Wow, import kids dont know much about cars...automatics arent slower if you know how to drive...the supercharger thing all depends on what kind of supercharger you get and no supercharger would give you only 20 horses...and downshifting stops eh? i wouldnt count on that fact either...oh and in response the whole s2000 story, this kid i know had an 2001 S2000 for about 6 months before he destroyed the tranny and the engine b/c he didnt know how to drive, he lost to a 1994 Integra GS-R so dont rely on races you have watched cause odds are, the kid didnt know how to handle the car. I think that about covers it all.
