I think it’s the lack of playfulness ( read able to slide ) at low speeds . The chassis balance and traction  is very good with the ohlins / arbs/ttrs arms/wavetrack ect but that doesn’t translate to fun , at least not with me . I think I’m looking for a rear wheel drive n/a car .....

As a former Caterham owner, I can quite understand this and think you will need a lightweight rwd car with decent low down torque to get this level of adjustability. If you aim to keep your s2k, maybe think about a supercharger conversion? All these £30k cars will continue to depreciate whilst you mull things over. 

Bodyboarder81:
.... yes it is another factor I have to consider . With the s2000 and Pirelli to a degree , they are holding their money , the s2k’s actually gone up quite a bit ! Would be nice to have something that’s not going to loose 3k a year .

I’ve looked into charging the S2k ... and the one I have has only 28k on and is in mint condition, can’t bring myself to do it . It’s just such a good engine standard I don’t want to mess with it ....’also it’s the best part of 10k to do it right !

Ford Mustang GT.

Prices are starting to fall to under 30k now, Im thinking about one as my next car

What geo settings are you using on the GTi? Quite a lot of camber from what I recall however do you have any toe out, especially at rear? Whilst you will never get power oversteer, the car can be made more agile with some toe out / stiffer rear arb or damping / stickier tyres on front v rear. Small nudges but useful all the same.
