True...but it still bothers me when these cars are cut up. I guess it's because there are only so many of them around. So, if I want another, and I probably will at some point, it's gonna be hard to find an unmolested one. There really isn't another car like it...meaning a reliable pure sports car with an incredible chassis.

For us OGs thats where its at now. Still have my original 02 and only use it for track days. Back in the day meets were truly special events attended bu mature people. I'm not sure there will be a car that will give me the excitement and feeling the s2000 did in its glory days. Dent days in Hunting Beach were my favorite Great people great times but even still today, that joy and excitement has shifted to the track scene. 40 years old now..I was 23 when I bought this car!!! lol time flies!

So nice to see the OG's around and driving this amazing vehicle! Nice to see you all visit S2ki once in a while. I'm going to see if can locate some photos from when I first started my S2K journey and going to a few BBQ's and meets. Still some of the best looking S2K's around back then belonged to Duc of Spugen and RedAt9 Greg. Maybe some of you remember their S. Good times!

Same here... The S is used as a track car only, although now I really would like another one to drive on the street haha

I understand, volcomSNOWS2K. I'm on my 3rd S2000 after my first new one in March 2001. Times certainly do change.

I have one that is modified (pic in signature) and I found a rare 2003 UNMOLESTED SSM, all stock minus the head unit. All panels have matching VINS.

The stock AP1 is a blast to drive. I love that car. I've had multiple people asking to buy it. Not letting her go anytime soon.

My friends whom use to own S2K's, some are now driving Aston Martin's, Ferrari's etc. I still drive and own my original S2000 and perfectly happy!
I left my 3rd S2K in 2014 and last time I showed up at a meet threw by a friend was this Jan. It was ok but definitely not what it used to be. And only 4 years has past. Admittedly, after a bunch of Porsches and an AMG / R8 / 458 I've moved onto Mclaren. I am back here looking for an S2K to mod / track / daily Maybe I'll throw us old schoolers a meet where douchebagery isn't allowed.

well, that's quite the list of cars.

how would you compare the turbo s vs. gt3?

i guess throw in a comparison with the r8 and 458 while you're at it.

and then perhaps the mclaren as well.
