...the s2k is great for so many reasons, not the least being that it is not expensive to own, unlike most of the other exotics.
"the other exotics"? Or "the exotics"?

No regrets whatsoever. This time, I did my research and although there are many other cars in or near the price range, the S2000 fit the bill for me. It is my daily driver, my economy car, my fun car all wrapped up in one car.

Its not really a regret but I really wish the Grand Prix White came with an interior other than tan. I really wanted one.

I'm happy with my choice, but do have this small regret. But I would have had a little regret with any purchase I've really never been into domestic vehicles, but a Z06 at that price, wow A lot of performance for the price, a lot

With petrol prices the way they are, if you did buy the Z06 you may be regretting it.

i think of the S as a less torquey 360 based on what people have said about the ferrari. i might be totally off, but it's an exotic to me.

i'm cheap and i can't even imagine spending a bunch of dough on a car.

the average fuel economy of a stock z06 is not MUCH worse than a stock s2000

on the highway, the fuel economy is nearly identical

I traded my 01 s2000 for a 2002 Z06 and look at what I am driving today .. 05 s2000

Don't even want to speak about the z06, hated it, worst mistake of my life.
