I can't wait until he starts modding it since he will give good info on how the parts affect the car with before and after. It's the exact same as my S2000 one model year newer with 30,000 miles more too. I'm going to get a lot of good info from his videos.

Is it just me or does it seem like a lot of guys sell their Subaru's for Honda S2000's ?.

Personally I would love to have an STi , and I think it is a nicer ride than an S2000. Having one of each car would be the ultimate for me though.

I've always wanted an STI / WRX when I was looking for my next car in comparison with the s2k. And recently I was able to take my friends WRX 2011 model I believe out, and it was kinda dissapointing. Felt like I was driving a truck compared to the s2k, and the shifter was pretty clunky in comparison. The steering feel is also much number, so basically TLDR: I'm glad I bought the s2k instead of a WRX / STI haha

Yes, I too thought I would rather have an Sti. I drove my buddy's for a hours one day and came home thinking i may have to get one to replace my S2000 and CR-v. Then I drove the S2000 again. Yeah, what was I thinking? The S2000 is a much sharper and more connected experience. But i would still love to have an Sti as my main ride.

There you have it.

If your need a second car Joey it should be an AP2, imagine the possibilities.

Two S2000's would be awesome. I'd probably boost one and leave the other NA.

Some things beyond my control prevent me from having two sports cars. Firstly I use one vehicle for work, pounding the miles at crazy high rates until it basically gets driven into the ground. Wife who needs to drive automatic. And a 15 year old son who soon needs to drive.

To elaborate on this, I once drove a 2007 WRX with a Cobb stage 2, and while it was pretty fast in a straight line and had a nice rumble, the weight, handling, shifting, etc. all felt so sloppy and un-sports-car-like compared to the S2000. I mean night and day. It's really an apples and oranges comparison. I might have one as a daily in the future, but even then, I'd have to mildly mod it to make it feel properly responsive.
