"HELP" i need your advice....

do you guys think i should trade my 04 8 in for a 05 rs? do you guys think its worth it?

somethings wrong with my evo don't know if its the t-case or clutch i think its the clutch i do hear howling a little bit in the lower gears but i have too really ride the clutch from a stop in first to get it going not even trying to go fast or anything if i don't ride the clutch it just boggles around intill the rpms go up a little and it not smooth what you guys think?

so instead of me replaceing the clutch or t-case i was going to trade the car in i went in once and they offered me $22,500 how much more will it go down when the 9's come out?

do you guy think i should trade it in now before the 9's come out? trade in value seemed pretty low i don't want it to drop anymore and then get it

i'm pretty sure that i want to stick with the evo but i was think a lot about the s2000 i use to have a 350z i loved it but you could not drive in the snow at all even with snow tires i think i can get away with the snow thing with the s2000 because of the amount of torque
but i was think about how reliable the s2k is i know honda is reliable but what about the s2k it is still a high performance car i heard they have the best 6 speed

the z seemed pretty reliable what do you guys think is more reliable z/s2k as in engine wise i loved that 3.5 liter v6 a lot of torque or 2.2 liter 7500 rpm limit i know nothing about this engine i know it use to be 2.0 with 9000 rpm rev limit can somebody tell me a thing or too about the s2k engine like how reliable it is? does it compare with the vq 3.5

sorry for the repost i didn't think anyone would help me on that thead! & know i'm not rich and made out of money! but i want to know more about the s2k is it anymore reliable then the z/evo and why? i know the evo gets a lot hotter because its boosted and i think it works harder too but it has a stong block cast iron i think someone said they had a s2k on this board hows the tanny is it bulit proof does the hp per liter make it any less reliable like the Z is 82 HP per liter and the s2k is like 110 per liter does that mean its working harder??

why do you say that the dealer here on long island is selling a new black one at 30300 well under msrp i think the sticker was 33000 but we talk down to 30300 fast but he wanted to only give me 22 & a half G's for my 04 8 with 11000miles

the s2k was not a test car so he would not let me drive it too bad "i love the car's looks"

its pretty small too

Ugh, you are such a waste of breath. WHY ARE YOU ASKING US ABOUT S2000s???? Leave us the hell alone and sell your Evo, PLEASE!!! You are a plague filled with run-on sentences and stupid questions who reposts everything over and over...

Not in the snow If I were you i'd trade for an Evo IX or VIII MR.

What I think about the s2K is that if you decide to buy new, i'd rather buy a used NSX.
