Looking for a new car

[giannetto]

Ok well to start off things.. at the moment i have a 2001 BMW z3 (2 seater roadster)

It has straight 6 2.2l inline engine..

Im basically getting sick off all the issues these cars have..

I want a new car.. But i want another convertible.. after having it for 2 years im in love with them!

My options at the moment are:

Earlier model Porsche boxster
Earlier model Honda S2000
Bmw e46 330ci convertible


Honestly at the moment im in love with the s2000s

I mean cmon.. vtec! lol

But the thing i have heard about these cars is that most of the torque is in the higher rev range..

Like unless your going to get past 5.5k revs they are pretty powerless.. In saying that, i dont drive like a grandma.

In terms of modifying.. to get a decent power upgrade and hear the vtec, what are you looking at buying (cams, cai, exhaust)?


any information would be good..

thanks heaps guys!

It comes stock with 176 KW N/A fro a 2L motor so unless you go forced induction, cams/exhuast/cai would only yeild minimal power per dollar. It cost $0 to hear vtec induction just take the air filter lid off.

S2000 will feel/be faster than the z3 anyway.

you can do all those above mods but the only down side to the s2000's are the drivetrain n u cant jus rev rev n dump it off the line u do that then there goes ur rear diff imo jus get intake for it its quick enuf as it is intake will make it louder wen u hit vtec and also better air flow

I'd go with either the 330ci or the S2000. If you want instantaneous torque, you can't beat the 330ci.

The more i think about it, the more i want an s2000 lol

I saw a nice yellow one driving to work this morning.lol

s2000 is soooo worth it get one.. such a drivers car

Test drive one! Rev it out to 9000rpm once the engine is warmed up.

x2 for that, my friends diff blew twice in his s2k my advice if it duz blow once, dont opt for a reconditiond one for the second one!

out of all the cars u pickd i rekon the s2k will be more fun to drive but i like the look of that bmw it looks a lil more comfy nice black with black drop top will be hott!
