Default Sell Mugen SS Imola Orange for GT4?

I'm am so torn as to whether or not to sell my all Mugen Imola Orange S2000 for a 2016 Porsche GT4 with Light Weight Bucket seats. I know it sounds crazy but the S2000 puts a huge smile on my face the odd chance that I have to drive it. I just doubt that the GT4 is going to be 3 times as fun and as raw as a Mugen SS S2000 (it cost about 3 times as much as what I think my S2000 is worth).

I have a GT4 allocation forthcoming and I know I would be fortunate if I do get an allocation. I'm just not 100% sure that I want to sell my 1 of a kind unicorn. What to do???

Wow! That's a tough decision, I imagine the Gt4 would cost about $120k after taxes. Are you sure you could sell your s2 for $40k?

Not suggesting that it's a slam dunk but I have lot's of spares and it's low KM's ... it's more a question of would you sell a car that's literally one of a kind for a car that's hot at the moment? What if the GT4 is nothing more that the BRZ/FRS of Porsche's. The S2000 I feel was a car that was at the pinnacle of it's game at the time. It may be a future classic while the GT4 is just a car of the year... who knows.

If you can afford the GT4 you can afford both. Beautiful S2000.

Jeez that is one beautiful S2000, I can't imagine it getting any better than that as far as S2000's go. But the GT4 has to be much more substantial than any S2000 could be, I guess it is up to you to decide whether the cost justifies the benefits. The GT4 should satisfy everything one would want in a performance car IMO, good luck with your decision. Lets see more of that S2000 though, pics, pics, and more pics please.

I used to have one of those strut bars but I sold it to get better access to the engine. Is that an ASM cooling plate ?, I've got the Mugen intake and that looks like a really good fit. I love the titanium intake arm/tube , sweet !
