I know nothing will satisfy either side but here's my 2cents:

I just bought a 2000 gsr and i love it, yes the thought of a lude crossed my mind, a close friend of mine has a heavily modified NA 92lude and he smokes almost everyone he races here in the 408, most people won't even race him. I've driven his car and yeah it handles great, not as light as my integ in my opinion, and is a blast to drive. A few reasons why i went with the integ though, is the 8200rpm redline, next to the s2000, nothing matchs the sound/feeling/pure delight of revving an integ.,

second, from my friend, as well as from others i talk to, when modified the lude's reliability goes down the drain

and as stated before, seating in the back is nice
