yea dont SC the s2k until you drive a c5z (a few times)

Chris is right, they are actually incredibly comfterable and drive smaller than they look.

Save $$ and SC a ls-6 and now your talking.

Or save $$ and get an ls-7 c6

Im so glad i started this thread, might actually have an outlet for s2000 owners to upgrade! sick of all the e46/sti/evo/350z/frs dissapointments

EVO outhandles a TTRS stock vs stock. The ttrs has a garbage Haldex awd system with fwdesque understeer. EVO X has one of the best awd systems around next to the GTR.

Well the ttrs was brought up to counterpoint what offers vette level performance with an interior. Given the hard numbers and awd I'm sure the tt is a capable machine and has a nice interior to boot. Now will it necessarily out perform a vette? Or sti or evo etc, dunno, my money is on the vette, but still the point is made and a good one at that.

I prefer the added interior/cargo space, stability, and tire footprint of the C5 chassis. I can't think of any real benefits to doing that ex. perhaps a slightly better power to weight ratio, but less traction will offset it at slower speeds, and poorer aerodynamics will offset it at higher speeds.

well, to each their own lol im not exactly throwing in a 6.0L and leaving the car in stock form.

I did however have a blast test driving a torch red C5Z before i purchased my third S2000.
