a 2001 s2000 was 32k msrp. adjusted for inflation, that would be 42k around a year ago or so.
maybe that's what he meant.

1. The mr2 is my 2seater garage queen while my FRS is my DD and has backseats if needed. Two 2seaters would not fly with the Mrs. 2. I'm a hardtop guy when talking pure performance. T-top mr2 is merely because it's a street car. Not race car. Don't hate, the mr2 is vintage. When was the last time you've seen t-tops and old school 90's interior lol. 3. Well I would hope you'd get something better in the S2000 than the fa20 (even if it was made 10 years ago) for what you paid for the car BRAND NEW. A $15,000 C5 corvette will slaughter all and would be my "go to" car if I really wanted performance per dollar. S2000 is mere child's play to the v8 Vette around a real track. 4. S2000 with the OEM hardtop is cool. But the car still doesn't have the neck snapping looks of the FRS. Purely my biased opinion... But I think everybody agrees on this forum, obviously!

I'm actually a diehard SW20 fan at heart. However, unlike you, I've been able to move past defending everything that I own(ed). Sure, folks at MR2OC continue to spout how vintage/rare the MR2 is, but to non-MR2 enthusiasts, every generation was simply a mashup of Corolla/Celica parts. |

I hate the used versus new argument. "Oh you can get x car for x price and is a better deal than the FRS". A c5z used Vette is my rebuttle to that stupid argument. At least I can say that I bought my FRS brand new fresh off the lot. Can you say the same about your glorified Honda? For something used and strictly performance oriented, the s2000 doesn't even make the cut for me. Better off with an nsx if you're really into Hondas. I could've easily gone out and got me one of those if I was selfish and splurged. Again, the FRS was purchased solely for the purpose of being a DD but with flare. When was the last time you fit 3 people in your s2000? And my mr2 is merely just a rare toy. It barely cost anything to own and I've got it registered as a classic. Funny how you try to attack it. I never peeped a word about my old school Toyota but you seem to like to bring it up. Maybe because I've got two sexy cars and your stuck with an bland looking ragtop Honda? If anything, I plan to add a c5 or c6 Vette to my stable. The mr2 is staying. The FRS is the DD. Chassis wise, FRS > S2000. Anybody can add power...

Anyone can add power, but you can't get rid of the negatives of a strut front suspension, ever. Only mitigate them. When was the last time you fit 3 normal sized adults in your FRS? |

The s2000 looks fantastic but the vert kills the lines... The brz looks 1000x better!

Last I checked, vettes were beating porsches in real racing. Also, FRS struts are not of the same quality or configuration as porsche, or even BMW struts. The car is built to its price. |

Dude, you'll come up with anything. I don't think that even the CGS team can convince you otherwise. Even though I never hated on the FRS, you are really trying too hard to justify your purchase. It's alright, guy, not everyone has to agree with you. I'm just from the internet.

And at it's price point for a BRAND NEW sports car in 2013/2014, it doesn't do so badly. Put a turbo on it and it will always be a threat! Miata's don't cut it- ewww rag top, and I didn't want a crazy turbo fwd 5door hatch - focus st or mazda3turbo. We're talking base price of $25k for a brand new car. Get a 2013/14 Honda Civic SI? Or why not get the FRS and potentially be a threat to V8's and stuff? I chose the FRS and I am so happy that I have this beast of potential. Can't get an S2000 new anymore and even if you could, it would I wouldn't care for it. S2000's are nice but don't draw me in. In that price range used, I'd rather go for the better c5/c6 vette. They're loaded with potential and will quickly make sauce out of an FRS or S2000. No contest against the vette for performance per dollar. Especially C6's since the c7 release. Should make for a monster raceway lapping animal. Hook it up with some Pfadt coilovers on some sticky rubber and pretty much put all this 4 banger shit to shame haha. But I need some form of backseats It just won't happen having TWO 2-seaters with the wifey lol. ...and the MR2 thing goes deep. Was a dream car of mine back in middle school. I don't think I could ever let the old relic go.
