I picked the S2000 over the 350Z

[n666]

i got a three-fitty.. and i have to agree with whoever said that s2k gets the miata or del-sol attention..
it's weird.. i know they are better cars then the latter two but still.. it's too.... girly i guess...
anyway.. 350 all the way..

I can install a 20,000 rpm model airplane engine into my car. It will won't make it go fast, just like my daily driver Mazda with its 1.8L engine won't go fast. But at least it's quiet, unlike the ricers with their UltraMysticalNinja 9000 BumbleBee Type R exhausts.

The mr12t on my Kyosho VoneRR hits about 46,000 rpm. It would so blow away your BumbleBee Type R.

lol :thumbsup:

For me 350Z wasn't even a consideration. Totally different cars. I wanted a weekend roadster. So it was between S2000 and Boxster. I went with the S2000 because I wanted to try something different. Plus maintenance is lot cheaper.

The 350z weighs too much to be fun.

Buy a mustang GT or M3, or used Vette

The Mustang GT weighs more than the 350Z. So does the M3, by a fraction.

S2000, FTW!

then i put a blower on it, w00t!!

 

[Markbnj]

I would have waited for the '07 G35. That'll be my choice when my '03 G35 comes off lease next July.

The 350z is a pretty good-looking coupe. I don't know what the hell they were thinking with those door handles, though.

 

[Tbirdkid]

neither, only because i couldnt fit my big toe in either of them. go buy something fast... and i mean fast, like a goat, or a mustang gt. just make sure you get a manual 5 or 6 speed and have some fun man.

 

[ForumMaster]

both are fine. i like the look of the 350z a little more but the S2000 is also a very nice car.

 

[phreakah]

i chose the z


s2k's are nice though!

I heard that car isn't worth a ****** and the power is pretty much useless unless you are reving the crap out of it.

and.... what is wrong with revving a sporty car? The CHARACTERISTICS make up a car and a person may be attracted to a car for just that. It's really stupid to buy a car beacuse the numbers aren't as good as another, what if you simply like the s2000 for what it is?

 

[secretanchitman]

Z4 M Roadster/Coupe...or an M3 convertible FTW.

but i'd go for the S2000, as the 350Z is too common and has a "fat butt" IMO.

You are supposed to. You don't drive a Ferrari or a Honda like a pushrod V8. You make it sing. 6k launch and keep it above 6k FTW.

You will never get F1 and atmo only engines. Sorry. Oh, at that atmo engine is 1.2hp/l.

Probably the Z since the torqueless cars aren't very fun to drive if you have redline phobia.

fixed.

Besides, life is better in the corners.

Apparently a lot of people in this forum want a sports car that drives like a diesel

hp/l arguement doesn't ring true for much at all.

 

[McGyver]

ford mustang.

 

[Toastedlightly]

that, or the car I bought for 200 bucks that I could give over 300 ponies to w/ ~1000 dollars.... hmm...

I got a CLK430... wanted a nice sporty coupe with a backseat

 

[Eli]

S2000

 

[Blazin Trav]

I'd imagine the s2k would be more reliable. So I would have probably done the same, I'm not sure. I'd need more time to look it over and research it.

 

[bigfil]

i sat in an s2000 and it felt pretty cramped to me
the top was up and my head was hitting the roof

rode around in a 350z convertible and my head wasnt even close to touching the roof

so for me its a no brainer
350z

 

[skyking]

I Have not tried on the 350Z.

I did sit in an S2000 once.
'sits down, nice seat'
'attempt to close door'
'door hits shoulder HARD'
'sit there for a few seconds leaning towards the console'
'opens door, gets out, and looks back wistfully at a car I admire, but will never drive'
