It appears not many care for the S2000 as a street car. Aside from warranty and rice issues wouldn't a turbo kit would make the Honda an awesome ride for the street, or should I seek help for my roadster fetish?

For the S2000 Ultimate Racing currently offers:
Custom Spec Garrett T3/T04E Turbocharger
Custom Heavy Gauge Tubular Steel Turbo Manifold
HKS Super Sequential Blow-Off Valve
TiAL 38mm External Wastegate
Greddy E-Manage Electronic Fuel/Ignition Piggy-Back Computer (Map Included)
Oil Filter/Cooler Relocation Kit
2.5" Stainless Steel Downpipe
Large Bar and Plate Front-Mount Intercooler with Polished Endtanks
2.5" Stainless Steel Intercooler Piping
600cc High Impedance Fuel Injectors
3" Polished Stainless Steel Intake Pipe with K&N Filter
Stainless Steel Wastegate Dump Pipe
All Hoses, Clamps, Lines, and Fittings Required for Installation

Don't know if you could do it for $30K but you should consider looking for a stock secondhand M3 in good condition of course. BMW parts would cost more than the jap cars; perhaps someone could help clarify specifically about how much more it would cost to maintain a BMW. However, not only would you have a sweet ass car in stock form but also a car with status.

Denpends on what you want. S2K is definitely more of a track car than a daily driver. The lack of torque really kills that thing. But then again, on the track, that car is blistering fast.

Same could be said of the STi (blistering fast), although the STi is more practical. Only down point about the STi is that it still has that "Boy-Ricer" image to it.

The GTO is a very nice car. I don't know much about it though, but thumbs up on looks and thumbs up on engine and sound. Saw one on the freeway the other day, man that thing sounds nice. I don't know, around here, I've only seen a few of them. I guess they aren't selling that well in the Bay Area, CA.
