Hey Jody - you've got good taste.

Thanks for the kind words. With so much sun lately - the S2000 has been getting all the miles. Too bad my car has ugly grey calipers.

lol... I'm afraid that lapping days might turn the pink into ummm... scarlet or some such weirdness!

I might just go black on the calipers since they do look pretty nasty right now...

I was going to sell my beloved S and get an Elise but I'm leaning towards keeping and getting a hardtop for track days since some of the clubs are requiring metal hardtops now.

I think this point could be argued. I have a 500+ rwhp S2000 and it is very driveable in traffic, on the road and at the race track. Currently boosting 1.35 bar .

Your car may be the exception to the rule.

As another poster said I think the only "supercar" on this site is the CGT but since not many can afford that car we talk about all the other supporting cast cars.

In the Japanese category it depends on what you categorize as being exotic. If you are talking 500+hp then only the new GTR qualifies but........in terms of materials/design you cannot leave out the NSX or even the older R34 Skyline, Supra out of the equation.

Or the 3rd gen RX-7. Depending what you're looking to do with the car, there are many others as well (auto-x, drifting, rally, racing, etc.). Also, many of these cars become true "animals" when they are modded.

- G35/G37/350z/300zx
- S13/S14/S15
- R32/R33/R34/R35
- S2000
- WRX/STi/GC8
- NSX
- Supra/MR2
- Stealth/3000 GT

Of course these cars aren't super rare or european, but for some of us, they're the best driving experience that fits the budget.
