Thanks for your answer. The Nismo part confuses me. Is it really in the B class?

I saw a fellow selling a set of sport wheels. I assume I would want his rears on the front of mine to run a square set up or would I want the fronts on rear or something else all together?

If it was me, I'd be running rears all around. They're very aggressive up front, but a 10" front rim makes the car absolutely nasty. With good tires, the grip limits are unbelievably high--will probably leave your balls as the limit, rather than grip |

A bit of an update for me (relevant to this topic).
This past weekend I sold my '05 S2000. I bought it new and put about 50k miles on it. It was babied (looks and drives like new) so I got top dollar for it (above retail value), hence why I sold it. It was a good deal for the buyer too because it still had warranty and was never modified. Not a single accident either. Now a few days later I find myself filled with regret. I love my Z so don't get me wrong, but I miss the S a lot. I ride sport bikes but only on weekends. The S was like riding a sportbike during the week. Truly an amazing experience! So now I'm hunting for a used S2000. My budget is fairly low because I want to build more of a track car with it this time but there will be one sitting in my garage again soon. I'll have my Z for a long time, but I'll probably always have an S. |

^the S always kinda feels like "the one that got away" whenever you sell it. Just a truly special car. I plan to buy another one once things settle down a little for me.

Great to get some extra cash, sad to see the car go. If I could reverse the decision I would, but I'm going to try an AP1 this time around. |

I want an ap1 for the fun but I want an ap2 because I think the insides are nicer.

I'm looking for a 2002-2003 with average miles, good condition, etc. I'll probably just throw a set of coil overs on the car, 17's that are not too expensive and some good rubber. As for brakes some cooling ducts, slotted rotors, good brake pads and fluid and it should be a good car for track events. If it was my DD then AP2 for sure. However, the Z is my DD now. |

I hate you guys, always making me spend money.
I was thinking about supercharging the 5.0 and daily driving an s2k. I'm very practical.

to me when people reference the 370 as being "all power" i just shake my head because although it does have some power behind its 3.7 liter v6, its a car whose repuatation is built more on the design, the heritage with handling exc....
as to the Mustang whose history is more geared for the "power" aspect. after all.... the mustang is referred to as "old school american muscle" go with the 370. you wont be disappointed.
