Isn't that the same with the 3 Series of BMW then? LOL

They are N/A 2jz motor with around 10:1 compression. So very strong stock. Its like turboing a N/A supra. I recall there 450rwhp turboed N/A supra on this board.

would be the ultimate sleeper.

sure the s2k is quite on the expensive side but damn the s2k a awesome quality car, what u pay for is what u get. There around the same price as the 350Z and the IS300, and I still would buy the S2000 if i had to do it again.

yeah it is actually if you're going to be a baller, be a BALLER


(however, I actually like the 3 series bmw's because they're smaller and cuter, in my opinion)

If you don't get the IS300 or the S2000, get an M3. Like a 2001 or something, be around same price, and it is sexy as balls.

I havent seen many modded S2ks around. I think that the ones that post here make it seem like there is. I'm a Honda and Toyota Fan so picking comes don't to practicallity. If you would have said asked about buying a used Supra or a brand new S2000 then this would be a better poll. In this situation I'll give the S2000 the upper hand but the Altezza TTE is awesome and would give a kidney if it would have came to the states.
