Going to pick up shortly :)

Post by Havas » Sat Jun 13, 2009 12:26 pm

Hey all, thought I'd join the club I originally had a S2000 then I moved to an M3 but I've had a bad itch for a while now and I just had to scratch it so I've gotten myself a 3.0SI in carbon black with black seats and the composite alloys :) it's a 2008 show room model with just a few miles on the clock :)

I CANT WAIT!! hehe so anxious now, it's got all the options except the Nav, got the basic stereo which I prefer cos it makes life much easier for me to place my own equipment in there.

I'll post pics soon :)

Look and sound are both subjective so you might personally like your car's characteristics over the S2ks. As for 'feel' - nah!

I also think the S2000 might have the edge on sound when it's in the VTEC zone 8)

I had a Civic Type-R and it wasn't much of an upgrade moving to a S2000. Also the S2000 was a bit too raw and I'm getting old now and needed something with a bit more comfort.

It came down to either 350Z or 3.0si coupe, the Z4 just edged it, due to the looks and desirability. But if it the came down to handling and noise the 350Z wins.

Not sure if you have been in a high performance VTEC car before, but driven correctly they are impressive.
