Your opinion is what it is and respected...... mine is: i don't get why a car has to be masculine though? I mean i didn't buy my Z or the former S2000 because either one made me "look" a certain way. I bought the cars because for the price they were the best performing car. Only someone with low self esteem would need a car to look a certain way. Now i'm not saying i would drive a pink pinto just because it had a 460 in it with a blower, but i don't need a car to make me who i am. This car is a passion of mine but to be honest i don't care what other people think of what i drive. I know why i drive it. To me the S2000 looks a little plain jane but when you drive one it totally changes the way it you look at it. There is no other car to compare to the S2000 in its class, thats why i compare them to the Z. I wish i still had the S2000 so i could compare them side by side and drive each one back to back. Maybe i will by one next year......

And if you've ever driven the sky turbo you would call it a girl car before the s2000. Those sky's live up to the saturn name and i am sure the solstice lives up to the pontiac name=JUNK... thats why GM wouldn't slap the Chevy badge on either one. And as far as "hating" GM, that sounds like someone who doesn't know American cars. Look at to days domestic market, GM is stepping it up to compete with the world market, introducing the first full size SUV Hybrid. The have flexfuel offered in over half their vehicles. They are making changes, its ford and dogde that are falling behind. I actually heard Diamler Chrysler might quit making Dodge's for awhile.... i work for a manufacturing company that forges and machines parts for vehicles around the world, such as - Pretty much everything in Europe including Porsche, International, Ford, Allison, GM, Diamler-Chrysler, pretty much every major car company.

+1 ^ ... i've always loved how the z looked like tho...i could've wasted my money and bought a faster neon srt-4 or the super handling of a subee sti, but i stuck with the z coz i like how the interior feels and how it has a nice @SS...heheh...srt-4=glorified economy car, STI= feels like im driving a really fast corolla with its four doors and unsportscar-like interior. but that's just me...

the neon is not faster unless you do some work. The imprezza is ugly flat out, but a monster of a car.

My feeling on the neon, is it was ruined by local ricers. So to me you could have a 5 second SRT4 but its still a neon...... sorry.

jeez, you sound like a miata driver, it's a joke! I'm an avid autocrosser, I have seen first hand what miata's and S2K's are capable of, but we find reasons to pick on each other they make fun of my rusty datsun I question their sexual orientation it's all in good fun

as for S2K comparables, why not the Z4 or the Boxter? they would be closer in size

as for my hatred of GM...it all started back in 2004 when I bought a brand new Silverado Z71, it has since recieved a lot of warranty work and then plenty more once the warranty ran out, the truck now is over 4 years old and has over 80k miles on it and I've spend $2k in the past few months keeping this POS on the road, I'm not sure how GM gets repeat business

I am actually a huge fan of the ford escort, of course it was replaced by the focus a few years ago which does not fill the shoes of the escort IMHO, non interference engines that run forever and easy to work on with plenty of available and cheap parts

Dodge isn't going anywhere, in fact they will be rebadging the Versa as a dodge, and their history of rebadging forign products and moving production outside of the states has saved them from the UAW

Maybe the srt-4 that gave me an a$$ whoopin in the freeway was tweaked out... or at least that's how i like to think about it

It had to be, SRT4's are only like 225 crank HP. Bolt ons wake those cars up just like the EVO's and STI's : inter cooler upgrade, 3" piping, 3" exhaust, injector upgrade, things like that. Its not hard to buy these things when the turbo setup is standard. Buying the turbo setup is the expensive part.

S13SR20, i no longer have the car, it was #83. There is a thread discussing what happened with the car somewhere on this forum. However, I loved it very very much.
