NOVA/DC/MD - Z's & Coffee Saturday's at 10AM in Fairfax, VA & Columbia, MD

No clue how much the gaskets are. Shouldn't be more than a few bucks. I'd roll in the S2K but it will be getting it's valve service while we are

I'd roll in the S2K but it will be getting it's valve service while we are at the meat.

I did drive it to work today. First time out in the sun following the lengthy detail. Looks great and red as ever!

Dee, gas is 3.23 for regular unleaded down here in Bowie. They're practically giving it away!

If you think the S2K is fast, then the Z must feel like a Bugatti Veyron.

It does feel fast when you get it on some back roads. It's quite a visceral experience with far more feedback than the Z and other cars. It's small, low, light, very responsive, etc.

But it really isn't fast in a straight line. On a good day a good driver might trap 100-101 mph. By comparison I should be 116-117 with my new tune on the 5.0. That's a huge difference!

Still, S2K is the most fun car I've owned.

Meh, I'm not impressed until you get to trap speeds over 150
