I think the pros and cons of both cars are pretty much obvious.

If you are gonna turbo the s2000 I would recommend just going for the evo, especially since they have that great 0% finance deal! If you are gonna keep it NA then go for the s2000.

Think about it:
32K for 2005 S2000
5K for turbo Kit
1K for install of turbo
1K for AEM EMS
1K for tune and install of AEM EMS
1K for guages (wideband, boost, oil, ect)

Honestly, it's not worth doing all that to a new car. May as well buy a pristine used Z06!

Like I said above, at that point you could just purchase a NEW 400hp C6.

It's really sort of a silly question being asked here though. An Evo and S2000 are fairly close in stock form. A turbo S2000 will wildly exceed a stock Evo's limits. He's basically comparing a $32,000 stock car to a $40,000+ modded car.

[QUOTE=Highrpmek,Aug 6 2005, 09:37 PM] Why would you want to turbo a car you've never driven? Sounds stupid to me.

Evos are "unique" car with great potential as a sports car.

"Drive evo if you don't know how to drive" is really an ignorant statement, its not like all S2k drivers are professional or anything, I am sure there are over - average drivers for all cars outthere.

When I see a evo, my heart jumps a beat, why? because its another "pure" sports car outhere, its that S2K is track and Evo is rally, both a type of motor sport, just different aim.

I say drive both, but if I go with s2k, i wouldn't get FI, just NA for what it is, a great conv/track sports car with honda engineering and awesome driving experience.
