Supra TT Aerotop would be quite good.

Half wayhouse convertible with trubo whistling away, bliss.

e46 m3. you will not regret it.

m3 is too big for me

my s2k is a 2001 model, if everything else is far beyond 10k is it worth getting a newer one?

mine has done 60k miles

No.

Unless you want the facelift changes, no point.

Not a chance. You'll need about 100bhp extra, a lot less weight, or a better torque curve with a bit more power to make a new car seem noticeably quicker. If you ignore the electric roof requirement and you can live with the need to treat it gently until it's warmed up (and only drive it when it will get warmed up) then a TVR Tamora could be an option. If you can live with lhd then look at a Corvette.

no way could i deal with LHD round the twisty country roads! that would be horrendous! Not keen on the TVR tbh, i really like the look of some of the modified s2ks

ok, i may well put some money into new wheels and a full wrap *(the paint isnt that good, nor is the colour what i want), new exhaust etc

i was looking at 10kish, so maybe i should just stickj with the s2?

^I do like the feisty s2000, quite like the rawness if that makes sense?
Maybe the one to look at (if any) is the z4m, perhaps go for a test drive.

Otherwise ill probably just spend some money on the S2

You could charge your S2000 and still have plenty of change out of 10k.

Zeed · 7 Jul 2013 at 09:02

Thats wha i suggested For 10k you can supercharge s2k no problem. And it will be a ****ing rocket

And nothing will come close to it then.

Especially your s2k is low mileage one

What sort of exige does 10k buy?

Noo, don't wrap an S2K, way too tacky

If the paint is a bit iffy, spend the cash on getting it corrected by a pro detailer.
