In the end, feel fortunate though that your dilemna is between two great cars, a lot of other people have to decide between an Odyssey or a Sienna. Either way you go you're going to miss somethign about the other, just go with what your heart desires. You still have a lot of years ahead of you to switch back or move onto other cars, at least now you can add an S2000 and a Corvette to your list of cars you've owned.

i like having both..
i like the extra room in the z06.. you have a storage area ."shelf" behind you.. i can also put 2 sets of golf clubs in the trunk..

now.. i like the s2000 for twisty mountain roads.. but for raw power.. torque.. the z is the bomb..

my insurance is higher on the s than the z.
i am an old fart.46 so insurance isn't bad..

i have a hard decision everyday.. what to drive.. LOL..

^ In case you don't know, that pic in your sig was taken in Buckeystown, MD, at the first Spring Fling four years ago, organized by Rick Hesel. Then matrix doctored it up. His Berlina is in the middle and the two Spas belong to OhioRacer and NickfromNY.

like most others have said, no, i had the chance to drive my buddies C5 vette with the targa top, it was a seriusly sexy looking machine, but way too common, the shifter felt like the shifter in my truck, the handling felt funny and the interior/quality left something to be desired. But if your sick of the S2k why not? It was much roomier and a hell of a lot more torqueir (is that a word? prob not) I wouldnt do it tho

Cool! It's a great Picture! I tried to change it, so the first frame had the doors closed, but too much background to duplicate!

Thanks

PS: where's buckeystown? I spend some time in annapolis and columbia, MD

About 40 miles northwest of DC. The group (only 20 cars then - the ones since, including Wintergreen this coming weekend, have been 40) stayed in a lovely B&B there.

No, but a C6 is tempting. In fact, I was very close to purchasing the C6 before I bought the S2000. My final decision was made because the S2000 fit much better for me and the garage.

lol well that's another reason too s2ks are getting more and more common every day. At least in my area they are (northern virginia) I see a couple every day. I just don't want them to become like civics and 350z's, g35 ect.

and one of the biggest reason I got my S was because no one really had it couple yrs back.

I wish I could afford both but I can't get rid of my integra it has my sweat and blood in it for the last 7 yrs literary lol...

I have done a lot of research on the vetts before so that's not a issue I even know every problem that car will have lol.
www.corvetteforum.com
I've been reading everything on that board for last 3-4 yrs.

mm maybee I should let my insurance company decide. lol
insurance on C5's are probably a lot a lot more than s2000.

and I don't think ill ever turbo my s2k.
turbo = a lot of issues and no reliability.

and the glass rear end we have oh man. I'm already on my the second one

I love this board atleast I get mature responces.
