hey i was wondering if buying an s2000 would be a good car to buy for me i wanna get into track racing for NASA or somthing nice, but thats just going to be on the weekends i
i drive in the mt.s a lot but im not so sure if i should get a s2k, any other good cars to get on honda/acura alrighty thanks

 

a good car to buy for you is a miata

 

a miata hmmm why do you say the miata its a cool car, whats the difference between the to ?

 

if you plan on racing NASA miata would be a much easier and cheaper solution.

i seriously laughed when i read it.

 

id say a lifted 92 cheorkee should do just fine you did say you drive mountains alot right

 

yeh i drive in the mts alot but i like to drive cars, and i plan on getting a car but dunno what to get i like touge alot its really fun. Not so sure if the S2000 is worth getting i was thinking about either a civic si or supra 3 gen.

 

and with what car are you currently running the mountains?

 

Agreed, buy a Miata: you will save a LOT of money that you can use learning to drive. An S2K on a track is not for the inexperienced, and definately not cheap.

A Miata is a great sports car, you can't go wrong.

 

Buy a Miata, run the Spec Miata cup and get raped, just like you would in any class race. Have fun!

Well... either that or buy a fast car and fly off the side of a mountain. 50% of the time, it works all the time.

 

hahaha these comments are hilarious...

 

right now i am riding a 2000 red civic (EX) but its an automatic its slow up hill but dose really good on the down hill run reason why ive decided to get a new car.

by just reading this ^^^ now..the s2000 is not the car for you..get a car that sutes your driving experience..like a yugo or a pinto...jk.just get a car that you can handle at the track...

 

s2000 is a hard car to handle especially coming from a auto civic

That doesn't make any sense. Why would you get an S2000 if you're going to drive it like an Accord?

ekmos was, I believe, talking about in race/hard-driving situations. In which case, yes, it will be a handful for some kid with 1 year's of driving experience, NO track experience, and currently riding in a 100 HP automatic. Now you want to throw the same kid into a semi-quick RWD convertible with a hair-triggered snap oversteer? Oh, can we count how many "I wrecked my S2000 because I shifted mid-turn during a rainstorm, blah blah blah" threads we've had? Yeah...

And about the Miata comment--I have never owned one, and probably never will, but as an auto enthusiast, I give respect where it's due. Those Miata's tear people UP on the tracks. (RWD, light-weight, easy/cheap upgrades, etc.) If you think they're all girly cars, visit your next SCCA event.

Touge -- Do yourself a favor and get a Civic Si or an EG/EK hatch to start out with. You will have plenty of fun in it, and might fit your current budget a lot better than an S2000.

i agree ................................... i used to think miatas were a little girly until one owned my prelude and my prelude was no joke......and touge im not here to slam your dreams and assperations but cmon riding the "touge" as often a possible having a under powerd car thats good on the down hill bad on the up....it sounds like your an Initial D fan so am i but you cant learn how to drive from watching a cartoon LoOlL just be carfull and dont put anyone but your self in danger

you were stating a for sale post. You're delusional if you think otherwise. You're post has been edited. Final warning.
