at near or past 100k miles?

No, a camaro is better in every way.

>>28522985 (OP)
It's a good platform with timeless looks.
A few guys I race with have Turbo S2000 builds.(400rwhp)
They are pretty damn fast.

>>McDonald's suspension
If its better than a modified NSX making more power on modern tires, why wouldn't it be better than the s2000.

>>28522985 (OP)
I feel like half of the allure of the s2k is the the gizmo wizbang rev thermometer

>>28522999
>1999 NSX
Anon, does it hurt being that retarded?

>>28522997
oof. camaro anon could always go to burger king

>>28523009
what year do you think the S2000 was introduced, retard?

>>28522985 (OP)
If you don't plan to build it the ND2 Miata is superior stock. Just not as easy to get more power out of it

>>28522985 (OP)
No it's a Manufactured Scarcity due to government regulations.

>>28523013
2013

>>28522986
cope

>>28522985 (OP)
I own one and no. $15k is the most you should give, as you're guaranteed to spend another $3k on various maintenance stuff.

>>28522985 (OP)
>are they worth the minimum $20k?
On paper? No, absolutely not.

>>28522999
>as tested by the highly prestigious racing driver Tony Quiroga
Lmao

>>28522985 (OP)
No, $15-20k buys you a really mint low mileage nearly new facelifted GT86 or NC3/ND1 that only needs tires and a driver or a clapped AP1 that's going to have 3x the miles and need a top, have rust, prior accident history/salvage, etc. $20k gets you in a ND2 Miata, 124, and soon a GR86.

>>28522985 (OP)
no. a low mile ap2 is worth at most 20 and a low mile ap1 is worth at most 10
i can list off everything that sucks about the ap1 for a while

>>28523636
>i can list off everything that sucks about the ap1 for a while
Go for it

>>28523636
Made me look up the S2000 ring gear size - 7 inches?
Pretty lame, barely 5% bigger than an AE86 diff which is already considered a marginal diff size even for that little car.

>>28523591
it will also get you a low mile lsd equipped rwd 350hp genesis coupe. 20k will net a low miles 350z as well or the 3 valve v8 mustang that can hit 4-500hp with a blower.

>>28523728
And all those cars suck compared to an E92 335i with a few simple MODIFICATIONS

>>28522985 (OP)
Nah. They were only worth it when they dipped under $10k. I'd rather a C5 Corvette, Z4 M Roadster, SLK32 AMG (or manual SLK230), a 124 Abarth Fiata over any of those personally, especially at that price. Hell, I'm not even saying the Honda S2000 is a bad car by any metric whatsoever, but what does a $20k, 100k mile S2000 offer that's worth the insane premium over something like a $6500, 100k mile 350Z Roadster? The cool shaped seats and cluster don't add $10k+ to it's value.

>>28522985 (OP)
They are getting extremely overpriced like every other 20+ years old old japanese sports car. Unless you really want one get something else for 20k$

>>28522986
Camaros are gay and ugly and spend more time broken down than anything…i used to like them when i was like 12

>>28522985 (OP)
Prices are up, but not that much, just sold my clean 10/10 vin 2004, 100k for $16k

>>28524164
you sold it to a mexican? i bet it already been modified and crashed with a shitty sub in the trunk with wires hanging out everywhere

>>28522999
>As-tested price is eight fucking grand more
(You)

jason camissa has basically nothing good to say about them. bad steering, too heavy and they feel slow and not in a "slow car fast" fun way, he says

>>28524272
as opposed to the starting price for the NSX being twice that of the camaro?

>>28524718
It means the Camaro needed eight grand in mods and/or parts to beat a 20 year old Honda.

>>28524627
>literal who says this about them
k

>>28524781
as opposed to the tens of thousands dollars of parts needed to modify the honda so it could turn to begin with? (super charger, tires, suspension, etc)

if you're admitting old hondas are shit, buy a new one or get a camaro.

idk im looking audi a3 and stuff under 10k i need at least a v6 aka a pantydropper

>>28524179
Shee she's gonna be so clean

>>28524627
>literally the lightest a conventional size monocoque car can be without sacrificing chassis rigidity

Is that a bunch of clearcoat damage or morning dew?

Interior looks really basic.

what more do you need?

>>28527147
at least 3 cup holders for my daily venti iced peppermint white chocolate mocha

>literally zero torque
>$20k
shiggy

>>28527138
why did Honda give the passenger the parking brake?

>>28523728
You can get a 5.0 easily for 20k…

>>28522985 (OP)
get an mx5/miata

this car was mogged by the MGB over 60 years ago

>>28527324
pretty much.

>>28523007
Yes, and the other half being it’s an FR Honda.

>>28527332
The MGB actually had a sane wiring harness and fuse box hat almost could be the case

>>28527291
Don't worry bruz, it has gears

>>28527398
>>28527544
>floppy chassis
>still no torque but also no RPM either

There's a reason they're cheap

>>28527787
The best things in life are cheap, it's why I fuck ur mom all the time.

>>28527535
If the MGB has a “sane” wiring harness as compared to the S2K, I can’t imagine what he’ll the latter has

>>28527398
low mileage, 6mt, clean-looking 1.8 would go for a good price even here in bongistan.

>>28527803
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

>>28522985 (OP)
Depends on the market.

If you're in North America, there are so many cars that can outdo the S2000 and they're plentiful. They remind me when Japanese reviewers drive something American with tons of power and suddenly the nonsense about balance in Japanese cars doesn't matter when the big dumb pushrod instantly closes the gap with throttle and sticky tires.

>>28522985 (OP)
Just get a z3

Also, why the FUCK is it on fuckin STILTS like a fuckin MONSTER TRUCK bmaooo0o0o0

>>28522985 (OP)
this is in the same price range of a s2000, you are just retarded to want a s2000 at the going rate. they are no longer cheap, the price was what made the s2000 and miata "good."
the first gen z4 is now at the sweet spot for best bang for your buck.

>>28529403
I hate how ugly the front end of the Z4 is. The Z3 is so good looking by comparison.

>>28529403
The experience in z3/z4s is never as good as the sedan/coupes they are based off of. Just get an E92 335i already godsDAMN

>>28529409
problem is that, due to age, the bushings etc are worn out, ofc its going to feel a bit sloppy next to a much newer gen.

>>28529405
the z4 looks way better than the z3, not to mention what a wet noodle it is next to the z4's superior chassis.

>>28529423
So just replace the bushings and get M3 control arms and some good coilovers. All these cars are soft as fuck stock anyway

>>28529433
what im saying is, these fools out here test drive clapped out neglected z4's and act like they dont drive good. they are 20+ years old on factory bushings my guys, these first gen z4's are slept on for no reason.

>>28529437
When I say that i mean clean or even new ones. z3/z4s just aren't as an E30 coupe or E92. Or the 4 series

>>28529443
no way!? convertibles dont drive the same as coupes!? this is why anecdotes from people like you are retarded.

>>28527332
The MGB is a piece of shit. Unless you put a V8 in it, then it's an unbalanced piece of shit.

You're that anon from the other thread. They were practically giving them away over here for years. Are they supposed to be desirable now because most of them have melted?
