Default Hi ricers I come from the dark side ;)

Hope that got your attention hehehehe

Over the past few weeks I found myself madly in love with the S2000. Its the perfect car. After realizing I'm only 22 and love small, light great handling cars, I started narrowing down what car would be the best to get as a weekend driver/racer.

First I was thinking of cars like the E30 M3s, Datsuns or early Supras. Then I realized they are too old and I don't want to deal with rust and maintenance issues. I'd love a car that I could just put the top down and cruise and at the same time take to the track if I wanted.

So came the narrowing down procces:

Miata: Cant get past looks but really cheap & moddable. Still can't get past stigma.
M Roadster: Already got a e36...
Boxster: Engine in back, a Porsche and sounds great. But can't get past stigma.
Corvette: Too big for me, Otherwise I'd consider it.
350z: Way too expensive, and heavy


Well here is a pic of my existing car, it's a 1995 BMW 318i that is supercharged. Also has 3.45 LSD, 6000k HID and leather interior. AC Schnitzer wheels, kit and Koni shocks/ Eibach springs.

Small dick, label whore, pretentious prick, secretary, couldn't afford a 911, etc, and thats just the stereotypes. Lets talk about reliability, maintainence, etc.

Regardless the S2000 is a fantastic car. Welcome and enjoy S2ki!

Looks like we are in the same boat. I just came from the Bimmer world as well. I just bought an '04 S2K. I was MeFryRice on Bf.c and had an E36 M.

Oh cool stuff.. Did you sell your M? I don't think I could ever do that.

The M is pretty much in the same boat performance wise though. My 318 only has 160 rwhp, and about 140 ft lb of torque at the wheels, even with the supercharger. I put too much money into that thing as you can tell lol.

Those sound like stereotypes of an S2000 owner

S2000 is the best out of all those vehicles, maybe not the 350Z
