Well, it depends on what you mean by "better." Faster? Handles better? Isn't a chick car?

S2k is hardly a chicks car.
More like a chick magnet.


Ha ha OK. Go hop into your Miata now.

Crossfire. (Although, there is no convertible in the 2004 line up, but there is in the 2005).

ahhaahahahahahahahahahahaha!!

What is wrong with it? Sure it is a bit slower, looks great to me though.

everybody here is a hater,
I think if you got a good price on it, it's an excellent weekend car. Fun to rev, fun to drive, overall top down driving fun. You'll probably keep it forever... it's just one of those instant classic cars

Who are you talking to? If it's the S2K guy, don't they run around the same time as a WRX or very slightly faster? BTW, I didn't even know the 05's were out yet. Did they change anything?

The only thing WRX has is the launch and the lower end. S2k will own it in the top end.

Nothing WRONG with it, but I thought it was a lot more, and its not S2000 by any means.

And what do you see on the road more... let the numbers speak for themselves!

OK...where to start:

1 - I'm hardly jealous of a little pocket rocket S2K. If I was going to blow that much on a car, it wouldn't be that one.

2 - I drive a Mustang GT actually. Pretty highly modified and would leave an S2K sitting at the light, which is basically the reason I don't like them. I'm into speed and for the money, the S2K just doesn't have enough of it. Yeah I'm sure that Honda has better build quality but I'll take my plasticky interior if it means I can go fast for not a lot of money.

3 - I have no problem getting puntang but thanks for ASSuming. My GF is an RN at the hospital I work at and we couldn't be happier. However, if I WAS so shallow and unattractive that I needed to pick up chicks with my car like you apparently do, then yeah I might need to go buy an S2K for that. My GT is Canary Yellow though and I've had plenty of compliments from girls.

So basically, you just got pwn3d.

So go ahead, rag on my Mustang and I'll sit here and laugh at you because I really don't care what you have to say. :)

First, there's nothing wrong with a Miata or a S2k...... they'll take your mustang anyday on a road course or autocross...

Second, you don't tell someone they got pwn3d by you..... someone else says it

Third, you still live in West Virginia, so...... enuff said :laugh:

First, this may come as a shock but I actually owned a Miata. I sold it to get my GT. The Miata was a red 1997 with the Jackson Racing supercharger and various other mods so you don't have to tell me what one will do at an autocross. I have nothing against Miatas really, I just know that they are commonly referred to as chick cars and having owned one I felt I was justified in saying whatever I wanted to about one. Oh and yes, a stock Miata/S2K would outhandle my GT, but as I said I don't care about the twisties too much...but if I did, there are literally hundreds of aftermarket suspension parts available for Mustangs and if I wanted to spend the money on handling then I could remedy any shortcomings there.

Second, I don't care what the "rules" for geektalk are. :p

Third, if you have to use my location as something to pick on me about, you've already lost the argument. :roll:

:laugh:

You're still on this? :laugh:

Yes, please...PLEASE stay in NYC because if everyone there is a condescending prick like you, you can stay in your rat infested hellhole where there are way too many people and way too much crime. I'll stay here with my toothless(?) inbred(?) hillbilly(?) buddies if it means not having a$$holes like you around. Kthx.

GOOD. Oh and have fun paying way too much for housing, but since you're an ivy league prick (wannabe) I'm sure you can afford it.

Like someone else said you should have bought or taken lessons on stick, it's not as easy as you think. you clutch is very fragile and would not suggest experimenting with it either.

Hm, so does anyone have any suggestions on the whole buying a used car from a private party ? ... Just wondering if the wire transfer he's asking for is something I should think twice about.

Roar Miata is a Gay mans car! (Most popular car for the vain gay male)

S2k with the HP per liter and the great balance is a great car for the money.
