Test drive both and see what he likes the best.
The STI in my opinion looks too boy-racerish. You can't really ignore the power underneath the hood though. The flat four really makes a lot of power. If this guy is a track enthusiast, then go for the s2k. If this will be his year round car, and he gets stuck in snow, the STI will be better, because the car won't fishtail on turns.

you kinda say 300/300 as if it's a cool thing..... yet the S2000 runs about .6 seconds slower in the 1/4 mile with 240/153. not to mention it owns the STi in handling on the auto-x track. that's kinda sad then since the STi makes 300/300 don't you think?
my point is, numbers are useless. two different cars, two different purposes. the only way he can decide is if he figures out what he wants out of a car.
not arguing with you. just pointing out other sides of the coin.

Rep Power: 286 looks, i'd go s2000.. performance you can go either.. as far as the sound of them.. sti. i don't think you can have a meaner sounding 4 cylinder than the sti.. other than maybe that 700whp evo.

He went with the STI. He got a silver one with the silver rime. Very nice. The reason why he went with the STI is because the s2000 had no trunk, was only 2 seats, and he thinks it did not handle as well as the STI. Basically he said that the s2000 reminds him of a miata, its like a mid-life crisis car for 50 year olds. The only people we see driving s2000's around here are middle aged guys. Even the guy at the honda dealership told us that mostly older men purshase the s2000.

In terms of sound I love the s2000 sound. High revving formula one sound that scares people when you pass by.

wheres your proof an s2k can run easly at 600hp on stock internals. I find that hard to belive

Rep Power: 356 i would go with the sti just becaue i always have people coming with me and tend o carry around a lot of stuff, so it would just be more real to have as an everyday driver. but the s2000 isa great car, wouldn;t mind haveing one if i had another car with 4 seats somewhere too.
