Rwd roadster wanted! Advice :)
« on: 21 January 2013, 17:51 »
I'm feeling I want a fast rwd roadster as my next car, the only ones that I've thought of are z3m and a s2000. Looked at mx5 but cant see me enjoying their power! Porches is a no go as imagine there parts prices are too steep.

I'd have about £7k to spend.

But again at s2000 with only 168lb torque :/ My current clio as 140 odd I think and thatll be much lighter!

Advice please, running costs included :)O

God knows how it ended up in here! Mod could you move to off topic chat please :)

S2000

When your grinning through the bends at 8000rpm you wont be thinking torque figures

Numbers are just pub talk anyway, S2000 is a great car to drive  :wink:

I've driven quite a few S2000's and really wonder what all the fuss is about! just boring, and not that quick!

7k is nudging towards decent BMW M3 money, absolute bargains to be had, no brainer!
Roadster or not...

Agree with M3 money. These s2000's are over rated and boring as! Only good thing about the S2000 is the roof down in summer.

You could be mega camp and get the TT roadster 225 and 4WD.

Porsche and Genuine Honda parts are about the same price  :grin:

Hmm yeah I think I'll have to try the s2000, although the z3m is still top, 320hp witwooo. Would want a 01-02 plated z3m, comes with s54 340bhp engine from the e46 m3. But theyre very rare.

On a serious note, what's the idea of the rwd? M3 is a good comp but £800 disks  :whistle: and running costs! Not cheap! S2k is a nice looking car! Not the fastest but mehh Who needs power when your screaming at silly rpm!
