For $30,000 I would probably be getting the newest BMW 330ci I could get.

A good one Porsche 968 Cabrio.

just putting it out there:

THANK THE HEAVENS THAT HONDA MADE THIS CAR!

a WRX or god forbid an SRT-4. I liked the SRT better than all the other cars in the price range really (24-25k new). I didn't mind the interior so much and it drove well. but then I found a used S2K and I am damn glad I did.

Used Z06

When I purchased mine in 1999, there was nothing else. I still have it, still
like it, and there is still nothing else out there that I would rather have.

Would probably still have my 02 Civic Type R.

The only reason I sold it is becuase I wanted the S2000!

I had a modified 91 Miata before my S - if the S wasn't available I may have gone for the Mazdaspeed Miata - fun factor is right up there although actual speed performance is about 67% of the S ...handling, feel, perception yada yada are all there for considerably less than than 30K..

for more than 30K? 350Z Roadster? Boxter S? maybe even a TT with mods...

but fortunately I got & love the S.

I really liked the styling on the SLK. I was pretty interested in that until I found out how slow the thing is.

I would have looked pretty seriously at the Z3 or Z4, but probably wouldn't have been willing to plunk down the cash.

I probably would have settled for a Miata or an MR2 Spyder.

I doubt I would have considered it seriously at the time, but a Z06 would have been the best choice if now S2000.
