s2000 pro's: Faster, newer, better handling... pretty much way better car from the start. Also don't just look at it from the the performance side, look at financials too. s2000 will hold it's value better then mx5 and re-selling will be so much easier. Also spending heaps of money on a mx5 will just result in an old mx5 with heaps of money put into it. Also s2000's are great stock and when u do finally get off your p's u cant get it turboed or supercharged and it will be even faster. I know because I have been crazy in the past and spent thousands on cars that are well pretty much expired and I could of just bought an entirely newer and overall better car. I say s2000, I would of bought one myself if I could fit in it...
