The US got the neutered version. The UK and Japan got the Type-R with the real K20 motor. A EP3 Type-R will easily beat an S2K.

But have you seen modern day designs? Go visit a Lexus dealership... makes cars from late 2000's look like beauty queens!

I guess I'll start.

Sony Playstation 2 (2000)
In all seriousness - just about every US vehicle from the late 90's and early 2k's has not aged gracefully. There may be an exception here or there but most were crapola... hence the bailout...

Either you're younger than the S2000 & not very bright or you're older and impossibly dim.

There are many videos proving the EP3 Type-R is faster than the S2K.


It's lighter and has the better engine, responds very well to bolt ons unlike the S2K. Now when I say faster I mean in a straight line of course on track the S is superior.

I have to disagree on the C5Z aging terribly. I biased though. Look at a C4.
Anything tech will have aged badly because it improves so rapidly.

Definitely true. Most all domestic vehicles from this time period haven't aged well.

aka. Dodge Neon, Chevy Malibu and Cavalier, Ford Taurus and Focus

I think even the mid-90s JDM supercars haven't aged soooo well. FD and Supra are both very round and bloated looking at many angles. NSX on the other hand will always look good in my opinion... S2000 too

I'd argue the RX-7 as being one of the best looking cars of all time, yes even better looking than the NSX.

Easily has the S2K beat in the looks department.







NSX is actually the worst looking of the 3.
