worst case scenario you might be buying 2 sets of rears(1g) and 1 set front(300) on tires alone.

In a few months, it will be time for me to turn in my current ride (Lexus SC430).
What do you think of the SC430? I'd be interested to learn what features of the S2000 you like better.

My take on the SC430:
Pros: Decent V8 power, alot of hi-tech toys (nav, speed adjusting stereo, xenon lights, speed and water sensitive wipers), nice leather, of course the power roof that is a hard-top, the stereo is the BEST that I have ever listened to, not only do the "girls" look, but so do their moms ;-) Also, the small back seats are a plus.

Cons: Very wide profile tires follow every groove in the road, tires tend to feather in the rear, suspension tuned for luxury-not sport.

I find the S2000 to be more of a "fun" car. It surely lacks the electronic toys and space of the SC430, but I imagine that every drive is a thrill. While the S2000 is missing torque, it still can be rewarding to those who know how to play VTEC style.
