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.

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.
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.
