Ok so, Not exactly sure what's gonna be going down in the next few years but may be heading to grad school for fulltime PhD work or will continue to work fulltime and get an MBA. Sorta up in the air. I wouldn't be keeping the car for very long. Might be two years before i start Phd and would need to get rid of the car.

Anyway, love my CLS and don't think i could or would ever get rid of it. Just too much of an all around car to trade for something not very practicle. I though instead of purchasing a car, maybe leasing an s2k? Am i better off buying an older car and then getting rid of it when i want to sell?

 

Is it really worth the money to get a second car right now?

 

I have that same itch, it just won't go away.

Anyway, I think you should buy used. Same some $$$.

 

no the decision isn't smart or practicle i'm ignoring that part of my brain for once in my life. Thought it would be something fun to have before marriage, house and perhaps 5 years of school where practicality will be the rule of thumb.

 

You only live once.

 

that's what i'm thinking for a little while it'd be fun to have.

 

Why not get something that can be both fun an practical? You can always get another CL-S later on in life, especially if Honda decides to revive it in RWD form. You should get an EVO or STi and save yourself the hassle or balancing between practicality and fun.

 

do it.

you won't regret it. s2k is sooooo much fun.

 

I plan to buy one as soon as used 04, 05's are affordable.

 

I have that itch too, lol.

S2k's are getting to be VERY affordable. I have heard 05's can be had for below 30k, if you look around... personally I would be happy with an 02 for 20-22k...

 

S2k or bust i'm not really considering anything else. I've driven it a few times and absolutely love it. As far as the CLS goes i'd like to keep it because I really don't plan on keeping the s2k long. If end up having to get rid of the s2k, then i always have the CLS.

 

life is short - you gotta enjoy it man.

 

agreed, that's what i'm thinking but realistically, i wouldn't be able to do a two car situation until next summer. If i wanted something now i'd have to get rid of the CLS. The problem would be in the winter. Can't have RWD with as much driving as i do.

 

.. in the same boat... ready to get rid of the CL-S and get an S2000....

... i yet

 

maybe we can get s2k.acurazine.com?

 

A droptop Civic. great idea.

I wouldn't own one, but that's just me and a matter of opinion.
Keep what u gots!

 

^

im not gonna even get into how awesome the S2K is. With an S2K, you're a supercharger away from perfection.

 

about the only thing it has in common with a civic is the manufacturer.

 

below 5K RPM's its a SITTING DUCK and its the SAME thing as a civic.

 

no TQ.

TQ= what gets u outta the hole.

 

*warning* these are only opinions and impressions after spending extending periods of time behind the wheel.
To each their own.

 

mmm...

That looks TIGHT.

Supercharged, YES!!!!!

 

yes and no my reasons for getting a s2k is not to have a burner....well aware of the below 5k situation.


reasons:

1- how connected to the road you are
2- f2x what an engine
3- drop top that looks good

 

true....yes although at most the only mod(s) i'd do would be exhaust and intake.

 

i hope you have another car... my friend has one and we carpool...

on the days when he briungs his car, i cant bring my duffle bag of tools... there is no space for anything. it gets VERY annoying if thats your means of transportation

 

yea that's why i wouldn't sell the CLS......

 

true there is no torque.... doesn't mean its not still fast as hell and fun to drive.


I like mine more and more every time I drive it. The handling is amazing, and ABOVE 5k...its an animal.

 

Enjoy

What kinda price/month would it cost to lease?

 

you guys are silly.

 

sick.

from what I've read I/E do almost nothing for the hp, so I wouldn't imagine stock vs. stock would be much different.

 

yeah, the thing I hate about the S2k is, it doesn't have as much torque as a Viper. GOD I mean.. WTF.

 

Cool vid!

I wonder what the outcome of the races would've been with the camera guy in the S2K instead of the G35C.

 

lol

honestly though, it doesn't have a lot of torque. the tq in the cls feels good after driving the s2k.

but, its just something to get used to. it doesn't really slow the car down, you just need to gas it. there is still enough to throw it into donuts without more than 5 feet of head start, thats good enough for me.

 

lol

 

Exactly. I'm well aware it doesn't have a lot of torque. Every car has its strong and weak points, obviously. You just have to know how to use what you got... wind it through to 9k in the first 3 gears and you are already doing well over the speed limit - JUST TWO GEARCHANGES and you are hitting almost 90. Hit the top of 4th and you are right around 115 - with two more gearchanges to go.

 

That is an awesome vid.

Buy an S2k. I just bought a new vehicle and I still want an s2k

 

I'd rock one.

 

You guys have to stop posting videos like this... just when I think I'm happy with my CLS again, I have to look at this and think that it might be nice to have a s2k around for the summer (4 months)
