That's a good price brand new. You'd have to get a used s2k to match that price.

It's funny to feel torque, comming from the S. you'd think the Z is a lot faster.

It feels more comforatble too. It'd be nice on longer trips than the S.

'Grats on the purchase.

Yes, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the two in more depth.

My $0.02 is that I'd love if you could combine the low end torque of the Z with everything else from the S.

well so far i havent gotten a chance to feel the potential power for the Z as of yet but for torque...yea i can feel the difference compaired to the S but dam how i miss VTEC...nothing gets ur heart pumping like it! esp. at 9k!
