Would this be a good alternative?

Sounds to me like you just want to get into something new NOW. The s2k has always been one of my favs but honestly get into a s2kcr if your wanting an s2k if not wait and save your day will come.

Isnt the CR only difference is that it has a removable hard top and no soft top and has a spoiler/body kit?

No way in hell. AP2 S2K's with low miles go for $20k+

My budget would be $15k

The removable hard top wasn't a popular option and may make it a bit of a collectable nowadays - ie, more expensive for no performance gain. Personally, I prefer the hard top but not enough that I'd pay a lot extra for it.

The S2K does get a little light above 120 MPH or so. Spoilers might be desirable if you plan on driving very fast. If you don't get much above the speed limit, they are just more drag.

yah... should keep that $15k a little longer and save up.

czirrfb · 12-10-2014, 12:28 PM

Well the S2K isnt a very "fast" car in the first place, more of a quick, fun car. Unless you add a turbo then its fast haha. Same as the 350z.

I dont know if I can justify spending close to $30k on a 370z when I can get the honda for under half the price and have just as much fun.
