Miatas also have indestructible doors :tup:
I would probably say get a 300zx TT if not an s2k. I was surprised whence found out how much a stock 300zx TT was putting to the wheels when I heard about JeffBlue getting one. He has a build thread in here somewhere if you can find it. |

S2k

See if you can find a low mileage last gen MR2 spyder. Awesomely balanced little cars and Toyota reliablity. Definitely not all that common either.
Or, wait a year, and see about the new FT-86 coming out. More money, tho'. |
If now isn't the right time for a 370 I'm not sure a TT 300zx is the best option. Maintenance is a PITA on them and good luck finding an affordable one that doesn't already have issues you would want fixed right away IMO.

buy a car that you can afford to mod. that's the fun part about cars haha

A '67 VW Beetle complete with surf rack, little chrome headlight "eyelids" and a fresh copy of Hot VW's magazine :D

I love my Z but in all honesty, if Honda still produced the S2k and I could pick one up today NEW from the factory I would get it in a heartbeat. Give me an AP1 engine but with the glass rear window from the AP2 model and I will happy.
I drove one a couple years back but it would have been financially irresponsible for me to get one being fresh out of college w/ loans to pay off etc. The S2k may not have the power of the Z but it is the quintessential roadster/sports car made in the last decade IMHO. Nothing like ringing out a car for every ounce of power while the revs climb to 9k rpm. :driving: |

Why is there such a fluctuation of prices on the s2k? And the is there any variation in the 2004-2009 models? By the way thanks very much for everyone's participation :) |

Regarding your S2k questions: 1999 - 2003 -> AP1 S2000's These had 2.0L engines that revved to the sky. The rear window on this model was plastic and tended to fade/cloud over time. General consensus is this first generation was more raw and harder to drive than the second gen models. 2004-2009 -> AP2 S2000's The displacement was upped from 2.0L to 2.2L. Power remained the same but the torque was increased. Redline was lowered. Suspension was tweaked and was more livable/easier to drive. AP2's also had minor cosmetic mods/different/larger wheels. Rear window was changed to glass also. I'm pretty sure I'm missing some other things too so others feel free to chime in. :hello: |

Technically, the s2k was only sold as a 2000 model on. The plastic rear window was only on the 00's, and some 01's. 02-03 had a glass window. General gist is the same, but 06 adds traction control, and suspension tweaks came pretty randomly (02 got a changes, as did 05 and 06). |
