Default From Evo to s2k

Like the tittle says. I sold my 05 Evo GSR, 2 months ago trying to pick up something more comfortable and luxurious. My choices where, G35, Audi A6 Lexus GS400. However, I have always liked the S2k's. One test drive was all it took. power wise it does not match the Evo, but the S2k really has a punch to it and is a very quick car. Not to mention the handling and above all the TOP DOWN! lol. I had sellers remorse over my evo for about a month, till I purchased this machine. I live in NOVA and had to drive 7 hrs. to upstate NY to get her. The reason why? the color conbo. GPW and Red was my all time fav color. below are some quick pix for you all. Thanks and you will be seeing more of me on this boards


2000 s2k picked her up with
Injen cold air
Blistein coils
will modify a bit more


Now for the pix:

Nice car! Enjoy the twisties!

Not a fan of Evos, but have respect for them. Easily made to be very fast.

Interesting you moved from a white Evo to a white S2K. I recently bought a red S2K, but kept my red Evo!

Welcome to S2ki! Haha, funny I did the same thing. I sold my 03 Evo (also white) and got a mint 05 AP2. There are certain aspects of the Evo I'll miss, particularly the power but the S is such a difference experience all together. Have fun and drive safe!

I was looking at C5 vettes, G35/G37 coupe, 350z, Evo IX, mk3 supras, mr2 turbos, etc. etc. before I picked up the S2000. It was a huge range of cars. I just wanted back into a sports car.

The Evo is like being in an arcade game. Sure it's faster but it's not a pure driving experience. You've got a bunch of computers making the wheels do all kinds of crazy things so you go faster. The S and the mr2 turbo are an extremely raw driving experience. No traction control, no fiddly electronics, no trick AWD system, no BS. It's just you and the car. I don't find front-biased AWD terribly engaging either. Tossing the car about like it's a ragdoll is awkward and makes it feel like a toy.
