or close to it?
Did they used to be called DKW Auto Union? (remembering back to reading Road & Track as a kid).
Are any VW's Audi clones?
Would another name change help the company?
They had some bad plubicity and we were wondering if they ever recovered or is it still hauntin them.
"when we kick in the v-tec",....Ok first off you need to quit watching fast and furious with your kids.That statement alone will get you chased off by the true Honda enthusiasts.
I'll admit Im not too familiar with the S2000,my wife thinks they're cute but other than that they dont catch my eye.Must be my guy egotism's or whatever.
Cant really compare a 4 door sedan with all wheel drive to a light weight 2 seater convertible.The Audi TT would be more of a better rivalry I would assume,but then again I cant stand those either..LOL I do know that the power band of the S2000's motor is often compared and used as a comparison to alot of other motors out there,due to its linear power delivery.Othern than that I'm not up on the rest of the car,but my wife does think they're cute.
Now I do own an 05 Audi S4 and with the exception of a few very small problems,ones that I didnt even know existed until the dealer made me aware of them,I have been very happy with the quality and performance of the Audi.Would I be a repeat Audi buyer,yes.Ziggy mentioned that the Audi crowd is somehwhat of a smaller "cult" than the rest of the car enthusiast world here in the states.Now in Europe its a complete different situation.I have been told by many that Audi is held in the highest reguards over there,same playing field as BMW and Mercedes.The only draw back to owning an Audi here in the states is when it comes to resale,not that the car takes a value hit but more of "right buyer" hit.Make sense,no?Its not hard to get a fair price for the car,its waiting for the true Audi enthusiast to make the move into another car.Seems to me most of your Audi drivers stick with them and are very brand loyal.That is basically the one thing I ever hear negative about Audi that really stands out.
As for performance,the cars are incredible.They have great power,braking and handling.Its a very different feel to drive a all wheel drive car with some decent HP.They track completely different in the turns,entering and exiting has a complete different feel than any other car.Even in everyday driving the Audi's have a different feel to them.At first you notice the feel then after awhile you seem to forget it,then its very noticable after you drive another car thats not all wheel drive.
I know this was addressed to Ziggy but I thought I'd throw my useless,babbling into the mix.
Summary....I'll put an asswhoop'n on that S2000 in my S4!

RS4 is a beast
The S2000 wouldn't stand a chance no matter what the competition.
420 hp AWD with huge brakes(Big $$$)
I have always thought the S2000 was a decent little sports car but there not fast. Our old Neon SRT-4 used to beat them pretty good in a straight line.(I drove the neon to 13.8 @102 stock in the 1/4 mile)
Takes an amazing driver to get the s2000 in the 13's because it has no tq and is very difficult to launch.
