Every time I read about S2000's I start looking at local classified ads. I drive so few miles in a year that doing something monumentally stupid like buying one with a rebuilt title (assuming it was superficial damage with records) even looks appealing because they are such a drat good value right now. That interior, that redline, that transmission! I appreciate your writing, would read again.

I have a friend that got a rebuilt one for $5k. A+ deal, would buy myself. (I was going to but he swooped it out from under me)

I'm starting to car shop now and it's between these two... I cannot believe how close in price they are these days. :suicide:

Protip, don't buy the BRZ :)

Why? :v: (Other than the lack of power)

S2000 is better at everything other than having a back seat

It's also basically the same price for something not silver, an AP2, and lower mileage. Hard to justify dropping that in cash versus spreading the money out over $300/mo.

Why would you think that

Probably because in the video he is referencing they mention that the Miata has gripper tires. Kinda funny that he only mentions it once and its deep in the video.

It's weird that the BRZ/FRS gets accused of having skinny tires, when the S2000 is only 10mm wider in the rear.

Well, that depends on your aspect ratio for the S2000. I know the 06 I used to have came with a 245/40 and a 255/40 would also fit. On the other hand, I think the AP1 came with 225/45s.
