Default I'm back. And in the market for a S2000, or maybe...

Hi

those of you who may remember me will know I had a S2000, one of the first batch, which I got on Sept 1st 1999. I kept it for 3 years or so and then sold her.

Well after driving my wife's RAV4 for a year, I made a bit of an impulse purchase and bought a Mazda RX7 twin turbo. It is FAST - faster than the S2000, faster than most things on the road in fact. However I long to return to a naturally aspirated car, so maybe another S2000.
But theres one more ... my all time dream car, the S2000's father & mother..... NSX

Test driving one tomorrow - can't wait.

Any thoughts from former NSX owners or those who had the NSX v S2000 dilemma?

Good to see you around again.

Sorry can't help with your dilemma. Isn't there a big price difference? Doesn't that help?

Baby, ignore the S2000 hype. Get an NSX fella. Its the future. I`d be happy with a `91 over an S any day of the week.
