If the S2000 was never invented...

RomeoHotel · 09-24-2009, 07:50 PM

what car would you own right now (in it's place)?

RL1924 · 09-24-2009, 07:56 PM

Prob 350z or STI

Wait a minute lol... Not to be a pain in the ass but didn't you curse us all off and say you were ashamed to have the same car?

Jim21680 · 09-24-2009, 08:12 PM

Hey butthead, I'm still waiting for your appearance in Philly....your keelhauling awaits.
I'll try to be a gentleman...but why are you on this forum???

Jim21680 · 09-24-2009, 08:13 PM

P.S...I'd very likely own a BMW Z4 (before the big redesign). I know it's a snob's car, but I do like the styling. And you can't go wrong with straight-6s in sports cars....soooo nice!

RomeoHotel · 09-24-2009, 08:33 PM

Allright fellas Im gonna come clean. I might still get banned for what I did but it was just too much fun after those first responses. This forum just seemed dead and boring...it needed a jolt to get some blood pumping in here. It definitely worked. My name is Ryan Hunsberger. Its true i have a leased 2008, but i really only leased it as a tool for being able to finance it over 8 years instead of 5 (thats the only way i could afford it). I have no plans of messing with the odometer. I do not own a glock or any gun, but i really was a marine for 2 years between highschool and college. I would never use the term "punk ass bitches" in actuality. Turbo6, i have absolutely nothing against grand nationals, theyre awesome cars. Jim216 I have no problems with you either or your coolest cars. I dont know what keelhauling is but ill have to look that up. Doesnt sound pleasant. Isu i didnt really think your a racist, just playing with you. This is a good forum, hopefully youll all let me stick around.

TheSoundMan21 · 09-25-2009, 06:16 AM

dang man talk about an entrance to a fourm lol. Welcome

E46 M3
Z4
E36 M3

Oh and I would so go for the 370 but I dont think I could afford it.

'69 Cadillac El Dorado - Touché

JDMzimbo · 09-25-2009, 08:08 AM

370z or Sti. At our autox last weekend a brand new bone stock 370z on stock brigstones was the fastest car out there, I know alot is up to the driver but thats still pretty impressive considering the cars that were out there.

turbosix · 09-25-2009, 08:10 AM

no clue... it is a toss up. i really wanted a G8 GT, but i was hoping for a 6 speed and they only offered them in the GXP which was about twice what i wanted to pay for a car.

i had looked long and hard at a few 6spd LS2 GTOs as well but the 6spds were all private owners, all the dealer cars were autos, which i wasnt looking for.

i might also have found a c5 vette in the same price range around then but i figured insurance would be more than the S... so i didnt look too hard.

i found a few evos and sti's close to the price range but i hate 4 door cars...

TheCarGuy2021 · 09-25-2009, 08:25 AM

1st choice MKIV Supra
2nd choice C5 Z06
3rd choice G35/37

gomarlins3 · 09-25-2009, 08:27 AM

BMW Z3M. That's what I tried to buy before I got the S. BMW wouldn't come down on the price, so I got mad and left. Ordered my S2000 the next day. I thank BMW often for making me mad that day.

lonestarbuzz · 09-25-2009, 08:31 AM

i would invent the S2000. or go with an sti or M roadster.

RomeoHotel · 09-25-2009, 11:06 AM

No Boxsters, Miatas, or RX-8s huh? Interesting.

Now when I see you guys say R32s, Vipers, Aston Martins, etc....I have to assume youd mean 2nd-hand cars (cause theyre a bit pricier of course). Or could you have afforded them new and bought them instead of the S2000???????

flyingarmadillo · 09-25-2009, 11:10 AM

Probably an Elise
Possibly a Z4

Dr. Jimbo · 09-25-2009, 11:14 AM

RH, you must be related to pwnedS2k.

Dr. Jimbo · 09-25-2009, 11:15 AM

Oh yeah, the question:
'01 or '02 Laguna Seca Blue BMW M3 convertible

Jim21680 · 09-25-2009, 11:22 AM

If I could find one in good shape, I may have gone with a 3rd generation RX-7. But, then I'd loose the Honda reliability and infinite headroom.

I have to agree with GoMarlins - BMW just aggravated me when I inquired about the Z4. I am so glad I went with the S2000; it's a much more enjoyable car. Raw & visceral, no snob appeal, and probably cheaper to maintain.

TheSoundMan21 · 09-25-2009, 11:34 AM

dude I aint no rich kid this car take a whole heck of alot of my cash flow. Bought it for 20k 2 years ago with only 40k on the clock. The M3s are just now getting close to my price range. But I wanna keep the S.

RX-8? Miata? wtf The S runs circles around those cars like mad.

Java Junky · 09-25-2009, 11:36 AM

"This forum just seemed dead and boring...it needed a jolt to get some blood pumping in here."
Thanks RH. I thought it wuzz jus' me.

Oh, R1 Yam.
Semper Fi buddy.

RomeoHotel · 09-25-2009, 11:44 AM

well java i admit it was an unconventional way of introducing myself to a forum, but id say it did work. and thanks for reminding me, i need to update my "about me" section and take some of the meat-headed-ness out of it. it was all a character base.

hey i wouldnt disregard the RX-8 and miata like that. the S2000 might be a tad quicker than both of them, but on some tracks that advantage might disappear. i still wont call the RX-8 a true sports car cause it has 4 doors and 4 seats. thats a compromise in my opinion.

RealJoKeR · 09-25-2009, 11:51 AM

ON SECOND THOUGHT......THE CATERHAM SUPERLIGHT 500

I do respect the Miata for what it is... but the RX-8 is a joke and I dont really care what anyone says about it. Its a ok 4 seater everyday driver but its not a sports car. The RX-7 is a sports car.

Keelhauling is when you are on a pirate ship. They tie a rope to your feet and another to your hands and they pass one end under the the keel of the ship. Then they slowly pull you down under the keel and up the other side. I believe very few survive.

On a brighter note I would have an Alpha Romeo 165.
