also, i compared their masculinity to stock front ends 9keyword STOCK), which discludes what you're showing here. gotta read my stuff carefully buddy. but in the end its all opinion.

i will tell you, owning a miata (with the flying miata turbo kit- very good quality) and then owning my s2000 (with mase turbo kit- also very good quality)
they both dont even compare boosted. My boosted s has wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more power than my boosted miata from before, so thats what i mean by the miata lacking power. the s2k has sooo much more room for potential and can handle so much more aftermarket engine parts

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
Yes, I corrected my post to replace the erroneous "S2000" w/ "Miata"

oh yea, i didnt mean to compare my cars when it came to the stock look argument (hell they are both not stock in that pic) but if they were, the s2k would obviously be prettier- STOCK (most would agree)

The S is definitely meaner looking than the Miata and they look nothing alike. But we car guys can tell the difference between the two more so than the average person.

I'd agree w/ that assessment. S2000 is prettier and performs a lot better stock, that's not debatable by any sane person.

I actually went from an S2000 to a Cayman S to an E90 M3. The Miata is just a track car w/ several advantages over the S2000 for that:

- several hundred lbs. less weight
- lower consumables wear, and cheaper consumables
- better brakes
- better chassis (not referring to the shocks/sways/springs, that's all been replaced)
- more rollbar options, w/o the need to limit seat travel or cut up interior
- cheaper aftermarket parts, car responds more readily to mods
- no worries about seat theft or vandalism
- cheaper ins. rates
- Mazda Motorsports = OEM and Mazdaspeed/MX-5 Cup parts for around dealer cost

I had an NB Miata, and you're right, it doesn't compare w/ an S2000.
