I'm also used to downshifting (no matter if its double-clutching or heel-toe) so theres no need to worry about lower rpms on the S2000.
 
handling...ever go through mountain curves inches from the gaurdrail and blowing past semi trucks at 100 MPH+? It's a blast....and no not drifting... :rolleyes: not much place to use 1000HP....

overall though both are very important, thats why the GTR is such an awsome car, best of both worlds.
 
:lol: I just agree with what he said and im a best motoring fan so sue me :D anyways i do agree that balance is way better than power, why do u want tons of power and handles like ****. The only place you can put all ur power down is at a drag track, i rather have my balance car at a curcuit :) not like those oval curcuit ****.

first, its not called a drag track, its called a drag strip. Also drag racing isnt the only sport were power counts more than handeling, there is also drylake beds like El Mirage and Bonniville.;)
 
Drag track strip same thing :D anyways what is drylake beds like El Mirage and Bonniville, im not fimiar to that either way i would choose handling over power so.. but in most curcuit and touge power isnt all that matter, handling and weight matters alot too, Power + handling= perfection :)

weight matters a lot when making a run at a dry lake bed, if its not distributed right, you will just take off(as in airborn), and thats not a good thing going that fast.
 
Handling is obviously the winner.

The only reason people dont floor it all the way all day long is because of there never being 'enough' handling. Slowing around corners.. because otherwise bodyroll or whatever is going to cause you to loose control etc.

So without handling, it doesnt matter what power you got. Handling is what lets you use power. (without becoming a fireball)
