hey, i still have my S2000 and i drive the evo more, plus, i get 4X more women to fit in my car , and its seriously helped, the room i love 4 doors now... Once the Evo stuff gets more plentiful there will be some nice kits for it, ever heard of Gialla? they make the most bad ass stuff for EVOS and its like when i look at it i feel just like when i looked at the J's kit before ne one had it, I was one of the few people to have the authentic Js Lip and hood and thats what its gonna be for me n the Gialla kit.

Damn, that Gialla kit is phat! Now, MAYBE with that on your car (or the C-West, which looks dope as well), you'd get more looks. Need to see pics of the rear wing though...

I think for the practical go fast car for me is the Evo though, In ohio you get flash snow storms n shit and if u get stuck in 1 of those with the S yur screwed, the Evo is at least AWD, and also i have 5 seats now yey! i always had 2 seaters, i had 2 trucks n 1 s2000, so no seating but wit the EVO i got room and I donot take that room for granted! and also, the Evo is easier to make it go break into the 12s or even 11s, if you spend the money to make the S in the 12s that money would put an Evo in the low 11s, and even 10s, with Buschur Racing, ne thing is possible, they make parts for go fast, not bling bling, it may not look the prettiest from Buschur but for $4000 your Evo runs 11.6, and 4Gs on an S2k well uh, supercharger so 13s maybe 12s, i dont know i never really researched that with the S2k because i knew it was really never worth wasting the money to try to make that car faster.

Well, I guess you can call me stupid then, cause I've dropped WELL over $4K into my S. And that was just for the SC alone. It will NEVER be as "fast" as a similarly modded EVO, and I accept that. But for me, it's not just about the HP; it's about the looks, handling, a soft-top and a 9K redline as well. I don't know that I'll ever be able to give all that up.

BTW: I didn't realize the EVOs were so easy & cheap to mod. Thx to you, I'm seriously thinking about adding one to my driveway.

Here's a link for an EVO vs. 360 Modena vid.
The EVO had $500 mods (probably downpipe, and boost controller), and had a passenger.
The 360 driver was by himself.

ps. Too bad the 360 driver was shifting a bit late, but to the exhaust note.

It's a nice video, but I don't think it's really showing the real performances of these cars.
