I got one!!!
Just picked up a used '01 s2k and I'm loving every minute of it. Too bad its rained EVERY DAY since I picked it up, but that was to be expected (Murphy's Law). I've wanted one of these since they came out but finally was able to convince myself that I can handle an expensive car and not be paranoid about it every second of the day.
Anyways, here's some things I've noticed:
it's really not that loud with the top up or down, but it sounds really good. Only a little louder than my old Integra.
plastic rear window is not bad at all.
theres tons of headroom and I'm 6'1.
everyone stares you down in this car, sometimes not even paying attention to what they're doing while they stare. Well, almost everyone. I notice all the riced out eclipse and civic drivers won't look over.
3.5k-2.5k decel grind is annoying, but fixable.
whenever I shift 5-6 or 4-6 Im worried about putting it in reverse, even though I know its impossible.
Gas mileage has been decent so far.
top leaks a little on passenger side. Probably fixable.
So basically I'm really glad I got this instead of a 350z, especially when a year from now they'll be 45,000 of them on the street.

Dude,
Sweet!
I'll keep an eye out. What color did you get?
Mine's black w/ red int. 2002. Top down mostly (except when it rains).
But back to you, Sweet!
Oh and don't let those other ricers get to you, they're cool once you acknowledge them.
But back to you, Sweeeeet!
