Exactly what I was thinking !!!
My car doesn't even come alive until 4500 rpms, and then it just glorious
I drove an early S2000, and even though it's lacking in torque, the engine revs so freely, that before you know, you're in the power band and up to 7000 rpm. Similar to the RX8, it's so hard to drive at those rpms, just feels so unnatural to have the engine screaming away!
It's a shame to see the S2000 go, I don't think it'll change the Boxster sales that much, if any - are they really seen as competitors? I see the Boxster's main competition from the BMW Z4 and SLK.
