Thoughts on the S2000?

[Chatham540i 10+ year member]

I'm really interested in getting one for a daily. I'd be down sizing in space quite a bit but I don't carry a lot of stuff around anyway, I'm going to the dealer right now to test drive, get numbers and what not.

It's a nice chick car.

A couple of nissan sr20's would pull a premium at race wars in those //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I've sat in one and they're well built, the shifting is unbelievable. I think it's more of a track car though, the engine's very high revving and from what I've heard the suspension isn't well suited for the street. If you want a small rwd drive car, check out the miata, sky, or maybe the genesis coupe. I can attest to the awesomeness of the new miata, ****in sweet.

Off topic but has anybody seen the engine bay of the 370z?!? Looks like you'd have to pull the engine to do anything to that car it's so ****ing cramped.

Great car fun to drive and even more fun when you own one. There not a chick car there not a slow car. There a well built piece of machinery that will last you a long time. FTW

I like the sky/solstice but I don't see GM continuing them. I can see myself doing the miata thing. Seems like there is a lot of aftermarket support there.

You owe me a 10 second car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

S2k's can be modified, and fast, but you have to deal with vtec which is aggrivating if you boost.

Intake, exhaust, mild cam, and remap the car and where vtec kicks in, should be plenty for you.

Still slower than my MazdaSpeed3 though, but a cool(and fun) little car to own.

I was looking at the s2000 for awhile before I got my G35. Only thing that turned me off to it was insurance. Otherwise, great little car and roomier than I thought it would be. I'm 6' and fit fine.

Bullshit *******. What do you run 13.9? Maybe.

Say hello to my little friend. It ended up pulling a 10.40@ 140

Especially since Saturn is going six feet under, and they have disbanded all of the GM high performance groups... This means no solstice GXP... And I also doubt they would keep the Kappa platform when it would only carry the solstice and they have to push all their efforts into more fuel efficient vehicles.

I love the Saturn Sky redline, would love to have one, but they are hardly practical cars...

As for the OP, I like the looks of the S2k's from the outside, the interior is too drab... And my 4 door car would smoke it on a track...
