Unhappy NSX or S2K?

Hey guys,
Welp, I've been through a Berlina AP1, and a Berlina AP2. But all I really want is a 04-05 AP2. Since it's so hard to find a clean unmolested GPW, I've been thinking of buying a later model NSX. They're around the same price and I was wondering what you guys thought. Should I get an 04-05 S2K, or 91-97 NSX? Thanks guys.

You want a car that's old enough to drive itself? Think about it...

Just hang in there you will find one. If GPW AP2 is what you ultimately desires. Then having patience and spend time searching for the right car will reward you greatly.

NSX is very nice too. You have to drive one if you are seriously considering one.

Even if it is bone stock early model, it still have high hevving 3.0L, decent torque. I love both S2K and NSX. Most of 97+ are T-top that weights ~150lbs heavier. Virtually impossible to get a 97+ coupe.

Do you want it, or do you own it? Your avatar says you already have one.

As someone who has owned both at the same time, I have to say both cars are clearly different. I think it really depends on your financial means to maintain each car. The NSX will be more expensive in all respects from insurance to maintenance and even gas. It is also significantly more expensive to modify and tune.

Also you have to consider how you will use the car. Is it a daily driver or weekend car. Will you park the car where it is subject to door dings and damage? My NSX was a Friday (to work) and weekend car. The S2000 was most every other time.

I loved both cars but the S2000 was more fun on the street. The NSX was more fun on the track. Only you can choose.

Good luck.

Both are great cars. I feel like being a little kid once in a while, so I like S2000 more hehe

The S2K feels more like a younger car, and NSX is more serious when it comes to performance ... imo
