To pearlcoupeg35 . . . you have two very sick cars. I love both the EVO and S2K, and the EVO is on my list as a future daily driver.
How would you compare the S2K's nimble RWD platform to your EVO's incredible AWD performance?
Coming for the 350Z . . . those two are very different cars to my own.

The Evo is tough to compare to ANY car imho (except sti) because its just SO GOOD at what it does - turn and GO! haha The steering on the Evo is like nothing else i have ever driven. Its light, its responsive, and is just all around perfect! The power delivery is great too - obv there is lag - but not too bad...and once it hits you better be ready because this little car moves! The AWD def keeps you glued and gives your confidence a serious boost. I would say that on a back road blast, the Evo would DESTROY the S2000 all things considered.
With that said, after about a week of ownership of the S2K i must say that the level of refinement is just sick in the S. The gearbox is BY FAR the best i have ever used, the steering is very "true" and feels great on a twisty, PA backroad, and the clutch/brake/gas pedals all seem to be perfectly positioned for fun/spirited driving. The power of the S2K is there - but you have to rev the **** out of the thing to get there...which is by NO MEANS a bad thing
Overall, both cars are great...and to be honest, the combination of the two makes the other that much better. Without the Evo to drive i would feel 'slow' in a the S2K...but without the S2K to drive i would feel cheap in the Evo
I hope this makes sense??? hahahaha

It does everything very nicely, but IMO in no way is it worth it's 75k asking price. There are many other vehicles i would take over it for that price.

I would certainly keep my S2K and scoop up a CTT though
That would be a sick combo imho!

I would love to keep the Evo as my 'monster', the s2000 as my drop top and then scoop up a nice SUV (Escalade, CTT, G500,etc) and then have an exotic as well. Maybe in a few years
I also am maxed out on parking right now so i have no choice I will never own a sport bike - i cant be trusted on those things.....
Thanks for the comliments tho, i am VERY pleased with my setup right now...and the mods are flowing in as we speak
