Nice sig... how do you like the A3? and the RS4? I have a great deal of respect for both

 

Not to go too far OT, the A3 is a great little car - fun, quick, good mileage, and lots of compliments on the looks. The RS4 is a beast - I love it....

 

i cant beleive you got rid of you 997S for the rs4.

 

They're just cars - I'll get another P-car at some point...

Back on topic - The S2000 will go down as a classic. It was built in the same plant as the NSX, had a specific chassis, engine, etc. It is such a great car - not to mention the 100% reliability, the $25 oil changes, etc.

 

Indeed, 100% reliability w/ 9k redline... I don't know of any other production cars that can claim that.

And highest hp/liter among all N/A 4cyl.

 

I had an 04' really fun car. Second only to the Cayman and I had to think about that.

 

Heh found this old thread. Dunno if the OP ended up buying one or not. I'll be in the process of selling my '04 s2k (with 19,300 miles) here for a 911 c2 (as soon as I find one I like).

S2000 is definitely a fun car. Only problem is of course the lack of low end grunt. It's definitely not a good car to take on long drives though. The interior noise level is pretty high. You hear the wind, engine, and the road. At 75mph, you're around 4K rpms in 6th gear.

 

It's a fun little car, but I could barely fit in it. What is even more crazy is that people are doing Supra Turbo motors swaps in it. Some have claimed that the driving dynamics haven't changed even with the swap. Interesting!

 

I had an 01 with a spoon motor conversion and volks...Nice little car it was but again I was 19...I would do it all over gain if I could

 

Glad to see this thread revived, as I've been thinking about picking one up recently. Recent developments mean it may now be further away than I thought, sadly.

Scott, have you gotten a chance to drive one yet? I've driven one of each the AP1 and AP2 now. The AP2 was okay, but it just seemed like it was over so fast. 6,8,shift,6,8,shift. The AP1 was a lot more fun, I thought, though admittedly, I did push it a bit harder when I drove. The 9k redline was much more enjoyable, letting me savor it a bit more, and more importantly, I got to play around with the rear end without any sort of electronic nannying kicking in. Supposedly the AP1 is a bit more squirrly. Whatever it was, I liked it! Maybe I just went too easy on the AP2. But that engine! 9k is awesome.

They seem to hold pretty well once they get down to $16-18k. After that, you really have to pile the miles to get them lower... At least, that's what I've garnered from looking around here.

 

I had 2 AP1 and now AP2, fun little car..

 

i think the hip thing to do now is a 2JZ swap in those things, check out youtube, there are a ton of videos up with it. . .talk about a sleeper

 

I drove an 04 and RIPPED it...Drove it on the edge, awesome car. I'd like to pick one up, they are so nimble. yes you need to rip on it to get the power, but who cares, its a honda, thats how you get the power.
