I like that thought process.


Op- if you can get over the gearbox and the rough nature of the engine, I think you will find the z to be a great replacement.

The Z engine seems smooth to me, but that's compared to my S2000. You need to tell yourself that you're stealing the car to get all the power out with the S.

I might be spoiled by having the auto though. There is an obvious disconnect from me to the engine, something I wouldn't have with a manual. At least when there are dorks on the road in commute traffic I can put the car in Dork mode.

Thanks for all the replies guys been very helpful..im starting to like this forum and community already..without a doubt i think my smartest decision would be to go with the Z. I think i may go with a lightly used z and mod it i already have the itch for it

The engine is much rougher compared to the smoothness of the F20C. You do have to rev the S engine, but it's smooth all the way up. The Z is definitely much torquier, even relative to the AP2.

Definitely test drive one. You will have to see if it works for you. I think it is about as close as you will come to a new S2K right now.

NONE OF THOSE CARS maybe besides the NSX in the "CLASS" of the s2000. "Z" FTW!
