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 think Car and Driver's opinion holds more water than mine, I know I was talking about a rotory, it was a statement, I am not the one who took the 350Z Roadster to the track and ran it against the S2000, that is why Car and Driver, Motortrend, and all the other review companies are there, if nobody listened they wouldn't bother. I have driven the S2000 and I didn't like it, but I can honestly say the same for the Miata, i'm 6'2" so it's a little too cramped for me. I wasn't showing off, I was giving other options and giving facts based on un-biased roadtest, and in all actuality Car and Driver will admit they are biased towards Hondas and Fords, yeah I figured you would have mentioned the weight, just because the car is heavy doesn't mean the thing can't handle, look at the '99 Skyline, it's a boat but it handles nicely. There are too many biased Honda nuts on here, I never said they were bad just over rated, my staement was unbiased and I even brought in the pros, if you don't believe me check for your self. I've driven most Hondas and Acuras and they never feel like they have the power they claim, maybe it's the lack of torque but that is how it is with me. I feel the same towards mid '90s DSMs also, they are good but they have a lack of low end power. Woah and over 4,000 what kind of behemoth are you planning on cramming in that car, fully loaded, with the kitchen sink is 3536, try 3,225 for the manual with a 53/47 weight split. Like I was saying dollar for dollar, the 350Z Roadster has it. If you had to choose between a roadster and coupe for autox wouldn't you take the coupe even though it's only about 50lbs. less.
