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

I've already said I didn't compare it, Car & Driver did. C5 or C6, the C6 would give anything less than a Turbo a hard time, the new Z06 would decimate them all except maybe the Turbo S and GT2, I do recall this one C5 a few years ago that came in first at the Supercar Challenge, you know Linginfelter, the Prosche came in second, of course in a sense it would be like comparing a Vette to a 911 or 911 to Vette. With all this engineering the S2000 has and an aftermarket company like Mazdaspeed can make a stock Miata almost keep up with the S2000, also they put the turbo on it because they could handle it, Mazda has to warrant these cars, if they thought Mazdaspeed would send out faulty motors that would break down due to stress then after 100,000 miles all of them would be lemons, it doesn't work that way, the Mazda still has some heart left in that 1.8L.
