I think you have to fall back on Andy's original post; it's all speculation at
this time. I also think that Andy's personal feeling that it initially
appears to be a SS vehicle has to do with the S2000's purported mid-13 second
1/4 mile time. It may not have a lot of torque, but a really low rear gear
and a close ratio 6 speed with a seasoned shift-capable driver could have a go
at it. However, if it does get put in AS I say bring it on.
