The S2000 offers the visceral high revving Naturally Aspirated scalpel like handling, without the massive price point that a porsche 911 would have. And sure its 100hp down and not a true Mid engine car (engine technically sits behind the front axle so some people like to claim its min-engine), however you'd be hard pressed to find another car like that for the money nowadays.

The M2 C on the other hand (as i'm sure you'll find out) will give me the practicality and the speed that i sometimes crave. Sure revving to 8.2k is a dream in of itself, but also putting your foot down, hearing that tire squeal before shooting off 0-60 in just over 4 seconds is a great feeling as well.

Wheni drive each car back to back, i honestly cant say which car i prefer. They both offer something completely different than the other in a way each car cant really contest with. Personally i think its the best combination.
I like your thinking. I have a M2C and a STR prepared ND Miata ( which has finally knocked the S2000 off its long standing at the top).

I have my ND for Solo 2 work and top down fun, and my M2C for track work and as a daily...
