Dumped the S2000 for this

So far I am loving the nice quiet drive

That's why you drive the S2000 on weekends and your quiet car on commutes.

I will admit that the S2000 is shockingly loud the first time you drive it. It's pretty rare to be able to clearly distinguish transmission and differential noise, but you easily can with the top up in the S2000.

I have had 7 manual cars, this will be my first Auto

I bet you'll be going for that phantom clutch for a while, too.

:thumbsup: Nice car.

I'll never have a Lexus, though. Won't pay extra for a badge.

Damn. That is a nice looking car. I want one!

Congrats on the purchase.

I have to agree...

I would love to keep it but I am cutting back on expenses

You don't really need to eat.

alright, i gotta question this... i'm sorry...
first off, the Lexus looks to be in amazing condition and no question that it's a great car + should last forever.

but you just went from an I4 (~240hp) to a much heavier V8 (~250hp)...

Wider power band with more cylinders. The S2000 has to rev to 9k to make that 200+ horsepower, the V8 probably has neck snapping torque from even down low.

All depends on what tickles your fancy.

I totally love the SC and the fact that it's a RWD is even better.
I find the fact that an old SC300 can be had with I6 engine (I love I6 engines a rarity these days) + RWD and Manual transmission for cheaps is awesome.
