your probably did his at like 60 mph.

if the driver knows what he is doing the S2000 runs 13.5 1/4 mile your TDI in like 16 seconds. The S2000 is a fantastic car that rewards the skilled driver.

It was light to light two times.

That sounds like it was a nice TDI !

I can appreciate diesels - having had a couple Cummins TD (one of which was well modified).....I loved smoking sports cars with my 1 ton truck (and getting 20mpg at the same time!)
