Steven Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 buy a car that'll look nice, but not cost you a **** load to repair. a car is a car, it'll get you from point a to b, no matter what it is. sure the bigger cars are nicer. but are they neccesary? j MO. i own a 2001 Honda Civic EX, sure it takes a bit to get up to speed, but it looks nice and didn't cost me my lif e savings. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknik Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 I dont know whats with this, but when Im driving the s2000 at AROUND 95+ on a track it has no problem going 90 to 100 quickly. But low end is OK. You get 0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds. Which is very fast and respectable. Go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayrider Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Supra's were stopped in 98... so if you want one, ur getting it used and once again, u dont know much about cars especially one with 2 turbos, i wouldnt **** around with a supra if i were you... celica is a nice car, my friend had a GT, it was pretty fun to drive and pretty damn sexy inside :) i dont know about the other cars, i know the MR 2 is a mid engine why not a cadillac, if you want something nice personally i think these look f---in pimp in real life, pictures do the car no justice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezza Veteran Posted August 15, 2002 Veteran Share Posted August 15, 2002 S2000 is a nice car, I'll give it 7/10 :) Above 6000rpm the car is fast, below 6000rpm the car does not seem to have enough pulling power. I don't like the digital speedometer, can't read the digit during bright day (especially if the the speedometer is exposed under direct sunlight). Should shoehorn a turbo or supercharger if necessary :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aco Veteran Posted August 15, 2002 Veteran Share Posted August 15, 2002 S2000's rev hard - 240 bhp @ 8300 rpm. :) Nice looking car aswell, sort of taken over from the Prelude (...don't know why Honda discontinued that awesome car). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right though - especially the 200SX and Silvias, there's alot more of them on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I still like Celica, it seems that Celica is also sluggish in terms of performance compared to turbocharged cars like 200SX and WRX. Anyway it seems 200SX have taken the crown for medium sports car market :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baphomet_irl Veteran Posted August 15, 2002 Veteran Share Posted August 15, 2002 the S2000 is a very nice car, but apparently the Civic Type R has almost the same performance, and I think thats cheaper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iCe_2x Posted August 15, 2002 Author Share Posted August 15, 2002 The new civic type R looks to much like a hatchback... [..o wait..it is..] and I never liked anything with that big of a back..I just think it looks f*cked up...I've made my decision..the s2000 looks decent...but im not buyin a care till late 2003/ early 2004..so maybe something better will come out...btw..if and when I buy it.. I know someone that can get me a decent deal on parts for example the hard top for it.... Thnx every1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Eckted Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Labtec Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Well if no M3, I would get the S2000 with a comptech supercharger for the lack of torque. If you look on the web, there's some guy who has 713 hp in the S2K thats still street legal. That's impressive for a 4 cylinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO anyway] cauz if it's not street legal..then it's prolly too fast and cops would be able to stop u ..but then again they would prolly out manuver u..so u'd be screwed eitherway:ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayrider Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 good luck and congrats on the car... once again, i emphasise the fact that if youre going to put aftermarket parts ie: supercharger or turbo's, please bear in mind theyre not for noobs to maintain and even drive :) youre not getting an automatic are you?

threetonesun Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Good lord...some one would have to be a genius to make an automatic system for that car. You know, you can get the Toyota MR 2 with paddle shifters now...and get it with a blue body and white seats, or red and green, or all sorts of cool color combinations. Plus, in 1.5 years the 350Z will be around, and maybe even the Evo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chick Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Take a Toyota Spyder for a ride. The interior is mostly plastic, but much better looking than that sounds. It is mid engined and compares favorable to the Boxster with enough money left over to service and buy gas for the life of two or three Spyders! The insurance rate is not insane, like a vett and at 32 MPG you can even feel a little smug about helping the enviroment and stuffing an oil company. Biggest down side is the lack of trunk space, but you can carry enough for a long weekend for two, behind the seats. They also do not come with a redar dectector as standard equipment. BUY ONE! It might not be the first car off the line, especially with a good looking blonde sitting next to you (they come as standard equipment).;), but I can stay with and pass cars costing 3 and 4 times a much on the back roads and still get a respectful move on a green light.

But the MR 2 (Spyder, same thing) has been around longer than the Boxster. Just, in a slightly different form. They run around $25k, I believe? And Chick, how big is the storage space, exactly? My dad has been looking at them, but he's worried that he won't be able to fit anything in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
