Why get a car you already had. That being said, why don't you go with a car like the new M Coupe. Saw one today on a BMW dealership's floor in black....it looked damn good. I would say its probably S2000-like and more liveable as an everyday car since its not a convertible, has the torque of a six cyl, but its high-strung like the S.

get an STI. haha jk. depends on what you want and need. if you need space, then get an STI. if not S2000. If you want speed, get an STI. If not, then S2000 is fine. If you want looks, ONLY option is S2000. haha. but it just depends. both are really great cars.

The STI's are fast but they lack the feel of a sports car they are rather boxy and not very sporty. They are easy to make fast and handle well, but I would rather be in an S2000 than an STI anyday. I would def consider an Evo 9 before the STI even with the price difference.

Evo. there are a couple dealership giving them out for very cheap prices like south coast mitsubishi, and i think they're offering free shipping to anywhere in the States right now too. good luck.

I've got both and the S2000 is by far the better car IMO. The only area where the STi shines over the S2000 is power and straight line acceleration. Well, that and the fact that you have more space and AWD is great for snow, which is the primary reason I picked up the STi. Aside from that, the S2000 feels like a much better made car, feels better when cornering (i.e., way less body roll), and is simply more fun to shift and drive IMO.
Ironically, the one car that I'd willingly trade them both for is a C5 Z06.

Well I'm selling mine, lets cut a deal haha
Thanks for the advice all. I do have a daily driver car if I want to keep it and I also have a bike. I was thinking of narrowing down the vehicles to one car, but I really am starting to lean towards another s2000. The STI seems like an economy car with sport stuff thrown into it. The s2000 was designed to be bad ass.
Any of you go FI with the S? Heard you need to get cyrogenically gears or something.
