Default s2k v. c5 vette

i'm thinkin of selling my MY03 s2000 for a 99-02 vette.

what do u guys think? the only things i can think of


s2000
Pro: smaller, better handling during canyon drives (which i love), i love driving it its fun. will last for loads of miles.
con: its slow... and no torque... i want something faster with a nice punch

the same: about the price of gas and maintanence. and insurance will be the same also (i checked)

C5 vette
Pro: faster, better looking IMO, its a vette
con: doesnt handle as well, cant goto canyons (as fast as s2000), doesnt last as long (or will it if u take care of it and dont abuse it, and change its oil orderly, etc)


thanks.

Unless the C5 you speak of is a Z06, I wouldn't do it.

NO comparison...I've had 3 S2k's (and may in time get another), but I made the switch and have NO regrets...I LOVE mine!! And if taken care of, the C5's are good for 200K miles. Don't plan on buying one and burning the tires off it...those rear Goodyear run flats are approx $950 for the pair...Can make tire buying a painful experience...
