Should i buy a s2000?

2000 Civic Si or s2000....so far i think im going with the s2000 but ive been hearing from people that the s2000 is a waste of money. With the civic si i will have lots of money to play around with where as with the s2000 i wont have as much. When ever i look in a import mag all i see is civics and s2000's dont know which would be better for me. What do you guys think...peace

well..there's many parts for the s2000
all the major companies, DC sports, AEM, Comptech...etc. have parts

if you're really determined to play around with the car, maybe you should get the civic, but you'll be spending alot before a stock 2000 civic Si can run with a s2000

Get the S2000 for one simple reason, it's a sports car. A civic is not a sports car, never was, never will be. The S2000 is RWD, the civic is FWD, enough said.

Also, there are lots of things you can do with an S2000. The best probably being a comptech supercharger.

If you just want something to play around with, sure a civic might be nice. But if you want a real sports car, one thats really going to perform, get the S2000.

I test-drove an S2000. IN MY OPINION for $36,000 I think you'll get more enjoyment out of modding a 1994 Civic... and you'll beat the S2000 too!

So far ive had many people tell me to go with the civic si but recently i test drove the Nissan Sentra SER Spec V and it is a lot of car for the price. Now many people are telling me to go with the spec v and some are telling me to go with civic si. I think those are my 2 picks right now...im not sure if i am willing to spend $30,000 for the s2000. People are telling me that they can take 6g's and make the spec v a way faster car then the s2000. What can you guys tell me about the Spec v and maybe shine some light on this problem i have.

Well, new cars aren't exactly perfect, but there IS less chance of a new 2002 being red-lined every Friday night than a used car. I would go for the new Nissan, but I just don't know of ANY mods for it. If U do then cool:smoka:, but having a car with no potential for mods is frustrating. On my DMC, every mod is custom and takes four times as long to make/install

And you'll be driving a car that EVERYONE and their grandmother has, it's slow as balls to begin with, doesn't have much potential.. yadda.. yadda.. yadda.. I drive a Civic, I know.

If front wheel drive made sense, why aren't there front wheel drive fish???

no...it's not bad
the 6th gen civic is one of the nicest gen's of civics i've seen, along w/ the 5th gen EG6

the SE-R spec V is nice
comfy skyline seats...nice engine

lots of stuff for the SE-R too
check Sport Compact Car, they have a project SE-R
it should help you if you decide to mod it

GET THE S2000

Civics are so...bland everyone has them... all the highschool kids that waste their cash on them have one. I mean most of them look nice...but they are so ugly. no offense to neone. But the S2000 would be much much nicer. And when you mod it up a lil they look a helluva lot better than a civic
