Would this be a good alternative?
So I really want a 370z, but I just simply can not afford one. I have always wanted a Honda S2000 since I was a teenager. And I have seen decent ones with between 60-80k miles for between $12k-$14k.
I was wondering if you guys would consider the S2000 a good vehicle to "settle" on? I know its an older vehicle and not as fast as the 370z but do you think it is a good enough car to purchase still? I feel like I can have more fun in the S2K and there are a ton of mod options, I could always turbo it later on to make more power. Plus its a Honda so its very reliable. And its still a beautiful looking car to this day. Last edited by czirrfb; 12-10-2014 at 10:23 AM. |

Even though the S is under-powered i've seen videos on youtube of track races and the S is right on the 370's *** the entire race. So its a very capable platform.

I do want the Z because I had a 350z and loved it, but while owning the 350z I always questioned my choice and wondered if I should have gotten the S instead.
They were basically brothers from other mothers to me. |

I know consumer report rated it with the highest insurance rate above some Mercedes. It must be a highly stolen car are very unsafe. Just my 2cents.
Wait and save your money for a year, they are dropping below 20k. |

The RX7 along with the Supra and NSX are iconic sports cars from Japan. The Z never hit the same status, that would be the GTR from Nissan. And the S2000 after the NSX is arguably the best sports car Honda has ever made.
RX8 is bogus. |
