I was kind of in the same situation as yourself, i was 19 at the time and i wanted a auto 350z, kind of a different story then the S but my dad was saying all this crap, he wanted new so i just got an altima coupe. i drove that thing for 2 years then gave it to my bro and bought myself, with my own money a s2000.

Have you ever drove manual? How many cars had you driven? What type of cars?

Seems like you dad will say something if you modify your "future" S if you get it. Just get whatever your dad is willing to buy for you and buy yourself a S when you can afford one.

Your dad's money, your dad gets to pick the car.

I bought my S2000 when i was 20, a 2003 silverstone all red 26000 miles. i paid it off myself... 100% my money (insurance and all). I don't give a shit what youve done for your family you'll never respect a car that was bought for you, as much as one youve bought yourself. By the way just so you know, the way you're describing your situation is extremely immature and illustrates the point that you don't deserve the car.

My father is willing to buy anything up to 25k, But i the only real choices i have are a 300C, subi sti, 350z's, or some new muscle car and the S2000. like really this is supposed to be a community, and shouldnt you welcome/warm/give suggestions to a person tryin to come in??? only a couple of you have told me useful stuff and i thank you for that, but the others who discourage are being mad douchbags. I want the s2000 but ofcourse ill be happy with anything i get, i just wanted to see if i put up a valid point to my dad about the engine last.

none of your cars are anything like the s2000. If you do get it, I suggest you really learn how to drive a RWD sports car. Good luck. I got mine when I was 21, paid for by myself. Learn the car on a wide open road..seriously.
