Default My em1 or an s2000??

Yes i have been thinking of selling my si for a new ride. I love my car but im all done spending $ on it,and starting to get bored of it after 4 years. I have always had a boner over the s2k's and have been thinking of crossing over, It will be hard to go to a slower car though . Let me know what you guys think,and yes i already know im fukn crazy for thinking this

I dunno how your winters are, but here in Rochester people tend to store convertibles/etc. from October until May, so it kinda sucks because you're stuck with the beater for the majority of the year.

But if you're already storing the EM1, I don't see a downside to the S2000!

go for the s2k. You've had it for 4 years, you say your done and bored with it. s2k's are sexy and rwd. You'll have a new platform to start from. After owning 2 rwd cars and driving other friends fwd hondas, it would take me forever to consider actually buying a fwd car, I love the way rwd handles.

I love rwd cars, my buddy used to own a s2k and I loved driving it. Even though my civic has 350 HP it still aint as fun to drive as a RWD car.

Have you gone test driving yet? If I were you, I'd devote a few days strictly to test driving. Try to find dealerships with stock and modded s2ks and see what they feel like modded or whatnot. See if some local owners will let you take theirs or at least get a ride.
