Would never get a Z.
The S2K will be my next car, though.
There's no reason to fix up a Civic if it ain't gonna be good at something. If the RSX has become a better road racer than some RWD cars, I don't see how the Civic can't earn the same title. It's the same damn car. Thus I'll take the sleeper.

Second, technically it's only illegal to put an older engine into a new car - not the other way around.
Third, if you're in Cali and want the K20A to pass smog, use the Type S ECU. With a swap, you're not going to pass visual anyway so it'd be like swapping a K20A2 when you get your car smogged.

Rep Power: 0 I would go with the 350Z just because it is so slick looking. It always makes me turn my head when someone is driving one. I have a civic and love it, but if someone were to throw a Z my way, I'd take it!

type s ecu? ... it's gonna run pretty lean ... it wouldn't pass anyway because the block is stamped k20a ... also, vin #'s are different from the diff. countries, so it would be pretty hard to fool a k20a for a2 ;P
That is not an ordinary rabbit tis the most foul cruel beast

350z best car and only true sports car in my mind in that whole group. it also has the most potential.
I would get a k20a civic before I would buy an s2000 and make payments on it
any cali smog that does visual test on you lol its a ****ing bad place!!
just my .02 cents
take which ever car you can put less payments on and save up for a damn house than explode later on buy yourself something really nice.
right now you can grab a 98-00 corvette c5 with low mileage around 20 thousand miles for around 34-36 grand because the c6 is out. They are out there lots old men never drive vettes and use them as weekend cars.
hmm corvette or these cars hmmmmm!!!!
not a tough choice

I work at a Chevy dealership and drive Corvettes all the time, and they are nice and fast and all, but I love my S2000 and I would take that or a 350 over a Vette at this point in my life. The C6's are a lot nicer, but way out of range right now.

but im not racer and i'd pimp an 350z anyday. see too many s2000's compared to the Z on the streets. rather be different.

actually, if its your car, pretty good chance d.o.t. can't say **** but don't try to sell it.
