is a s2000 right for me?
ok guys ive been a lurker since a year and half cause i wanted a s2000 but really dident know if it was right for me or if i was right for the s2000...... so anyways heres my deal,
im turning 20 in a few days HBD to ME....
and i currently drive a 2008 Mustang GT 5spd pictured below
i had my mustang for a year now i love my car dont get me wrong its just i see the s2000's and i always been in love with them
but due to the chance of getting a 300hp mustang made me forget about everything else
but before i bought the mustang i was a tuner i had a 1994 acura GSR pictured below
it was cheap it was fun and great on gas and again fun.......
but end a long story short
im 6'3 & 200lbs im not fat im just a big guy......
i sat in a couple s2k's and i felt like i was in my dads z06 again lol
my questions are this
1. am i crazy for wanting to sell my mustang for a s2000
2. am i too big for this car
3. what are my options for making the car fit me better
sorry guys for the long read its just spring and summer are coming and i think i want a s2k lol

well, 190% of the people here will tell you your crazy, crazy for buying a domestic!
I was gonna say im not sure if the s2k will work for but after reading that you originally had an integra...by all means an S will work. sure, you will be down in power, but Im not sure if youd miss it as much as think, unless your a straight 1/4 kinda guy.
I dont think your too big for this car...however driving one will be the real test and only you can answer. Also, you can get custom seat rails that are a bit lower fyi.

Go sit in one. Just sitting in it you get an amazing feeling. If you get that feeling forget about your mustang and get an s2k.

on a side note i golf ALOT i could fit 2 sets in my trunk..... any fellow golfers here can you fit a standard cart bag in the s2k or is it riding shotty
My clubs fit..
You may also want to think of the economy i think i remember a brand new GT going for 18k a month ago or so.. But theirs nothing saying the economy is going to be good any time soon..

At 6'3 and 200lbs, you are by no means an unusual owner for an S.
Best mod for you would be a BYS seat rail (yes, you could do the ghetto-fab bash the seat pan in mod too). That should drop you 1.5" and make all the difference.

i'd hate to say it, but when it comes to the s2000 if you have to convince yourself to buy it or have to ask others about buying it...you probably shouldn't.
it's a very unique car to live with and you do give up quite a bit if it's your daily driver.
