s2k if you have a daily driver but if you only have one car RSX
i spanked on a modded s2k's in my rsx but now im thinking of picking up a s2000 CR as a second car

if you have a modded RSX dont ever be afraid of a modded s2k they arent as fast as you may think

The CR would have to be hands down the biggest waist of money you could ever blow... Not much bang for you buck with that package...It's in the same boat as the Mugen Si in terms of price and what you get...nothing more in the power department, just a few exterior mods and a price that's jacked up $10k.

Owned a s2k before my dc5. The s2k broke a lot and the lack of room can be depressing.

You def need something to ride everyday if you have a s2k.

The CR isn't meant to be a high horsepower car. It is a track, suspension based car. Tighter steering ratio, braced frame, etc.

Not a drag car.

I love the CR. I think they are sick.

I almost traded my EP3 for a used S2000 but decided it wouldn't work out because I need to seat more than two people and I need trunk space. Plus the S2K seems to be a pain in the *** to mod.

k20's have alot of potential but s2k's have more options at the track IMO (drift,drag ect)
