Default S2K vs STI vs M3 (new) vs my old TEG???????

An Integra driver writes!!

OK after all the input from my last thread (thanks all), I went out and tested the motors I'm interested in, here are my findings and result

M3 (new) = Over-rated and why did my head hit the roof? Great power but a little uninvolving, no thanks...

STI = Awesome motor, huge Torque and grip! Shame about running costs and not forgetting that lovely pretty face

S2K = Loved it, I chilled, I larged it, I bought it. Simple as that Not a bad px but TEGs are worthless nowadays

Oh I've gone for a Black S2K with either Red/Red or Black/Red interior, I'll take whatever gets here first (Sept delivery), I'm well chuffed......

Thanks for all the input and I'll be kicking about a little from now on, cheers.............

- I've had an ITR
- I've had an Evo VI (torque, grip, servicing costs)
- I've got a black with red/red
- I've driven on the M3 (!)

... spooky ...

Neither's the acceleration!

I test drove an Evo (amongst other things), before getting the S2000. My big complaint about the Evo was I hated it in 30mph traffic.

(P.S. Make sure your 'Teg goes to a decent owner. I traded mine with the Honda dealer... who sold it to a muppet. But the next owner after him is a Honda-R member again )

Re the TEG, I had some muppet talking about buying it but have gone for the px as I didn't want him to have the Black Beast!!! It'll be at the dealers and I think they may already have a buyer.....

I've just had a call from the dealer, I've gone for Black with Red/Red! Roll on September.............
