Enjoy it, the S2k is a very fun car to drive and very reliable as well. I can understand your switch since I have both the 8 and a car that is very similar to the S2k since with the few mods it has similar handling and speed that it does.

Also, FYI that's not the spoon hardtop it's honda's attempt at making the s2k into a hardtop coupe for the s2000 for the next generation. They have since changed it and that will not ever go into production.

You won't regret getting the S2k. I've owned one before purchasing the 8. IMO, I'd trade the 8 back in and get the S2k, but then again, I need a car with some room.

Good choice, you won't regret it. Make sure you change the tranny and diff oil early and often.

The S2000 is a great car. I think it's a bit more challenging to drive at the limit than the 8, and it's not as practical. Both are great cars. Here are mine.

This isn't a knock against the 8, it's really about AP1's (2000-2003 2.0L and 9k RPM) vs. AP2's (2004-present 2.2L and 8k RPM). There's always a debate about which one's a better car. Personally I like the AP2 since I have one.

Are you being sarcastic? Internetz often sucks since you can't always tell. If yes then that's cool, if not then just fyi it's a fact that with 3 simple bolt-ons they're as fast in a straight line as a S2k and stock for stock the handling is very similar with the s2k having the slightly better handling.

Not really, you can get a used 00 S2000 for 10-11K and a used 04 RX-8 for 14. Combined that's about the drive out price of a new Civic SI.

Well since you had a AT RX-8, I'm personally happy you got rid of it.

I, too, can't wait to see the Mazdaspeed Miata. It will probably be out of my price range though...

That's true. Are you on the s2ki forum by any chance? I'm usually in the MA or R&C forum.

nice car.....

but trading in the RX-8 for the S2000 isnt much of an upgrade. Both of the cars are very similar. I guess The S2000 feels more sportier.. Enjoy your new car!
