Default Just got myself a new (used) S2000!

Hey all! Just finished the deal on getting myself a used 2005 NFR yesterday, and so far I'm loving it! I was fortunate enough to find a relatively low mileage one (40k miles) that was completely stock. Had to drive 400 miles to get it though.... so the drive back left it in bad need of a wash. I'll take some photos and upload in a week or two after I get time to do that

Just some random thoughts I had... I used to drive a 2000 Miata which I absolutely love. I was afraid to make the switch to the S because everyone was telling me about how the S is a bit lethargic in the lower rpms and things don't really get exciting until you hit VTEC. Well I must say from personal experience that even at 4k rpm in the S it has alot more pull than my Miata did, so if anyone is curious about that there's a direct comparison! Thats to be expected from a car that has 100 more horsepower and is also 5 years newer, but I was nervous before buying anyway.

Anywho, thats all for now, time to hit the sack so I can get up early for work to support my habit

That's good to hear, welcome on board!!

How does it compare to the mx5 in terms or steering feel / nimbleness?

Congrats on the new (used) ride! The S2000 is, as a friend put it, "...a whole lotta car compared to the Miata..." Enjoy the ride!
