Default The new ride is here.....(pics)

Well, as a lot of you saw, I lost my S2000 to a tree due to ice. I still miss the car very much and plan on owning one again one day, but for now, this will suffice. Its still a VERY fun car and has great tq. It is def. the S2k of the 4 door sedans, so that part of my old S2k will live on with this new car. It does everything as well, if not better than the S2k except for one part......driving fun and looks. It is VERY fun to drive, but in a much different way. The S2k's balance made the car an absolute joy. The skill it took to extract every last bit of speed out of it and just the overall feel of the car is incredible. Not to mention it looks sexy as hell. The EVO on the other hand actaully has a more harsh ride. Overall grip feels higher and the balance is pretty good up until the limit. The car understeers at the limit, which takes some of the joy out of it and it isn't as tossable(although pretty close) as the S2k. When it comes down to it, these 2 cars are hard to compare even though they both do everything so well. The feel is very different between the 2. I enjoy the EVO a lot and its growing more and more on me. I don't think it will ever be able to replace the S2k in my eyes, but I can make up for that later on down the road . Anyways, here are pics.

sick. Evos are amazing cars.

my main choice for cars was between the s2000 and the evo. s2k was the better choice at the time, and it still is for me. enjoy the evo man.

I HATE altezzas....so that is the first thing to go. I will make it faster after that. I have already payal'ed the money, so my car will be de-riced by 1 point once I get my new tails.

Riceness before tails- 6/10
Riceness after tails- 5/10

A good one . I don't discuss prices . I got a good deal on my S2k as well. I made $2600 off of it even after the insurance company took out the $1k deductable.
