Default S2000 turbo or k20 turbo civic hatch?

I just finished my hatch about a month ago and recently I have been falling more in love with the s2000. I have always wanted one but recently I have really started to want one bad.

I have tossed around the idea of selling my k20 turbo'd eg for a s2000 and then turboing that. My eg has a built k20 (pistons, rods, valvetrain) and has a full race manifold with a gt35r with custom IC piping and downpipe. Some of the other things is a roll cage, lexan rear windows, integra dash, engine bay shaved, and wire tuck. Made 423whp on 12psi.

The s2000 would prob be stock motor with a full race 30r or 35r kit on it.

Im just up in the air. Everyone loves my hatch and I get tons of compliments but like I said Ive always a s2k. What do you guys think?

If possible, keep the civic for racing and try out a stock S for daily fun driving. Life is better when you own an S2k.

How reliable is the 500whp mark? Im not familar with these motors. They seem to be just as strong as the k series.

500+ whp in the motor will probably destroy the drive shaft and diff in a hurry.

they both have pros and cons:

HATCH:
PROS:extremely fast and fun
LOTS of TIME and MONEY invested
wins races (if you have slicks on 24/7 )
more than 2 passengers (unless u gut the hatch)

CONS:with hi-horsepower comes lots of problems (ie, breaking things)
hatches dont look nearly as good as a s2K

S2000:
PROS:quite possibly the best built and looking honda (except NSX) EVER!
240(flywheel) horsepower stock outta a NA engine is very impressive
very strong engine (big brother to the k series)

CONS: THERE IS NONE!!!

MY VOTE IS THE S2000

S2000 is sexy, fun, and drops panties when you drop the top. Civic would be fast, but not as sexy or much of pantie dropper.

I'd rock the S2000... EGs are old and too common. I can't cruise 45 minutes on the freeway without seeing 10 "tuned" EGs.

I'm trading in my EP3 for an S2000 just as soon as I start at my new job! (5 days and counting.)

I say go for the boosted S but I'm a little biased

I've had two boosted CRX's, one turbo and one supercharged, both pretty quick (12's). after owning those and owning the S there's no going back

When you brake the REAR tires lose when u hit full boost while on the highway on the S you'll know what u want more!

In the end ... you're still driving a hatchback ... even though it is fast.

Go for the S and turbo it. You'll never again dream of your hatch.

701whp has been done on a stock block, stock tranny, stock diff in a S2000. Food for thought.
