Well said.

EVO VIII: turbo, awd, boosted econo-box, good for the street, the track, dragging, cruising, winter, etc.... simply amazing!

S2K: light-weight, high-reving NA, 2 seater, convertible


Each car with its inherent strenghts and weaknesses.

I think, functionnally, the EVO VIII is a better and faster car in many aspects for that price.

Reason why I'm chosing the S2K over the EVO: better looks (yes, I'm THAT much shallow.....)

Even if an Toyota Echo sedan would be a 10-second car, I'd never buy cause I think it's ugly.

P.S.: by looks, i meant what I personnaly thought of it, not chicks or anything, though it is a plus if they do like it.......

A car has to look good before anyone can worry about it going fast. The Evo can be a 6 second quarter mile with 1k horsepower and I still wouldnt want it.

Yea- works both ways though: I use to be a huge fan of the RX-8 til I realized it wasn't very fast car. Heck, even a RSX-S beats it! Can't stand the fact that the 8 looks faster than it actually is.

I like the Evo alot, but I feel no emotion behind the design, unlike our car or a NSX. No excitement.

Even the g35 coupe/sedan grabs my attention more than the Evo, I'm confident a test drive will change things though....

"My Daddy can beat your Daddy." ... There's no difference to the bottomline. At the end of the day, there's always something better than something.

It is so easy to get sucked into go fast straight crack pipe.
Take them to the road track and watch who sucks.

I had no problem pulling away from EVO at Mid Ohio.

Don't stoop down to their level. Stop light racing is retarded.

There's just something nice about being able to say that I drive a hand- built, low-production number sports car too.

I had the chance to buy the Evo before I bought the S2. Matter of fact I was really close to buying the Evo because of the mod easy engine, all year round function, and great looks until I found out that Mitsu was going under! The Evo is a great car, no one can argu that! The 4G63 has been in production for a while and has been revised and tuned over the years to perfection. Its an engine that can generate great hp gains with simple boltons and with all wheel drive for the New York winter months I was really close. But now Mitsu is barely staying afloat after the US Government gave them a fedaral grant. Where are the Evo owners going to be when they really go belly up? ANSWER, right to the Honda dealer . Beside that, there are way too many differences in the two. I love the S2, and Im glad now that I purchased it instead of the Evo. The Evo might have it all together in the straight line, but take the Evo on the twisties !
