m4a1mustang's 5.0, S2000, and other cars thread

Good news! My Team Voodoo shift knob for the S2K was just delivered to the office:

This is the same style I had in my 370Z.

Yeah it's a little silly, but they are high quality pieces, great finish, and aren't expensive. $41 for this knob.

nice knob

Ahhh sh*t you had to get red didnt you! Should of gotten blue! I modded the sh*t out of my S so if you need any inside info on what works and doesnt give me a shout! Also if you plan on staying N/A gut the OEM intake box and put in a performance filter. The OEM box makes the most HP of all the intakes besides PWJDM and J's both of which will run you around 3k...

good buy and happy modding bro!

I think navtool makes something for the backup camera for the S, but PM Jeffblue to make sure

In all seriousness though, that is a sexy car. I have always had a thing for the s2000.

Why were you being threatened and heckled? Were you driving in some redneck hick town or something?

What do you think about interior room for the s2000? I thought, and still thinking, about buying one as a daily driver and track toy. They're very cheap right now. But that tight claustrophobic interior, lack of torque, and noisy engine give me the distinct feeling I won't be happy during those long commutes in rush hour traffic.

Unique_Z · 02-13-2012, 12:53 PM

Both rides are looking great Steve!

TreeSemdyZee · 02-13-2012, 01:02 PM

Nice choice!

Back in 2000, I chose between S2000 and Celica. Bought Celica.
In '06, chose between S2000 and 350. Bought 350.
In '09, chose between S2000 and 370. Bought 370.

I think I need an S2000.

if m4a1mustang doesn't mind the lack of torque, i'm sure you would notice it even less.

ZMan8 · 02-13-2012, 01:43 PM

Great color choice and nice set of cars you got there. I think one day i would love to get a roadster like an s2000 or mx-5. Both cars are super fun I hear.

Steve, What are the plans with the S-2000?

If those are your concerns, the s2000 isn't the car for you. It's a sports car...you seem to be looking for something else entirely.

No. So what's with Philly? According to wikipedia they vote democrat so they can't be that bad. But I'm canadian, so maybe i'm missing something.

yes. i want a car that's fast and competent on the track while being easy to live with on a daily basis. i only have room to park 1 car so that car should be the best of both worlds. a 370z did that. right now I'm considering used m3. an s2000 would be a great toy and weekend car, not so good as a daily driver.

i was thinking he was being heckled by the buy-american jap-is-crap crowd which doesn't seem likely in a northern democrat state. was that the case?
