3. this decision is killing me, i really love both cars
4. coilovers make the s2k handle better than the evo through the corner, but the evo still runs better lap times, but i dont car about that all that much anymore
5. yeah i have the rarest of all the evo 9's. the MR SE and im hesitant to sell it...
6. im not basing this decision on what my friends think
7. i do like to hear what you guys have to say though, so i thank everyone and their input

if i get a good offer on my evo, i might just sell it, and end my confusion, but if i get lowballed to death, i wont bother.
I guess your been either lazy by not #1answering every question, question by question or it was over all smarter to do what you did,#2 answer all questions at once..LOL Yeah i think its #2

I went thru the same exact thing. I wanted an EVO soooooo bad before that Id day dream about it. As for the STI, eh, theyre alright. Before buying my S, I test drove an EVO 9 first, then STI. Both cars are sweet and fast(er) in some cases. But after driving the S on the dealer, I never went back and drove my brand new NFR S2000 home with a big smile in my face and that big smile of satisfaction and pleasure that the S2000 gives me never went away to this day and prolly forever. lol.

If you want to go 45mph in a parking lot, buy a go kart.

Sounds like your mind is made up to me, sell the Evo (again), buy and S2000 and drive that until you get tired of it and want an Evo again
What a narrow minded comment.

Nevermind that the Miata single-handedly brought back the roadster by itself. Without the success of the Miata, the S2000, Z3, Z4, SLK, etc, etc would not exist today.

And you should probably check your facts about what S2000s dominate as well. S2000s are king of the parking lot in A-stock as well.

Hate as you must, but the S2000 has the same lineage as the Miata - lightweight, great handiling, soulful purpose.

Very well said, that guys kinda huh dumb .. Yeah its true, the miata did sell very good. I mean a car thats been around that long ( since like 1991) and still sell new out of the show room, has to be a great car!

Car's cannot be gay, because they have no gender.
Calling a car gay, any car, is gay.

Your comments about autocrossing are just as gay, and ignorant to boot.

I will consider adding your name to my ignore list.

Hahaha, I should have read more of the thread before responding to SCG-Milan.
I should have realized that you guys would be all over it.
