A NEW S2000.

...or if someone said they would trade me straight up for an Audi R8, I'm in love with that car.

I voted for more power/performance, but that doesnt mean the s2k doesnt offer that to me. I am just saying later down the road i will obviously want something higher on the scale and with that comes more power/performance!

But ill still keep the s2k as long as i can!

I voted power/performance, but since I plan to eventually go FI (400whp Kraftwerks kit is what I want), maybe i should have just said "never." This is my first new car, and I intend to keep it.

If practicality comes up, I told my wife we'll get a $5000 sedan for me to DD and keep the S.

After I get S/C, which will probably still be 2-3 years from now, it will probably be another 5-7 years before i start seriously looking around for something newer. If the new NSX is out by then I'll test drive it along with whatever the GTR/equivalents are, but ~$80-100k is an expensive upgrade when I'll have a paid-off 400whp S2000... S13 owners DD their 10 year old FI'ed cars, so why shouldn't I?

Honestly, I expect that when it's mechanically unreliable is really when I'll start thinking to sell it. And with MY00s working so well today, I'm hoping that will be a long time.
