So I test drove a Honda S2000 last night after seeing a few driving the freeway the past few weeks.
WOW. What a waste of time - I'm so disappointed.
I know this has a VTEC engine and you have to rev the engine really hard to make power but well, it's my first time to drive the car and it's just missing any punch. Low-end power is non-existent.
I think my former Audi TT (chipped) is much more powerful and is tighter than the S2K. I guess the new Z4 will be a good candidate for me.

honestly...it all depends on your price range. If I had a choice, I would get the 335i coupe and chip that thing...that engine has a shitload of power lol. If you are on a low budget, the new 370z is amazing. The z06 is also a great car and it is not that expensive if you do your research and get a used one.

I really like my '09 Z4 35i. It may not be the ultimate handling roadster (like the M Coupe, etc) but it's great fun to drive and has the wonderful engine and DCT. The 3.0 TT really gets the job done in any gear, at any RPM.

I just did a 490 mile round trip to Charleston WV. 5-10 over the whole way in the mountains and got 30.1 mpg. I got caught behind an 18 wheeler in the left lane on a steep hill. The Z4 pulled from 40mph in 6th (1500 RPM) to 80 mph still going uphill in like 5-6 seconds.

Richard, thanks for the pictures.
The Z4 truly is an amazing machine. I would get one in a heartbeat.
Unfortunately, I'm getting ready to get an X5 for my growing family - but I do plan to get the new Z4 after the X5.
As for the moment, I just need some cheap excitement.

I think an S2000 would be a cheap and exciting car for the time being.
