The new Miata's do look fairly similar to the S2K. Especially to someone not familiar with car's.

My cute little Miata had its way w/ all 3 of the S2000's at the track today, including a CR w/ a KW hi-boost S/C.

Faster does not equal cooler/better.

Would still rather have the CR with KW high boost.

I would say miata is the first of the Modern FR Roadsters.

To me S2000 is just a miata with more power and handles sharper.
But deep inside.. they are the same thing

LOL, ok, so they have their differences but with this as a former miata owner- they are simular. but on the contrary, the s2k looks more masculine for some reason when comparing them both stock (imo). I think the front is responsible for that (hence the picture). Also, the miata is not capable of any significant power increase what-so-ever without modifying the block, unlike an s2k where you could just slap a turbo kit on its stock engine and all of a sudden its over 400hp. ive driven my s2k for a while now and never once has anyone mistaked it for a miata- i liked my miata but I LOVE my s2k. lol

I cannot resist:
Your "S" looks very hungry!
This is a good thing.

Further, Rnye you have one of the coolest sig pictures on the
planet, but if my wife saw me do this to my Silverstone,
she would kick my......

What are you smoking? Lots of turbo/SC kits provide significant power increases for the Miata. In fact, the 1st/2nd gen blocks (up through '00, at least) are built for boost, unlike the F2xC w/ it's high compression ratio.

As for masculine front end, you can make either one look aggressive w/ more mods like your pics depict:

The Mazdaspeed bumper is very nice but the car is still ugly.

dude i think you're confused- im talking about the miata- read it over again. unless you accidently wrote s2000 instead of miata, you're not making sense
