Just don't evolve into a Mitsubishi Evo. The S2000 is more fun to drive and looks 10x better.

 

Have you spent much time in a S60R yet? It's not a terribly well sorted car I looked seriously at one earlier this year, but ultimately decided against it.

 

i haven't spent much time in one yet, no. I like the idea of the car, but I agree, I need to get some driving time in.

 

I just think that, for what they're asking, they could have done a much better job with the S60R. The balance of the car and the gear box were especially disappointing to me.

 

S60R is moderately fast in a straight line, but handles like trash, you're much better off snagging a used E39 M5 or E55 in my opinion, PM me if you would like me to elaborate.

I also own a E46 M3. The S60R with a Chip/downpipe and exhaust SPANKS my M3 from any speed it's extremly fast straight line now.. Stock it's already crazy fast straight line. Now with the 4 C system set to Advanced with sway bars (front/rear ) with springs the car handles amazing! Just as good as my M3.. very good bang for $$ IMO better car for the $$ than a M3 Or S4

 

Interesting....I didn't find the stock car "crazy fast"....but then the car I drove was a lease-return, so who knows? With a chip, downpipe, and exhaust, do you have any guesses as to what kind of power the car is putting down at the wheels?

 

Just went to the Honda website and looked up the S2000, but they don't state the weight on the full specification sheet. How much do the damn things weigh?

 

2005 S2000 curb weight is 2835, on Edmunds.com.

 

Yeah, that weight is definitely in the ballpark of the true weight. Most people see 2750ish for the earlier cars (with some fuel in it) and slightly more for later generations. Light for a new car, but no Miata!

 

Yeah, but miatas are ugly, though. The only time I would pick a miata over an S2k is if I was doing spec racing. And even then, there's an S2k spec series coming out.

 

thats an amazing deal but 05 isnt considered new..an 06 is new.. how many miles were on it???
