Default 5th gen SH or S2000

i was thinking if i should get rid of my 5th gen sh for an s2000. my car is still pretty new only 28k miles. i love how it feels when i sit in the **** pit of an s2000. also its convertible. anyways i was wondering what u guys think. which is a better car to tune up, has more potential on handling and speed, and is a good daily driver. Also which car do u think looks nicer

keep the sh. its much more cheaper to upgrade. as for potential on speed and handling i guess id have to give it to the s2000, but they dont hav as much ish out for the s2000 as they do for the prelude. s2000 is not a good car to get for a daily driver, it has jack shizzle for trunk space and the blind spots really suck. i think the prelude looks more refined.

S2000, IMO is your best bet if you want serious peformance. I'm not saying that the prelude cant be fast but the S2k is a blast to drive. The suspension feels much more solid and the tranny is like butter.

s2000 because the tranny just feels so good. also its rear wheel drive which your prelude will never be. The s2000 is a more expensive car, and the parts are also much more expensive. I mean of course the s2000 is a more serious performance car than the prelude. Also much more expensive to mod. But if you go oodles of cash laying around why not just buy a used NSX or something?

Even though I love preludes... you can't compare to the S2000 man.. RWD!!!
No contest, <U>I</U> would get the 6spd S2000 without even thinking about the prelude. Basically the S2000 is faster,lighter,handles better,and also RWD!!
The S2000 pretty much out performs the prelude in everyway stock vs stock. Except when the S2000 flips over for some reason then your gonna be screwed.
Hope you have money for more insurance etc.
