you are correct. before the evo and sti came out, all the magazines raved about how great the s2000 was. but i have to emphasize the BEFORE the evo came out.

And how about that sh1thead article some sh1thead posted on your boards about how crappy the Evo is compared to the S2k? Guess it goes both ways, sh1thead.
I tried to be polite and I don't agree with our front page, I sated as much in my first post... And I'didn't generalize, I said that HE was making Evo owners look like sh1theads.

Nice try though
Both Have 6-speed, both have stiff suspensions (Bilstein in the Miata), both have NA inline 4cylinder engines that go to the rear wheels with a LSD. Both convertables, both have a version of variable Valve timing, both very light weight. Of yeah, no similarities at all. Arrogant dushbag

I thought I'd politely share info with you guys and was hoping to show that not all S2000 owners are dumbasses.

With all the quality replies I keep getting from you guys I'm starting to believe I'm waisting my time.

Not really. I haven't read all of your posts but you haven't come off as an *** from what I've seen. The only retard is the yellows2000 kid.
