who cares! it can weigh 5.7 tons but it's 2-liter and makes 120hp/liter!!!!!!!!!!!1

so in theory, if they make a bigger one... like a 7.0 in the ZO6, it'd make 840hp!
 
depends what you want. the S2000 will handle better and is a tighter car. The Z has more power and torque. So if you like being pinned to your seat you are better off w/ the Z. If you want to autocross and take turns fast the S2000 is better for that.

If you're talking about the s2000, total engine weighs 326 pounds. Total car weight is little over 2800 pounds. As for the corvette engine I've no idea but I love the C6 Corvette. I'll buy one after the introduction of C7.

Z engine is nothing special. I rather have the s2000 engine anyday. Just add supercharger or turbo if you want more hp and torque.
 
S2k - High revving engine- no low end torque - a better looking convertible (it was built as a convertible). Very good at corners.

Z - V6 - low end torque - doesn't look good as a convertible IMO - not as light and nimble as S2k - fast off from deadstop tho

So it depend on your driving style.
 
Probably 350Z.

Unless you drive very hard, the 350Z will be faster than the S2000 majority of the times.
Don't get me wrong, the engine in the S2000 can get the car moving just fine, but to go fast, you really have to mash the pedal and keep the revs up.
On a related note, I didn't like the sound of the S2000 on WOT.

Aesthetically speaking, the 350Z looks more exotic and turns more heads.
Even though there's tons of them rolling around here, I still can't help but stare when I see one on the road.
 
NO question. Better car out the box. Mod to mod, the S/C and some suspension goodies on the s2k is way better than the turbos on the 350z


Pure roadster
