Sell Evo for S200. . .???

Hey guys, i've been thinking about getting rid of the evo for awhile now, but wasn't sure what I wanted. Recently, I fell in love with Honda S2000's. What do you guys think? The Evo is a great car, but I kind of want an S2000

I only prefer s2000's with hardtops only, there the only ones that really attract me. Oh yea and would it be turbo? If not I would say stick with the awt turbo =D

The only thing that sucks is the S2k is only a 2 seater, But I also have another car (my Integra) that has room for more

Things I noticed:
S2k has no torque compare to the Evo.
Steering feel on the Evo is much sharper, the S2k feels pampered.

they are both great cars. of course the evo is much faster, takes well to mods. the evo can also take you and 4 friends confertably into a snow storm with no problem.

what it comes down to it keep the evo if you want to go fast

get the s2000 if you want to look good

I would keep the EVO..

However, if you do buy a S2000 I would try to make sure its a 2.2L motor and stay away from F20c (mainly the early motors).

(*PERSONAL OPINION HERE*) I think it comes down to a problem of high RPM and lack of oil on the early cars. I am sure Honda knows of the problem and if you look at the changes to the motor it makes sense. They beefed up the oiling on the later F20c cars and then they switched to a lower RPM motor. Personally, I think the later F20c fix was a temporary thing as they where not sure if it would cure the problem and only did it so they could retool to produce the 2.2l motor. Also, anyone who says that they went to the 2.2l for more TQ well to me it doesn't make sense. They have been building cars like the Civic SI for awhile while hearing complaints about its low end performance and that is in a faimly style car. Now for no apparent reason they change the sports car motor for no HP gain? I don't buy it.

Personally, I like the S2000 and I think any car that had the failure would have already failed. However, I think that I would feel better with my own driving style knowing that I did all I could to not be one of the few that had to deal with a blown motor.

If you sell for an S2K, I'd get an 03 S2K and immediately put on a hardtop and turbo.

i dunno man, sometimes i wish i still had my integra. the hatch can be way more practical than the 4 doors. I've hauled dressers, and TVs and bikes in an integra, I can't do the same in my Evo.
