I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

I'd go w/ the IS if it was going to be your only car. It's more practicle for your sole car... 4 doors, still quick enough, I'm sure it handles nicely... and you can put stuff in the trunk

Power- S2000
Torque- IS300 (correct me if I'm wrong)
Handling- S2000
Comfort- IS300
Storage Capacity- IS300
Insurance- IS300
Appearance- (subjective) IS300
Tune-ability- tie
Rareness factor- S2000( I see so many more IS's than S2000's)

All depends on what your focus is

yeah, S2K all the way, but they don't have any torque stock, but i'm sure you can change that, they are better looking though
