I'm bored in class, just wanted to see what everyone's opinion was.

2008 350z (let's just say it's a touring model) or 2008 s2000?

[Laxntiga]

I vote for the god of all roadsters - the S2000

[phantompc4]

are u talking about the future models because didnt they stop making s2ks?

anyways future or not s2k over z always because so far the trend from nissan for their z line is add more weight and just more power to make up for it.

[boost]

I don't visit the track often and I'm more of a high up guy. 350z because I don't like the weak rear end of the s2k

[knitoe]

i voted for 350z, but i am a little biased. s2k is a great car for the track, but for daily i chose 350z with its bigger cabin space and higher torque. i dont have many chances to drive high rpms everyday and it's just way too hot for me in tx to drive with the top down. i do swap cars with my friend's ap2 every so often and it is quite fun driving a light high revving rwd car like the s2k! i would like both please!

Just saw a 350z today and I turned my head....so yeah the z gets my vote.

[kuku]

The 350z is a tiring car to drive in my opinion. I like the short throws, but I think you get a good work out in doing so.

The s2000 has a very short and smooth shift. AND it has a bigger trunk space!

s2000 > 350z in every way

*scratches chin*

Not too sure on that one..

[azn akira]

i am. it handles better, its lighter, its more fun to drive, it has much better build quality. win on all fronts

It's also easier to oversteer, while a Z is much more stable. Not all of us have gobs of track experience, and the rear can whip out when you least expect it, even if it doesn't have as much torque. The Z is also quicker in a straight line.

If the S2000 was made into a coupe (not just hard top), would it still be as fun to drive?

The S2000 does have that certain feel though, that everything is situated right where it needs to be. However, the steering column isn't adjustable, and I know of a few people that this is a problem for.

For me though, I've always been a fan of slightly bigger cars, and the Z feels just right in terms of size for me. I've always had a athing for the Z's jellybean shape too The stook is a bit too small for my taste as well, where the Z has just enough space for me to feel comfortable.Oh, and the seats are more comfy too

From what I've noticed, the Z also has more of the head-turning effect that was talked about. Not to mention the ability to fit much wider, more noticeable, wheels/tires than an s2000.

It all depends on what you're looking for in a car. Quick in a straight line, comfort, space, looks, and still can handle with ease? 350z.

Slower in a straight (although it "feels" faster than the Z), great handling, more raw experience, but sacrificing in comfort and space? S2000.

^ Jelly bean shape? Hmmm...never thought if it like that lol.

Comfort/space/looks are my #1s, those are a must.
If an everyday driver is "fast" but uncomfortable, that kinda makes me feel poopy.
That wouldn't be the car for me.

Zzzzzzzzzzz for me.

[Laxntiga]

My best friend drives the G35, if the 350z is anything like it, it's a great car. Gobs of torque, instant power, get up and just go!

But...... for me, I'll take the more exotic S2000. The experience of owning convertible...... I will never go back. I will always have a convertible.

[darling]

S2000 hands down.

so that makes it more fun . besides its cornering limits are higher anyways. though if you set up an s2000 right and get a rear bump steer kit its not that bad, its pretty stable

If the S2000 was made into a coupe (not just hard top), would it still be as fun to drive?

it would be more fun. it would weigh less than it does now and have an even stiffer chassis.

Not to mention the ability to fit much wider, more noticeable, wheels/tires than an s2000.

the s2000 can go wide enough....its possible to fit 255/40/17 on an s2000 if you roll the fenders and get the right wheels. you wouldnt want to go any wider than that anyways on an s2000 (unless you have gobs of power), you are just adding unsprung rotating mass not to mention the extra drag caused by the increased contact patch.

what it comes down to is 350z is a sports car for posers, the s2000 is a sports car for drivers. therefore s2000 > 350z

im not saying that the 350z is a bad car. i like it, i think its fun to drive. the s2000 just does everything better

[vikkay]

350Z > s2k anyday


----------------

[jphase]

i voted for the z just cuz i like the styling of it and the sound of that VQ engine so much haha.. never drove it or rode in one but i just really like the looks of it.

[michellek]

Definitely i would pick 350z. I've been liking that car for a long time now. Its a bit biased though, cuz I dont have much background on the S2k.

[some-azn-guy]

imo, s2000>350z

so i'd for sure take the s2000 over the z. haven't driven a z33 yet but i got a ride in one..although i have had the chance to drive an ap1 s2000...that car is... WOW. it totally screams 'japanese sports car' in every way. an absolute thrill to drive. it's the type of car that brings a smile to my face when i'm driving it; which is a lot, because not many cars have been able to do that for me.

[papasmurf]

how about an ariel atom? =] it's got VTEC POWER~!!!
