Default C63 AMG to Honda S2000 AP1

Greetings!

I Currently have a 2009 C63 AMG and just picked up a 2000 Honda S2000.

unfortunately i cannot afford both, so the Mercedes is leaving!

The Mercedes is a fantastic car that has never given me a lick of trouble. it had 540HP and a glorious glorious V8.
the car owed me nothing, but the only way to really enjoy it was at speeds of 200-300KM/H (which it got to very quickly)
however i did still miss the manual gear box that mercedes woefully did not provide for the C63...
I wanted a bit more liquidity with my money and have always wanted to pick up an S2000.

I am young with no children and figured this summer would be a perfect time to buy one.

anyways, here is my very first Honda!!

its a 2000 Silver exterior Black interior with 130,000KM

Welcome! Great looking rides. I picked up an 02 last weekend and it's been a blast. It’s one of the most visceral and raw cars I’ve ever driven. Never owned an AMG, but I imagine your annual maintenance bills will be cut into a quarter! I did a bunch of maintenance last weekend (basically all fluids and filters) and it was the same cost as maintaining our CR-V. Can’t beat that….welcome again!

Nice pickup, if you have curvy roads nearby you'll definitely enjoy it, well and even if not.

I sense that your first mod will be a supercharger considering the slight drop in power.

Congrats on your purchase.
