im about to buy an s2000, but my question is that ... should i get the 2002 one since it red lines at 9000rpm and it has more torque than the newer ones, or should i get one that like 2004-2005?

 

Totally personal preference. My suggestion? Get the nicest one that fits your budget. They are all great cars!!

 

is there a big difference in the torque from the 2002 and the 2003+?

 

Not really. The difference in torque comes from AP1 (2000-2003) to AP2 (2004+) with the AP2 having slightly more torque with the compromise of a lower redline. It's a matter of personal preference and you should drive both before buying one.

 

thanks ... ill do that

 

Correction. The newer 2.2 have more torque.

 

drive both and decide for yourself.

 

Just get the newest s2000 you can comfortably afford.

 

dissagree.

 

Buy what ever you get the best deal on. Ive seen a lot of nice 2000 - 2001 S2K's that were only weekend cars that are like new for around $16k. That is what id look for. I even have one for sale.
