well if i could afford an s2000 i'm sure i'd have one of those. but the nova does for now didn't actually realise the potential the 2litres have, they are scary fast, very under rated.

Ive driven loads, HARD, infact i VERY nearly wrote one off!

Really nice to drive, feels a bit strange at first needing to drop 3 years to go from cruising to caning, but soon gets used to it, too much grip n not enough torque to get much in the way of sideways or wheelspin in the dry, but they quick.

I got 140mph on the clock with ease on the A40 out of one, itd of easily pulled passed the "indicated" 150 no bother.
