I'd go with the Lightning just because it's a good ole fashioned V8, which you don't already have in your arsenal.

You already have a track Honda. You already have a daily driver Japanese car (your GS-R), so you might as well go with something that's unlike anything else you have.

F-150 Lightning, woot.

Just my 0.02

I want a daily driver so I can keep my sol for weekend use, but I want a daily driver with balls. I'd pick up an RSX-S but I want a 4 door car. Im trying to save up a few grand for a down payment on an STi, but that'll be around September (hopefully) that I could do something like that.

If the car you're picking is going to be your daily driver and you have no other vehicle then, to me, the 350Z seems the best compromise of performance and liveability.

Both the S2000 and the Lightning are a little raw in comparison.

I hate to be an apostate, but that's the truth.

Hrmmmmm, here's another question.

Between the 350z Track and the S2000, which would look better to pull up in at a Playboy party I'm going to, in June?

Stock probably the Z, but that kind of depends on the color. You really ain't gonna look impressive no matter what in some $30k riceburner.
