I'd try one of these and a one year old S2000 (plus another 5000 or so)

Corvette ZO6 parked next to S2000 because I would keep both.

Damn, hard to pass on the Z06, but I think I would buy an air-cooled turbo 911, and use the leftover cash for wheels, tires, exhaust, etc.

You need to understand that the only way to get that amount of power from a 2.0 I4, is to either charge it or lose the low end.
You would think, since Honda is using a technology that allows the engine to essentially have multiple cam profiles, that they would use one profile with low-end torque and one with high-end power, not the low-end economy and high-end power cams they currently use. I assume they did what they did for emissions and fuel economy, like always, but fuel economy should not be the defining characteristic of a sports car.

I'd have to admit that a Z06 and a mullet for 50K would be hard to pass up. . . .

But give me an S2000 and a Yamaha R1 and I'd still have $9K left to blow on coke and whores.
