Well to make a long story short, I have been obsessing over s2k's for quite a while now and I am actually contemplating selling the celi and getting one. One reason being that it has 235k miles on it. Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone knew of any sites with good info on s2ks, or if anyone could answer any of these questions.
-What's a good year to get? (yes I realize that's an extremely general question but I don't know how else to word it) -What year did they start making them? -What would be considered a good price on a used, but still good condition s2k Thanks, -Josh This post has been edited by gt_driFFter: May 8, 2005 - 10:13 PM |

QUOTE(darksecret @ May 9, 2005 - 7:19 PM) I was wrong, it's about a $7,000 difference. This is from Car and Driver when they did a comparison against the Elise and the S2000 only beat the Miata by 3.5 seconds at BeaveRun. So $7,000 in mods and you have a car that isn't far from smoking an NSX. Do you actually think they take a stock Miata engine and slap a turbo on it, of course not, they don't take a 3SGE and slap a turbo on it, without replacing the internals. Factory turbo cars tend to have stronger parts simply because if the stock parts fail, the manufacturer is liable. If you like the Miata then it's one of the best bang for the buck roadsters, besides I think the Mazdaspeed Protege is crap (i'll take a Sentra SE-R) so it's not that i'm all about Mazda either. [right][snapback]284832[/snapback][/right] I understand what you mean. and the mx5 is an awsome lil car too. BUT the s2k is by far better stock. and for some people its much easier to buy a car that is better stock and has a better base, so they can do simple mods. To be honist, i n\said i would never buy a honda, but im thinking hard about buying an s2k soon. |
