Good logic there, Flyingpig. Smart for a pig.
I don't like the Z3 much, but if I had more money, I'd definitely consider the M Roadster and race all the S2000s out there.
I really like the Prelude SH, though. Not too many made and a solid performer. How much did you sell it for?

SpaceNeedle - Yup I was the one who sold it. The price, well it's not that easy.
Since I have had a hard time selling it I worked out a deal with my father who then used the Prelude as a trade in on a new car he was buying.
On paper it looks like we got 17K for the car, but since my father was not going to trade in a car on the new car he was buying there is a sizeable reduction in the sales tax he paid on the new car. The way I figure it 17K less on the taxable purchase price of his new car meant a savings of approx $1,000. So I'll be getting around 17.5 for my car, details to be worked out later. My last classifed ad I ran I was asking 18.5, so I'm not to far off my last asking price.
I'll repeat, the demand for these cars is pretty terrible. I don't advise buying a new one. You can probably find a used one at a decent price, if that is the case, then its a great car.
Hope that helps -- Tom

matter of personal opinion, pig. the 4th gens look cheap. the bmw looks more distinct than the s2000. and a lot of people think it looks great... especially the M with the phat wheels. i think the wheels on the s2000 are too small.
my cousin has a 500hp 300zx turbo. fast as hell. but looks old nowadays just like the supra. supra has too much of a ricer image, too. loved it a few years ago, though.

I think the current Prelude is a beauty!
When the new lude first came out, most people prefer the 4th gen lude, including myself. However, after awhile, I started falling in love with the 5th Gen lude so I ended up getting it intead of the ITR. People around me all agree that the 5th Gen Prelude looks awesome, especially after putting on bodykit and wheels. And believe me, chicks dig it!
