Well possibly in Canada the M Roadster has 315hp, but in America it's 240 and that's what I was going off of (I honestly thought it was 240hp for all of North America). Also, according to R&T's September 2000 comparo of the cars (Audi TT Roadster vs. Porsche Boxster S vs. Honda S2000 vs. BMW M Roadster), the S2000 recorded 0-60 blasts in 5.5 seconds, whereas the M Roadster did it in 5.4 seconds. The quater mile run was dispatched in 14.0 seconds @ 99.5 mph in the M, while the S2000 did it in 14.1 @ 99.6. In other words, the cars are virtually dead even if you can launch them both equally well (admittedly a harder task in the S2000). Meanwhile the S2000 did the 700 ft. slalom at 65.9 mph, while the M could only muster a 63.0 effort (worst of all the cars tested). The S2000 also bested every car in the comparo with a 56.80 second run around the Buttonwillow Raceway, while the M was only capable of a third place 57.72 second run. Running nearly a second faster on a fast road course is not that easy, so it's obvious which car is quicker when driven by the same driver at 10/10ths. At any rate, I think both cars are worthy of a head's up comparo, and I think the S2000 is the clear winner whenyou are looking for the most performance for your dollar. Hell, let's see an M Roadster keep up with an S2000 after you spend that 10k you saved modifying the car!
Ps- Yeah, I'm a moderator, that's how I got the title and 5 stars
