s1500 is going the wrong direction. If I wanted something like that I would just get a miata.

As I track more, don't really have fun driving around canyons. You really can't push your car on the canyon roads. I too once was one of those young noobs who thought you could, but it isn't anything close.

Another way of saying it: You can probably drive the s2k at 7/ or 8/10ths far more often than you can the Z.

That said, I have a Z, but an s2k was and is a close second if I had to downgrade the budget. (For perspective, I also have a beater DD...)
Ehh, I don't do anything crazy/stupid on the streets. You just really can't get to 7/10ths on public roads without being flagrantly unsafe. But even still, the s2000 is just so much more of a joy to drive than the g35. Maybe the steering input is more precise, maybe because it is just more nimble and responds quicker, maybe just because the seat is low and the driving ergonomics are better. But on the other hand, it is more frustrating to daily drive when you have no power.
