    There is no BASELEVEL S2k as you say, The car doesnt really have options, Hardtop is pretty much one of the ONLY options (Unless you add lip spoiler and rear wing) but the car pretty much comes with everything for the 34k price, No gimicky add ons like the BMW

    I didn't introduce the notion of a base model S2k into this conversation(it was Mr Kidd that did) but for the sake of argument here you go:

    I've personally seen more women driving the s2k than the Z4.

    You had a Civic before didn't you? How many girls drive that?
    So is the Civic then to be considered a bytch car?

    Thank you for clarifying that. At least one thing we agree on...

    For a fair performance comparison, the $8K more expensive version of the Z4 was used since it was the one most competitive with the S2K in terms of 1/4 mile times and such. Had the comparison involved only price, then the Z4 Base could have be used. However, at that point the S2K pretty much walks away from the Z4 Base in terms of performance. The midlevel Z4 had to be used to compare the performance aspect. When weighing both price and performance (bang for buck) between the two models, you will wind up paying a lot more for a Z4 as to a comparible S2K.

    Depending on the price you're willing to pay.

    Hope that helps to clear some of the fog.

    That said, the record shows that the Z4 makes bigger numbers on the test track than any of the others, if only by a shade. The 5.3-second 0-to-60 squeaked ahead of the Honda by 0.1 second and out front of the Nissan by twice that. The quarter-mile blurs past in 14 seconds flat, again 0.1 second ahead of the Honda, and this time, 0.3 up on the 350Z. All three clock an identical 99 mph in the distance. The BMW leads in top speed at 152 mph, with the Nissan and Porsche close behind at 148. The governed Audi hangs back at 125 mph.

    Same story on the skidpad, where the BMW and the Honda tie at 0.92 g, a mere 0.01 behind the Porsche and 0.04 ahead of the Nissan.

    (This is an excerpt of an article by Car and Driver in 03 comparing the Z4, 350z, Audi TT, Porsche Boxster, and Honda S2000)

    I was being a smartass and taking his argument points literally just to fuk with him..

    and.....of course the Bimmer is more costly....It's BMW! Yes, you're paying for the name.
    Yes, you're paying for extra shyt, and some people would rather have all the extras.....I personally enjoyed and felt it was worth paying extra for heated seats, satellite radio, sport springs, and all the other things my car came with.....Some ppl might just need the bare minimum.....It's all up to checkbook and preferences....

    Very true. Probably why I went with my Mazdaspeed MX-5 Miata when I did. Turbocharged, 6-speed, LSD, 6-Disk CD Changer, easy to work on, and under $20K brand new.

    Yeah but that doesnt make the regular S2k a BASE model, The CR edition is a different model edition.

    well edmunds used the term BASE MODEL S2000 and TRACK CR EDITION so i just used BASE MODEL to avoid any confusion

    I would tend to agree with you though because the CR edition is more money and has no AC no radio, etc.

    AN its limited production so almost no one is buying it IMO.

    In all reality 98% of S2000 sales will be the "BASE MODEL" which might as well be the only model
