anyone coming from an s2000?

Comparing the Z to the S2000 is one thing as they are similarly priced, but to the RSX just doesn't make sense. Although I feel that the Z and the S are completely different cars, the price point is there.

The RSX-S is 10k less than the Z. It's designed as a high rev, low torque sporty hatchback with a luxury flare. If you take 10k and put it into an RSX of course you can beat a Z. However, what does "beat" mean. Even with just a I/reflash/coils/sway I keep up with Z's in SCCA. In a straight line I would lose, but I like turning more than mashing a pedal. If I just cared about going fast I would go FI and beat the Z still with 10k. There's also the space issue. I have backseats in my RSX, with the 2000 and Z you lose this.

What my point is, it's all down to preference. Do you care about fit and finish, turning, torque, acceleration, handling, space, etc?

EDIT: Just to mention, I'm getting a 370z as my next car. At the time for 22k you couldn't beat the RSX package imo.
