debating whether i should get an evo or an s2000 please give me your opinions thanks

 

Umm.. little more info....

 

I respond with another question.

Do you prefer apple pie, or cherry?

Would you also like us to tell you what color to get?

 

Cherry ftw.

 

i've had both. I had an 03 evo8 gsr with 412hp. Currently I have a very high horsepowered s2000. Both have different qualities that make you smile.

The evo pros: has the luxury of awd so digs isnt a problem. It's nice to have four doors with a little bit more space. These cars are alot of tuners dreams and usually keep there value when going to resell them.

Evo Cons: They are definatly not cheap to maintain and its not always easy getting parts. Doing two-step launching on them is fun and benefical for racing but unless you have a few grand to upgrade the tranny from buschur or shephard racing you wont be doing digs for too long. Insurance is considerably high on those things and if you get a loan from the bank they will drill you because you will have to hold full coverage which is astronomically high.

s2000 pros: Two seater convertable that has great handling, quick from factory, and has a great motor. Insurance is alot cheaper than evo, has very attractive and and good show qualities. It is a honda so parts are easier to get and it is alot cheaper to build. And last but not least the car is considerably light compared to evos and most cars for that reasoning.

s2000 cons: the rear differentials in them are junk especially the ap1 (1st generation) replacement motors are very expensive for these cars because there arnt too many of them lying around. If you wreck your dead pretty much. They are only a two seater so if you like driving with friends or carrying alot of things forget it.

All in all both cars really bring something different to the table. You can get others opinions all day but at the end of the day YOU are the one that is going to be spending your cash on it and you are the one that is going to be taking care of it. My personal opinion is s2000 it gives you a sporty but yet high class look. Hope this helps a little bit

 

That looks like a bunch of S*** to me ^ you can build a motor for cheaper then buying a OEM one. A good EMS system for the S2000 will be 1000-2000 dollars. From a dig? Wont be a problem if you know how to drive. Go drive both guys and make up your own mind guy

 

one's a sports car, one's a rally car.

 

ooo ooo i vote s2k. I see a million evos and not as many s2ks. Plus why would u want a 2.0 with a huge turbo making 274 when you could have an n/a with 240? If you do get a evo take that god forsaken wing off.

 

it would be a bunch of **** if i made it all up. considering ive had both i will stick to what i know and you can stick to what u think.

 

I know awd is much better. Period. The s2000 is quick; pwr/wgt ratio is ridiculous. Evo looks better when it's been souped* up.

My 2 cents

 

awd is better for what? gravel? snow? woop-de-doo

rwd ftw.

 

If it is going to be your only car then obviously the S2000 is not the best choice. It is so small you won't be able to carry anything.

 

Opinions

 

I've driven both and I prefer the S2000. Overall it's a better car (in my opinion).

 

compared to an ap1 at least, stock vs stock the evo is quicker around the track (at least when i drive them)

 

It's better on launching. All power to all 4 wheels. The only way a rwd can launch like that is if you put a solid rear axle on it.

 

^^ true, i suppose that's why almost all sports cars are AWD

 

^ whoa, i'm not about to start counting, but i'd think that most sport cars are rwd. looking how a good number of ferraris, lambos, porsches, etc are rwd
