Honda S2000 or Acura RSX-S w A-Spec Pack
if we were to look at a 2000-2004 model of these cars which one would you guys choose, and both of em are manual too. Both are also black with black interior.

Is it @ all possible for u to step up to an '06 Civic SI, its better than both of those cars IMO. Not sure if u forgot about the good ole SI or if it is out of ur budget I understand. After the SI I take the RSX-S w A-Spec Pack.

My dad really likes the RSX but i got him to take a peep at the S2000.

Persoanlly, if you don't need a back seat I'd take the S2000 anyday. I'm not saying one is better or faster or any of that stuff. The S2000 although is a front mounted engine arguably is considered a mid engine car because be definition the majority of the engine is mounted between the axles. It definately drives and behaves more like a traditional rear mid engine RWD car than a front mounted RWD car. Also, it is RWD as I just mentioned. The S2000 too me is the closest thing to the drive of an NSX. Personally, I haven't had the chance to really drive and S2000, but from some of my friends that own both NSX and S2000 the drivability of the S2000 can be better at times than the NSX.

well we were looking at high end bmws and mercedes and lexus as cars mainly the is350 and gs430 for my mom, but then my brother will drive in 2 years or so my brother will start driving so he would get my parents cars so my dad decided to go a used route, hes not "the average driver", hes pretty experienced and the last sports car he got before switchin to family SUV was a Nissan 240SX TT.

I agree with Koma. I assume that when you mention about "lil brother" that means he's still a teen waiting for his driver licence. The S2000 can become a "cult" car, something that you can keep in the garage and can become a classic one day. It's a pity to let a rookie practice driving on it and somehow get it abused and scratched. In this case, the RSX may be a better choice, although I think neither car is really suitable for new drivers.
How about a brand-new GTI instead? It's practical, safe, and fun to drive, and you won't feel too much a pain if something happened to the car compare to the S2000

if I were looking for a S2k, I'd get 2004 or later model. (1). better engine: 2.2L instead of 2.0L. (2). revised transmission: carbon synchronizers instead of brass synchronizers
for the price of a S2k, I'd get a TSX a-spec 6 speed.
