I just sold my Corvette ('01 Magred vert) and i'm considering buying an S2k for my next weekend driver...am I on the right track? Will I be disappointed?

p s any idea why the S2k has a much higher insurance rating, and why didn't my insurance guy recommend "leisure discounts"?

 

I guess your satisfaction will depend on what you liked about your 'vette? If its the V-8 'burble" and the torquey feel, then yo'll surely be disappointed. I heartily recommend a test drive before you take the plunge. If you liked the handling and appreciate a nimble feel, you'll love the S2000.

 

i went from a 03 cobra to a 05 S. i must say i expected the S to be slower in a straight line. but the handling is much better than my cobra. given the cobra is not a C5 vette, but you'll be giving up the same thing (torque) when you get into the S.

i'd say give the S a try, you might like it. i did.

 

What I'm looking for is more handling, more nimble, quicker, more fun! ...The torque and speed on the straight will not be missed...nor the "warnings".

 

then welcome to the S2000 crowd. you'll enjoy the car, just like the rest of us do.

 

I have state farm for insurance and i have the leisure insurance and it's i think $79.00/month and i just have to keep it under 10k miles a year so you might want to ask your insurance company about it.

 

i think you made the decision already. I used to own a 94 trans am vert, 96 impala, 89 supra turbo, 92 mustang 5.0, 87 grand national, 94 intregra gsr, and this is the BEST handling car I've owned so far.

 

PM Z06-KILLR.

He has owned 3 S2000s, and the AP2 he has now was purchased by getting rid of a Z06. He is the S is a much more enjoyable sports car.

 

may want to look around for insurance...im 26, single, only pay around $60/mon with statefarm, listed is my main vehicle. cant imagine it being more than a vette

 

I went from a 1968 SS Camaro big block 427ci./630Hp. to my dream car a 1967 Corvette conv. Stingray Then I thought I wanted a Porsche and looked at a 1963 356B but the car was too crude and this is coming from a guy that owned a lot of 60s American mussel cars. Then I drove the Boxer and loved it but not the price. Went and drove a new MR-2 Spyder and I bought it Drove the car a year and missed what I was use to, an American platform....Front engine, trans, and rear drive. I still wanted a new challenge to build (not another mussel car) so I looked into the S2000. I looked for 6 months before finding the right car, a 2002 with only 4500 miles I bought it at Christmass of 2003
This car is the best car I have ever owned hands down It gives me the challenge that I was looking for, to build a Japanese 4ci. car to run with the American V8s. It is civil but not too much, it has all the amenities you want with out being gadgety. There are many places to improve on the car but, it's great just the way it comes from the factory. How many cars can you say that about? The best thing it's a Honda it will run forever at about 30 mpg

Oh Ya I have Allstate 100/300 liability plus full coverage with a 500 deductable and pay about 110 a month but, I am not getting a discount on this car (I have three vehicles) I get it on the others. we had an incident two years ago and lost the discount. If I were getting it it would save me about $50 a month

Can I get an AMEN
