My S2000 or Evo?

Hey guys, Im pretty new on here. I have a 2001 s2000 I purchased not to long ago, done some stuf to it and I plan on adding a turbo pretty soon. Should boost me to around 420rwhp and a WHOPPING 275rwtq! haha, anyway, before I got the S I really wanted a evo! a WW Evo to be exact. So what do you think? s2000 or evo for the price? Do you think its possible to trade straight up for a evo for my S?

I don't know, I thought S2000 were a little bit cheaper, I don't think you would get an even trade

Well it does have some stuff, like the OEM spoiler, which is an ad-on. OEM 6disk, and minor stuff like AP2 rear bumper, comptech adjustable coilovers, painted the facotry wheels gold, and the S is black...looks pretty good, but like I said, Evos are awesome cars, and I really like them

it wont be an even trade, but it'll be worth it for sure, Evos are amazing machines.

I had a 04' ap2. Personally I love the evo, its more livable on a daily basis.
I do have to say the top down was great on sunny days tho.

go for an evo man. maybe 11's in an s2k if you can get traction! get an evo, run 11's all day at the track...go home in the evo on the same tires and run low 12's on the streets;. with a buddy and 2 hot chicks (if you're single lol). g/l

I don't think you'll be runnin' 11's with that . . . and if you do, be ready for the repurcussions of those 8k launches. I drove an S2000 when I was looking at the Evo. I thought it was a pretty boring car, and I hated having to downshift anytime I wanted any power. I'd trade it for an Evo without even thinking.

If you're looking to drag it, then pick the evo for sure. It's already boosted, it will cost less, and take a lot less effort. For me personally, the s2k is a lil bit more fun to drive. But with your goals, go for the evo.

well, ive been doing research alot on the inline pro kit for my S....its rated at 430rwhp on 14psi....running high to mid 11's without race gas, safe for daily use. S2000s also dont get bad traction since they are 50/50 weight and almost 0 torque lol. Ok, but lets just say I trade for a evo. How much do you think I will be paying extra with trade in if any at all?
