Forgot I even posted that, but I still stand by it. Z stays over the 86, would add the 86 at the right price.

I love driving my s2000 even though its painfully slow. So its not all about power, but it is nice to have the 5.0 and clk500 when I need HP/torque.

What did an S2k cost brand new? It was a 30k car.

I like the BRZ/FRS, I like the S2k, I like the Miata, I like the Elise. Power is only part of the performance car experience.

Saw a black one in person yesterday, and I must say, it's definitely got potential. I'd have to see them modified, but no, I would not trade the Z in for it.

And there's no way in hell I'd pay $30k for an S2000. :)

:icon17: Me neither, but that was 30k in early-2000's bux. Inflate that to 2012 bux, that puts it around 35k-ish? These cars are as fast for 28k. The problem? No drop top. Even then, 28k is the top price. You can get into one for 25k or so.

yea man, i didnt read the whole thread, but thats my favorite response to the OP's original post, hehe. cuts through all the BS!

Red__Zed 06-04-2012 02:04 PM
Msrp on the s was closer to 35k.

AlphaSnacks 06-04-2012 02:38 PM
Yeah the S2000 was surprisingly expensive compared to how bare bones it was.

Bare bones yes, but if Honda actually charged enough to make a profit on the S2000s (they lost money on everyone they made, just like the NSX), they would have been closer to $50k (they were hand built after all). They were nearly perfect, the balance was unbelievable, truly the best car I've ever owned, better then my brand new Z (which I love, not knocking it one bit). The S did stock what everyone here who mods their Zs is trying to do (except for the horsepower part obviously).

I agree with most of what you said, except this part. The S was a different kind of car. Closer to a suped-up Miata than a Z. The Z is very bulky. It's practically a muscle car in comparison. I love the S, but 33k brand new was too much cost for what the car was, in my opinion.

When comparing the S to the Z, I tell my friends, "My S was like a pro figure skater, my Z is more like a pro hockey player!!!"

The S was pure precision, the Z is pure beef! I was Tim Allen caveman grunting all the way home from the dealership.
