i was just kidding because you might be getting one...
i just never set my sights on them, but I do think they are cool.
The guy that bought my old TE37 put them on one of those!
My buddy had a flip light 1991, I think...it was cool...I think he added Nitrous.

My prelude was probably the best handling car I've ever had. I miss that car

Probably wouldn't go that far but it is up there. Handled better than my TL for sure. I'd pay decent money for a clean 5th gen

Ultimate driving machine, my ass. Just shows what a light and nimble car can do. The M4 eats the s2000 on the straights, but the s2000 annihilates it in the corners. Every corner. You can see how early the M4 has to brake before a corner while the s2000 is still hauling ass. Might be the M4 needs a driver mod, but there’s no denying that weight kills performance on the track, regardless how much power you have.

Even the GTR wasn't running away in the curvy bits.
Methinks the S2k driver knows his way around the 'Ring.

Also, a bit a tthe driver being all geared up & passenger chilling in a t-shirt with no helmet

That driver of the M4 probably doesnt even know what "line" means.... he was all over the place.

But yah familiarity of a track > all the power in the world.

It's called "blocking" bruh. Maybe if you were a racer, you'd know about it.

Yeah, I bet he didn't use his turn signal either ;.. fucking asshole drivers.


Although, the white BMW 3 series coupe that cut me off this morning did use his turn signal

Sabine Schmitz could be in a Suzuki Cappuccino and could still beat me in an M3 around the 'Ring. For an extreme comparison.

I think I had it priced a bit too high, going to lower price.

Was it a base, or a Type SH you had?

I'm going to go look at a 2000 SH with 78k miles, this Saturday. I’ve read that ATTS system it has is pretty gangster.

How much is it to list? You can look up what all s2ks sold on there for. It’ll give you a good idea what you can get for yours. Minus the selling fee.

BaT is THE place to get the most coin for your ride. Although your mileage is low in terms of most s2ks, I don’t know if it’s BaT premium dollar low.

Looks like the going rate for an unmodified AP2 with lower miles is ~$20k which is what I'm going to relist my car at. The only ones fetching super premium money are CR models.

Price to list is $100. There's no seller's fee, the buyer has to pay the buyer's fee though.

If it doesn't sell this fall it'll be kept waiting for you in my garage hooked to a battery tender as usual until spring time when you're ready.

I've been offered $21,000 recently and I have a torn driver's seat and 84,000 miles.

NOT SELLING IT. EVER.
