Oh boy...
Honestly, I used to take and post the same set of pictures with just slight angle variations...now, I pick the ones I REALLY like and discard the rest and post here and there.

^^^ no doubt, Steven...I would too. That thing is fantastic.
Quoted from the JS + BRZ thread because it stated how I feel about the S2000 too.

I get wanting more power and how orgasmic 600000000hp is, but at the same time I also get what makes these fairly light weight, moderately powered cars so fun to drive. There is nothing like revving the balls off a car in the twisties and being in complete control without having to baby it or be worried about the back end coming out. I would get to use that extra power when I'm getting on the freeway or showing off, that's about it.
Though I've never driven a BRZ, I'm willing to bet its got more than enough power and revs to get you into trouble. The amount of tuning, overheating/issues, supporting mods, etc never seems to be worth it, IMO. I would be more than fine with a tune, I/H/E and sticky tires...some of which you've already got. There's no turbo that I would love more than the love I have for knowing when I turn the key, it will start every time and never let me down. There will always be a faster car on the block, let them have the headache.

Sub'd because I need to see all this sexiness. I go away from Azine for a couple months and notice you have a S2k now and first thing popped into my head. Did he really get rid of the TL....
Glad to see I was wrong.

hahah....
well i think your garage is "complete"
got a 2 seat sports car, a sedan and an SUV....I feel depending on the need and want, if you want to buy a BMW/Audi sedan, then get rid of the TL...or if you want to get a Mustang, then am guessing the S2K will be out....but again, thats just what I would do LOL

Honestly, listening to exhaust notes from 5.0's and seeing Steve's Vette make me seriously desire american muscle at some point. We'll see...no rush either way.

Agreed. I'm about to pass the G over to my mom and start hunting for 5.0's.

Dude, those LS swaps are SO much money though!
But yeah, I'd love that...there's a guy on s2ki that has a build...he already had a gorgeous turbo set up...nope, not enough...must go large volume turbo LS set up.

yeah, am with Jeremy on this one...even though it would be a sick setup, it will ruin the entire balance of the car, IMO....its a nice 4 cylinder high revving engine, throw a blower on it, tune it, call it a day....
the amount of aftermarket support the S2K community has it amazing...plus with people always switching their setups, its easy to catch a nice deal too

Seriously, the natural progression for next-car has to be the NSX. 
The weather there is conducive to owning such a ride. Roads are in good condition...what's more to ask for?
If he defies this recommendation, I'll ban him to the forum with Italiano.

You'd be surprised actually, LSx motors are not THAT heavy in comparison to the power you get out of them vs the stock F20/F22.
