Guys... Think better than the S2000 or Rsx. I was once Honda brainwashed. With your budget, go test drive an Audi, BMW, Nissan, or Lexus and then tell me if you want to jump in a Rsx or S2000.
Audi B4 2.7L Twin Turbo V6 can be had in your range
BMW 3 series - plenty of 3 series out there in RWD with power and luxury
Nissan 350Z/Maxima - sporty with plenty of mods 3.5L V6 with TORQUE
Lexus IS- nice combination of sport and luxury
Torque is a wonderful thing that the Honda lineup doesn't offer. I know this is the wrong site to preach it and I will forever have a place for a Honda in my heart but in that price range I would set my sites higher. Just my 2 cents.
I chirp the tires shifting into 3rd gear without even trying. Love me some torque.
