Which one would you get if you were gonna buy one? From the reviews I have seen it sounds like the 2004 will be more "Americanized" and tame, with a lower redline and softer suspension. Makes it a tough choice.

lower redline, but 20 mor ft/lbs of torque = better off the line.

They should have branched the S2K. Make one an even more agressive coupe and an softer convertable.

more choices for the customer = more money spent to create those choices.

not when they dont sell as many of these units
also s2k's are made in japan and a lot of it is made with precision

i would wait until the 2004 comes out brian, cuz until then its all speculation....same hp, more torque, different exterior bumepr and rims......
the pre 2003 s2k's will be a classic/rare car though in the future im guessing much like the ITR (although not as prestigious) but then i dont know

also i heard that redline is same just max hp and torque occur earlier, and how do you make a car more americanized?
