Buy a corvette instead. It's like an s2k that didn't have its balls chopped off. Oh and plenty of trunk space for dead hookers or whatever it is that you need trunk space for.
A C5 vette isn't exactly in the same price range..
That's what I'm leaning towards. I think I end up saving around $1-2g after import duties, taxes, and fees.
you actually save a bit more than that. the price you see down in the states is the listed price, you could probably haggle for a few thousands more. if you have the time, importing one is definitely a better direction to head

That's true. I keep forgetting that there is some room for bargaining.
Looking at Honda Way in Abbotsford though, they have some really low mileage cars....if they're good cars, I don't mind paying a little more.

Or boost the vette and your back to square 1 smart guy. Most of you s2k fanboy corvette haters have never driven a corvette. If you want to live your life based on judging magazine photos of interiors good for you. Personally i'll take being able to do 70kmph in 6th gear, over having to kick in vtak to get out of your own way up a hill.

Alot of the S2K's at Honda Way are U.S imports,they mark the prices up really high,higher than anyone else,I am also in the market for a S2K,I've been to that dealership already,they are a ripoff.
You won't be paying a little more,you are going to be paying ALOT more if you buy from them.
So you've ruined the weight balance of the car and have admitted that the s2k can't keep up without an engine from another manufacturer. Thanks for playing.
Now jasonricerturbo, let me know when a 2jz makes 1000hp on pump gas no meth. 1750+hp on the 427 on 109 octane without swapping in another engine from a different manufacturer.
Remember anything you add the corvette can too. Now if you want to play the engine swap game welcome to 2300hp low boost.
Does the hardtop give you much more interior space since it goes around and "outside" the soft top? Does it help much in the way of road noise?
The hardtop does not give you anymore interior space,not any you will notice anyways.What it does do is,keeps road noise down to a minimum and keeps the heat in during cold weather.

I'm not saying I would swap the 2jz into a S2k, merely pointing out that I thought that was a retarded arguement altogether. I believe the S2k is a great car the way it came from the factory, it's more than fast enough to keep me amused.
Since when is 109 pump gas? Where do you live?
This thread was never about vette vs S2k, so I'm not sure why vette-fanboys are in here trying to tell us how there car's are superior?
Nothing you can say about a vette changes the fact that the interior is about as fantastic as that of a Geo Metro.
Hardtop, the oem one is nice, aftermarket not so much... more suited to race car. The interior of oem hard top is nicely upholstered, and does create the feeling of a little more interior space. The soft top lets lots of noise in compared to a conventional hard top... the oem hard top cuts down on noise a lot.

Did you miss the period? 1000+ on pump 92 octane. Did that clarification help?
Driving the cramped2k the last thing I was looking at was the interior, I did really like the radio controls on the left. I guess there was time spent staring at the interior, as I was waiting for the revs to come up trying to make it up big hills. When your driving a fun responsive 2 seater sports car what the fuck are you doing mucking around with the interior? Go drive a 4 door and fiddle with your fancy interior while the kids are fighting in the backseat.

the vette will cost more than the s2k up front, but lets not kid ourselves, it WILL be faster. and you really dont wanna get into the 'bang for the buck' mod argument with someone running an LSx engine..

Thats hilarous coming from someone that lives in n.van, it's also nice when u want to pass the soccer mom in the suv without downshifting and sounding like your street racing.
For a daily, one would look for practicality, gas consumption, maintenance costs, reliabilty, ease of driving/parking, comfort, and most important, in my view, how the car makes you feel.
There's other factors as well, but if an S2000 fits the bill, why not dd one? Posted via RS Mobile
