I was just about to say the same thing. I think the online car clubs have matured quite a bit in the past three years and I'd be a little surprised if the same thing were to happen over on that forum nowadays. Education does wonders for people.

I was actually considering the S2000 myself at one point. People should really take price out of the comparison when comparing sports cars. You're not worried so much about "value" as you are about getting what you want, so why try to say that something is overpriced?

*shrug*

S2K is a nice car...for me to poop on!

Yeah, they really corrected the torque issue. Instead of having none, it now has next to none. LOL!

I wouldn't buy that torque-less car for $5.

i agree. As a daily driver i would like the low end torque. Oh well. I love Honda and have been a honda customer since I was young. Now for me I need a change. Reading from that site it kinda made me laugh that some people don't respect other people's taste. "just because i have a honda I have to LOVE honda" Last night i read that some guy picked up a HOT chick from the gym and it turned out dramatic that yeah s2k's can pick up HOT girls. lol. How funny.

I know these three guys.
One guy was former junior racer (who's friends with/raced against a current f1 driver)
another guy is the best driver I know (instructor)
a third guy has a GT3 and is the most well informed techinically speaking guy I know.

well...
the junior racer has teh S2000 and yearns for a BoxsterS,
the instructor who has driven EVERYTHING would marry the s2000 is it were a a woman.
and Mr. GT3 who is also very quick, has owned the BoxsterS and teh S2000 and loves both.

my conclusion: guys who drive sportscars(well) love both.

well one thing i somewhat noticed when they say they have a kill is that the probability of the boxsters that they have raced are early model boxsters. Nowadays boxsters are soo common that probably the percentage, hmm around 70% are around those years.
