straight line race, I destroyed an '03. We ran from a dig and from a couple of low speed rolls, usually to around 100 and every time I got away. It wasn't bus lengths, but I did win everytime.

Keep in mind, his 03 has over 70-80k. My 06 just went over 10k. So I'm sure that was a factor.

If you've only put 13,000 miles on in 7 years... keep your current S2000. For the $15,000 difference, you could have a lot of fun "upgrading" your current one.

Supercharger + R-compound tires will negate any performance benefits of an 07 compared to your current vehicle. If you only put 2,000 miles on your vehicle per year... Pilot Sport Cups will last you more than 4 years!!!!

more torque, better looking, glass window, nicer wheels...

The list of advantages goes on and on, for both sides, and that's why this has been debated to death.

OP - instead of listening to other people, just go out for a test drive and see for yourself - this decision is completely one of personal preference

Wait, you have an S2000 and an EVO? Why would you want to get the 07? Just because they are cheap? Its kinda the same mentality as buying stuff you dont really NEED because you found a great deal on it. If you had your sights set on a new one, then go for it...but if you are buying one on a whim because of the deal, then I personaly would just keep mine. It must be nice to drive the EVO every day with its great mid range punch and turbo torque and then be able to head to a winding road or circuit and rip on the S to the tune of 9000arps.

Since yours is a 00, wasn't it hand assembled then? KEEP IT.
ALL S2000's are hand assembled.

i think you should go ahead and test drive one and make the decision for yourself. Although if I were you I would rather have some fun upgrading the current one I had instead of getting a new one. Thats just me though.

I decided to upgrade on the spur of the moment, although part of my reasoning was I knew Honda would not be making the car too much longer. I mainly wanted the glass rear window. Didn't think too much about other stuff, although I like some of the features that were not on my 00. I was not disappointed. It's a great car, no matter what the year!!
