Default Traded '05 Evo for '07 S2000

Hello. I traded my '05 Evo for a Silverstone S2000 on Saturday. The S2K has always been on my list of cars to own, and I am happy to finally have one. The Evo was my second, the other being an '03. Prior to that I had a modded RSX Type-S and there was always something I missed about it, despite the furious performance advantage of the Evos.

I put 300 canyon and mountain miles on the S2000 the first day and the handling is great. Even though I could not rev it much because of break in, my girl and I had smiles on our faces the whole time.

I'm debating to either get a Evo IX MR or a 07 S2000 right now. I can't decide what car to get.....

^ both cars will be a lot of fun, but in very different ways.
Either way, you can't go wrong. Good luck!

to the OP, congrats on your new S!
Best color, too!

Buy both! I bought a new Evo 8 back in '05 and a used '00 S2000 last year and it is the best garage combo ever (best 2.0L Turbo and best 2.0L N/A).
