Default 2002 vs 2003+

Are there any major/minor advantage/disadvantage changes with '02 and '03+? my friend just recently purchased an '02 and im in the process of acquiring one. in fact, im purchasing an '02 this coming Monday. i've never owned a Honda's sportscars so i dont know much about it, but im learning. from what my friend have told me about his '02 that he have read from other forums saying '02 was the best year for S2K's b/c of the 9000RPM and something about the gearing ratio. i was just wondering if these are true. i autoX/some drag racing on the track.

if you guys dont mind giving me some of your personal experiences with the '02 and '03+ S2K. because i'm not sure if i should go with '05 or '02. for the meanwhile, im gonna do some research on the differences. so, if you guys dont mind adding addition personal experience/knowledge.

thanks in advance!

02 and 03 are practically identical. This topic has been covered MANY times in-depth, no need to start it again. Search around and check out the stickies, you'll probably find more than you'll need.

I think you mean '02 vs '04+. 04+ have 2.2L engines w/8k redline.
00-'03's are 2.0L w/ 9k redline. They perform pretty much the same, but maybe a tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny advantage with the 04+'s.

My opinon -- Get which ever has the lowest mileage and has a good service record.
