Default The Daily and the Weekend

Was bored today and rarely can get a chance to have both cars next to each other so did a quick shoot (2nd driver was impatient so I got pressured and my creativity failed..)

But here's what I got, enjoy. (sadly the S gets better gas than the IS...)



















Hopefully I'll be able to do another shoot once the IS is "nicer" and with a patient 2nd driver

Unless there is something wrong with the 2000, it'll be faster than the 250 all day.

the IS350 feels faster than the S2000 in a straight line, obviously the S2000 is faster in the corners. Haven't had a chance to take the Lexus on a track yet unfortunately.

Oops, thought you had a 250 there. Then the 350 will be faster no doubt.

sleepy415: thanks! I actually saw your sig somewhere else and was jealous =P. I have Swift springs on my S2000 and love it, which is why I bought Swift for the IS350 also. Loving it as well, more comfortable than X Package springs in minor bumps but firmer when compressed more (I know its not low enough for some people but o well)

97-01 NSX is my next goal.... eventually.....but I wouldnt want to get rid of the S2000(<---crossed my mind a few times but thought I would regret it) or the IS350 haha!....so +1...

Thanks! I wasn't in the market for a NSX at the time & just came upon one that was SUCH a steal that I couldn't pass it up, but it was the least desirable color. I eventually sold it because it I got the itch for another s2000 (4th one ). I would say it depends on what you're looking for, if you like the touge kind of roads you will enjoy the s2000 more, which was what I was missing, that along with the tossability that was missing from the NSX. Handling wise, NSX is much more stable & I took it to speeds that the s2000 would probably have the back end coming loose already, but during tight hairpin roads, the s2000 is more enjoyable IMO, although the NSX was a great car & the attention you get from that car is just crazy, the NSX shines on a high speed track & in the attention department and the s2000 in the overall fun department, hoped that helped!
