I picked this one up for ~10,000. I couldn't find many C6 vettes in the price range and the interior on C5s reminds me too much of F-bodies in high school.
I bought a 4 cylinder

AP1 ftw! AP2 was made for the sissies that couldn't handle how violent the vtech hit. And "stooks" are getting really reasonable. The only thing is, if something breaks, its a grand to fix it. My bff had one as a dd and it fell apart around 100k. BUT, extremely fun car. I learned to drive stick on it.
a friend of mine has one and he let me take it for a test drive. It really is a fun car, taking it all the way to redline was crazy seeing it near 9k rpms. The only thing I did not like was when slamming through the gears about half way through 2nd it has this weird "death wobble". The whole car would shake and wobble for a split second...if you are not expecting it, it would scare the hell out of you!!
i would never be able to drive a honda miata. seems like a chick car to me. but to each his own.
lsx swap soon?
you're a chick......right?
LOL im 5'7" and my dad is 6'6" :bored: my mom is 5'1":nonono:
I've driven a miata, no comparison. I finally have another vehicle I can drive to finish the body and paint work on the stang. And for anytime I feel less manly about my car choice I jump in the project.
I've seen the videos, but that is just a pipe dream for now. I'm going to DD this thing and keep it close to stock. I've swapped the engine in and out of that Mustang 3 times now so I don't even want to think of doing it again right now!

How close are you to being done with this???? I NEED pictures of finished product!!!
You care too much about what people think.
Miatas are fun as shit and I can only imagine S2Ks are as well.
So far it's been going on 3 years. The 2000 GT was a complete running car when I bought it. I drove it back from Florida and stripped everything out of it. I put EVERYTHING from the Mystichrome back into it. From headlight plug to taillight plug. All the weather seals and interior. I'm way too OCD I guess. Now that I have another mode of transportation I am swapping the IRS center section into the 8.8 I left in this and sliding some 31 spline axles in. I need some Mach 1 caliper brackets to mount my larger rotors. Then up next is body prep. I'm still trying to decide on paint and which body kit to put back on it. I have a complete Saleen kit including C pillars ready to go on it but now I'm toying with the idea of just throwing the Terminator panels back on and painting it black. Sell the interior for a couple of nice seats and rear delete. I'll be posting a thread as soon as the body work starts.
The S2000 is a great car. Sad that Honda stopped production of them in 2009. A couple of years ago I was thinking about buying a Miata (I've always loved them and they're fun to drive) and wanted to check out an S2000 but unfortunately they weren't available, and I really needed something a bit bigger. The Miata is a good buy, but IMO the S2000 is the better car of the two.
Awesome Mystichrome Brad.

Sounds like your buddy's car had something wrong then. I dont see how a light car that produces almost no torque and has IRS rear and a race-inspired suspension should have a death wobble unless something is wrong.
Dude you already drive a Dodge Ram. The only thing more pussified would be a Prius.
