this topic, or similar, shows up way to often, that is probably the reason noone has answered yet.
or maybe he just had to wait longer than 30 minutes after his initial post before whining.

best advise anyone can give is to test drive one. If it is a fast car you want then you might want to look at something other than an s2000. The s2000 is quick, but by no means would I call it fast. I do admit I have driven a few fairly high horsepower cars though. The place where I see the s2000 has its biggest strengths in terms of speed is on how nimble it is. You can toss it around as good or better than anything else I have ever driven. I have been extremely happy with my s2000 and have not regrettedthe purchase once since i bought mine a couple years ago. Good luck in the decision man.

I wont be having any kinds any time soon... well none that I plan on but not many passangers, no lugage, just myself and somthing sporty. And I guess you all are right, I could just go test drive the car instead of asking actual owners about it right? Thanks for any and all help.

I think coming on here and saying "I want something faster and louder" kind of sits the wrong way with some people.

You could do like 1 poster on here mentioned and drill out your Si exhaust and it would be louder then you could add a vented hood and be faster

It's kind of obvious to a lot of us that you aren't really interested in the S for what it is, raw, visceral and engaging w/best in class handling but for what you 'think' it might be, loud and fast. In my opinion you should think about why you want an S and what you don't like about the Si. In all honesty the Si isn't that far behind the S in terms of pwr and handling, just FWD rather than RWD.

Those that ask "should I buy a S2k", shouldn't buy one. You either get it or you don't.
