considering all things thats still pretty impressive, but personally I'm not willing to get rid of AC and Heat. Especially living in CA and sometimes going to Vegas and Mesa, AZ in the summer.

Not only will I save on gas and drive a more reliable car, but the Z28 won't be my DD anymore, so I'll be able to mod it quite a bit more
any car that doesnt push lots of power, will last long.

iron duke engines of the 80s last longer than most jap cars. so do Gm 3800 v6 engines and 350s is kept in a mild manner.

only cars that were faster = later 1980s BMW 325 ( with a E46 m3 engine) and gutted interior and rollcage. a rave ready Mini cooper S and Audi TT.

Im sure the s2000 isnt a superior handling car and is borning as hell to drive in the straights. so why would you consider that. and Im sure since its a 2 seater, insurance is more, it doesnt look all that mean and has a sissy 2.0 liter that revs to 10 grand to make power. which is boring as hell torque wise.

Now if you said Id rather have a BMW m3 over a Camaro SS I would understand. They arent faster, but are very nice looking and nice interior and luxurious cars. But I still prefer power over looks and comfort. SO that aint for me.

btw Are you Armenian?

I'm with LSgunZ28 on that. the s2000 is a pretty good cornering car stock but the fbody with minor suspension mods will kill in the corners and already has the power to back it.
