A C5 vette isn't exactly in the same price range..

and the op was asking about s2ks not asking what he should get

you actually save a bit more than that. the price you see down in the states is the listed price, you could probably haggle for a few thousands more. if you have the time, importing one is definitely a better direction to head

^^ just make sure you can get the recall leter from honda usa

That's true. I keep forgetting that there is some room for bargaining.

Looking at Honda Way in Abbotsford though, they have some really low mileage cars....if they're good cars, I don't mind paying a little more.

The only way the S2K is a great daily driver is.... if you have another daily driver:D.

Death2Theft 02-09-2011 09:25 AM

Why because american/german cars have inferior tires?

Or boost the vette and your back to square 1 smart guy. Most of you s2k fanboy corvette haters have never driven a corvette. If you want to live your life based on judging magazine photos of interiors good for you. Personally i'll take being able to do 70kmph in 6th gear, over having to kick in vtak to get out of your own way up a hill.

Alot of the S2K's at Honda Way are U.S imports,they mark the prices up really high,higher than anyone else,I am also in the market for a S2K,I've been to that dealership already,they are a ripoff.

You won't be paying a little more,you are going to be paying ALOT more if you buy from them.

Or swap 2jzGTE into s2k and smoke boosted vette.

I think the point of the statement of boosting a s2k was in some way supposed to convey the idea a boosted s2k would be faster and CHEAPER than a Z06.

Plus, again, you dont have corvette interior, "McHappy Meal" toys are a higher grade of plastic than the vette dash.

Death2Theft 02-09-2011 09:37 AM

Does the hardtop give you much more interior space since it goes around and "outside" the soft top? Does it help much in the way of road noise?

Death2Theft 02-09-2011 09:40 AM

So you've ruined the weight balance of the car and have admitted that the s2k can't keep up without an engine from another manufacturer. Thanks for playing. :failed:

Now jasonricerturbo, let me know when a 2jz makes 1000hp on pump gas no meth. 1750+hp on the 427 on 109 octane without swapping in another engine from a different manufacturer.
Remember anything you add the corvette can too. Now if you want to play the engine swap game welcome to 2300hp low boost.

The hardtop does not give you anymore interior space,not any you will notice anyways.What it does do is,keeps road noise down to a minimum and keeps the heat in during cold weather.

.....it also looks cool with one too.

There's no need to do a motor swap on a S2K,they have already proven themselves with the boosted motors they came with.

The S2K is regarded highly and is considered to be in the Supra territory(or the next Supra)when it comes to making power on a stock or built block.

I'm not saying I would swap the 2jz into a S2k, merely pointing out that I thought that was a retarded arguement altogether. I believe the S2k is a great car the way it came from the factory, it's more than fast enough to keep me amused.

Since when is 109 pump gas? Where do you live?

This thread was never about vette vs S2k, so I'm not sure why vette-fanboys are in here trying to tell us how there car's are superior?

Nothing you can say about a vette changes the fact that the interior is about as fantastic as that of a Geo Metro.

Hardtop, the oem one is nice, aftermarket not so much... more suited to race car. The interior of oem hard top is nicely upholstered, and does create the feeling of a little more interior space. The soft top lets lots of noise in compared to a conventional hard top... the oem hard top cuts down on noise a lot.

Supra territory? Hardly lets just say the supra didn't break valve springs on stock power daily driving.

Did you miss the period? 1000+ on pump 92 octane. Did that clarification help?

Driving the cramped2k the last thing I was looking at was the interior, I did really like the radio controls on the left. I guess there was time spent staring at the interior, as I was waiting for the revs to come up trying to make it up big hills. When your driving a fun responsive 2 seater sports car what the fuck are you doing mucking around with the interior? Go drive a 4 door and fiddle with your fancy interior while the kids are fighting in the backseat.

the vette will cost more than the s2k up front, but lets not kid ourselves, it WILL be faster. and you really dont wanna get into the 'bang for the buck' mod argument with someone running an LSx engine..

Do you just drive up hills all day?

Death2Theft 02-09-2011 11:05 AM

Thats hilarous coming from someone that lives in n.van, it's also nice when u want to pass the soccer mom in the suv without downshifting and sounding like your street racing.

!e.lo_ 02-09-2011 11:17 AM

For a daily, one would look for practicality, gas consumption, maintenance costs, reliabilty, ease of driving/parking, comfort, and most important, in my view, how the car makes you feel.
There's other factors as well, but if an S2000 fits the bill, why not dd one?
