man hally, that is very cheap. i wonder why he's selling it.

i'm not really looking to get into another 951 - if i decide to stay with the 951s, i'll keep mine. devil you know and all .

to be honest, right now if i get another car i'm prolly going to go the brand new and warranty route - s4 is waaaaaaay out of my price range brand new lol .

here is one for you guys, my mate owns a evo 6 TME, he broke the rear diff once under warrenty, no problems, now he has broken it 3 times since. Mitsubishi doesnt bring these cars into australia, ralliart does, so each new diff has cost him over 11 thousand each. he has also broken the gearbox twice and now has a dog box. i drive my car 2x harder then he does and his breaks. and im faster around the tracks then him. i prefer the 951 more.

fair enough i was just looking at the early 2000 S4's they were cheaper than a new evo. For a street car, hmmm what about an Honda S2000 or a Mazda Mx5 they would be nice street cars. Plenty enough performance for the street.

have you driven a s2000 hally? the first one i drove was the biggest disapointment, everyone hyped them up and they do nothing. it was like, rev the ***** off it and it does nothing up to the last 1000 rpm then you have to change gears. and the lack of torque just killed the car. but your probably right, ok for a street car

I work for space coast honda here in cocoa fl and I get to drive the s2000 nearly everday....POS in my opinion, makes a lot of noise and thats it really. My main complaint with them is no room. I'm 6'2 and weigh 230 and it's a major sqeeze to get in and out, I see some guys who are a lot bigger than me driving around in them....dont know how the hell they manage it. Would much rather have an s2 cab or 968 cab over the honda any day of the week.
