i have driven both. i like the nsx a little bit better, but the s2k is cheaper, less insurance, easer to fix. i like that the nxs has a targa and more room while having the good looks and pop up headlights and great handling

I've driven both.

At slower speeds, under 80, I believe the S2000 to be the superior car. The NSX feels underpowered, and much less nimble. At higher speeds the NSX shines. It is stable at speed and more predictable in a turn. The OEM s2000 floats compared to the NSX.

Totally different cars. I believe that the S2K is more fun to drive.

You will have more fun which the one that you can afford to have more fun with. Besides, you do not even said what you consider fun.

If a lighter wallet is fun then definitely the NSX.

At higher speeds I really like the handling of the NSX, but on a tight autocross course the S2000 is an absolute hoot.

Hahaha, I guess that makes sense, because the NSX is a GT car and the S2000 is a sports car. LOL, leave it to me to state the obvious.

NSX>my boosted S2k! more $$$ but more fun! My buddy has one and bought a titan because maintenance is pricey and to keep mileage.

aww man, is this really fair. A 2005 NSX vs my 2006 S2K in overall fun. I drove a 1993 way back when, but I know if I got to borrow an 05 NSX for a day, as much as I love my S2K, I'd probably wish I owned one.

Just too different. The NSX is just in a much higher league, so it's tough to compare. The NSX is a dream car, the S2K is my reality car which I love.
