The only car I would get rid of my car for right now would be an R33 or R34 GTR. I've loved them ever since I first laid eyes on them. But seeing as how I live in California, they are impossible to get here. So I am perfectly happy with my S.

Ever since I turned 16 I wanted a s2k, So when I was 19 I finilly got one. I'm now 21 and still love the car as much as when I got it. I actually use my car unlike 80% of the other s2k owners. I DD it and autocross it just about every weekend. It's nice raw timing cars that cost 2-3 times the cost of a s2k.

I do hear the occasional rumble and roar that I like, and briefly ponder torque that develops early ... but I've driven a couple of those cars (briefly) and the thrill of the growl doesn't last as long as smile of finesse I feel in the S2K.

For those of us who've held on to a bike that would run right out from under you if you let it and learned about quickness on something that revved high and weighed in at several hundred pounds instead of a few thousand, there is a visceral recalling of similar feelings when S2K tach nears redline and the steering/suspension responds quickly without being harsh or sloppy. On top of that, the seating 'holds me like a glove' and provides the feeling the S2K is, with strength and grace, taking me along to wherever I point it - not the same adrenaline as on a bike that you've got to harness or it may kill you, but more certain and confident on a daily basis. Besides, in many states, if I were on a bike, my head would be stuck in a helmet.

In the S2K, I've got the wind in my hair.

Yeah I look at the cobras ect. I really was close to getting a 370z. Sometimes I regret it. Now I lust after a 5.0. I do like my s2k though. Don't think I will be selling it
