I just bought a used 02 S2000 about 4-5 weeks ago. Love it, no regrets.

If you plan on buying a bunch of parts or if you are buying a car to just go all out fast then I would not get either. I am finding out that many people who buy the "S" and put a bunch of money into I/H/E are getting minimal gains, if any, on the dyno as compared to stock. I talked to some 350 Z owners and they said they are seeing the same, I think the local club just had a dyno day.

If you do not care about being the fastest then buy the one that looks best to you, they both perform about the same. I would try to get a 02 S2000 for the rear glass window and some of the other "bugs" were worked out too. Check the top for holes, check the passenger side lower corner of the top (corner closest to the pass door/window) for the notorious wear hole. It wont leak but will tear more in the future if not addressed.

The exterior of the one your looking is probably silverstone
