Default OT: It is Type R lelated so just click and help me decide (please)

Well as some know I am seilling my SI with ITR swap bla bla bla so now I have about 21K for my next car and I have 3 awsome honda choices to choose from.

1. Evolutionmotorsports can get me a check this out a real production left hand drive CTR 02-03 no miles from great britain and it comes in MPH how rare is this car anyways I can also get it in the 30th aniversary. Can be registered no prob and pass emissions

2. Same company offereing the CTR in two weeks will be offering the DC5R sorry for the mis post before will be converted to LHD and will be US spec registerable will be around 27-28K

3. Been realy looking at it the famed S2000


I just cant decide witch would be more fun for road racing they all bring a new angle to driving but I hear that the EP3 aka CTR is better than the DC5R and I know how bad *** the S2 is on the track. SO I ask all of you R owners what would you buy if you were in my shoes and why

Thanks

CHRIS

Cost for a CTR ... I'd take a WRX.
Cost for a DC5R converted for US usage? Probably in the 350Z range and that's what I'd take instead.
Cost for a S2000? 350Z Track Edition or if you can find one at MSRP, SVT Cobra.

CTR is going for about 25K and the DC5R is going for 27-28 and I can getg a S2 with under 10K miles for about 24-25 or new for 31K all tree are resonably priced but I hate the WRX friend has one and I hate the clutch chatter plus the drivtrain is week I would only consider the STI when if ever it comes out plus it is a gas guzzaling pig

Id personally look into a 93-98 Supra TT. Rarity factor, insane speed with little mods, awesome handling, luxury... May be a bit expensive depending on year and condition but well worth in IMO. Thats going to be my next car when i graduate college.

Grammar/coherency. I hate runon sentences. I'd go #2, but why hasn't anyone ever mentioned anything about King doing this before?

Your friend is blowing smoke up your ***. They are doing no such thing. I was just talking to Scott (owner of King Motorsports) about my dyno results and asked him.

If I were you, I'd call King Motorsports MYSELF. Sometimes the truth/facts seem to get lost along the way. Not saying your friend's a liar, but I'd rather hear what King has to say about it with my own EARS..

Anybody else hear that whip crack? Someone just became a bitch, w00t. (j/k bro)

Anywho.. ever given thought to picking up a DC2R here in the states for under 20k, and then using some of your money in mods, etc. Just a thought... but if you want to stay , give it some thought.

Why get another FWD car?

RWD is calling your name.

Besides in 5 years the new CTRs and new ITRs will be getting stolen for parts as the price on used 7g Civics falls.

after a day of looking at 350z's and s2k's, id choose the s2k over the Z anyday. The look of the EP3 is growing on me. I dont really care for the DC5. Id choose the s2k

But remember, i have never drove any of these cars....

Out of those three choices, I'd say go for the S2000. It's a great handling car, and you will enjoy some new aspects that come with a RWD car. I owned a 01 ITR (traded in just a few months ago for the S2000 I'm in now) and the ITR is INTENSE in every way. The S2000 is also quick, but it isn't the same intensity as the ITR.

I must say though, that the S2000 is VERY involving, when you are driving at the limit. You have to be very aware of what the car is doing at all times, or she'll bite.

And then when your done giving her hell, you can take it easy, put the top down, and drive easy. People say that you haven't experienced a good summer until you've spent one in a hot convertible. After owning the S2000 for half of a summer, I must say, I couldn't agree more...

Why not an older Porsche 911 turbo. Quick, Comfortable, looks great drives awesome.
Also, do the imports your talking about come with a warranty?
If not then the S2000.
