hink it's called the S2000 CR. A/C, radio & power steering optional.
Because that's your opinion. Not everyone jumps "ugly, 4 door, turbo engine, glass transmission bandwagon. Not everyone is willing toturn down what they really like for the cars that everyone else likes.
Are you serious? Teens in the city and 20ish on the hwy is not good gas mileage.
S2000s are still getting mid 20s in the city and touchinhg 30 on the hwy.
Best mpg to date in my car is 29 city and 39 hwy. And that's with the supercharger installed.

I not comparing the ss/sc with the s2k because we all know the results but he was asking witch car would be better, if he has the money to buy and s2000 IMO its a lot better (comparing to a 350z BMW z4 and even a porche boxter which cost way more than the s2k except the 350z)
and the only reason i said that the s2k has been on the market for 8 years is because honda have only made few upgrades to the s2k and newer cars can't still match the s2k

what I meant was if he was to purchase the balt with 15k left as a difference there's alot that can be done to that car to put a s2k to shame. With stage 2 and minor mods he can already be as fast or faster than a stock s2k. But if you're will to spend 35k on a stock car thats not much faster than one thats 15k cheaper why not get the cheaper one and hook it up. You can get suspension, power, and styling upgrades and still have spent less than 35k and get better performance and more power. If he buys the s2k he's 35k down and all he has is a stock car that pushes decent hp. Thats the way I look at it when comparing those 2 cars

yeah I know...I can't say anything bad about that though because I never had an issue with a GM car. I read some of the horror stories on here and I never had any of those issues(knock on wood...lol). I still got a cavy I drive with 160k on it and no problems with it. But, also Honda's aren't 100% either. I got a couple friends with civics, and I've seen them get out and start kicking their cars because they start messing up and one of there's was around 60k on it. Or if you go to honda tech forums they got some hellacious problems on there too.

Is it even possible to get a sky rl without a wait now? Thats they only reason I would be looking at the s2000. My buddys dad had to pay 40k cash to get one back in october to avoid waiting 9-12 months to get one. Its a nice car but I couldnt wait that long for one.

S2000!!!, why is this even a question, buy a used s2000 and swap in the 2JZ and ur laughin.
silly hondas, v-tec is for bitches
There's a reason that the s2000 is rated one of the best cars almost every year. My only complaint would be the engine, which as stated above can be fixed.

the S2000 is a great car! The ss/sc is far more practical than the s2000 though, but i f that doesnt matter.... The s2000 is a faster car overall. But the aftermarket market....for the s2000 is alot more expensive than what u would find with ss/sc...idk both very good choices...

Can't get much more RICE than this.
Why the hell did you buy a Cobalt if this was your lame ass mentality??? At the very least you should have bought an SRT-4, at the most you should have bought an old 5.0 Mustang.
stock for stock, s2000>>>ss/sc in every way, modding goes to the s2000 too. Like the guys said earlier if you are going to be a ricer and bring up money, why don't you bring up resale value?
