S2000- Best choice for racing, windy roads, single guys.

350z/g35- The g35 has a backseat, torque, better for car trips and city driving. I would pick the g35, but I'm biased since it's basically a redesign of my 72 z.

ps. You guys are way too obsessed with redline #s.

I like em both.
If you want more fun in the turns-S2K.
If you want power and torque-350Z

S2000-motor trend rates the S2K higher than the 350z...plus, its a honda.
but if you decide to go with nissan, get the g35 coupe.

by the way, the s2k is not the choice for a daily driver. the 350z/g35 will be a much more comfortable ride.

You probably cant find it because you are spelling it wrong.

Infiniti is correct.

why not get a lotus elise? more power/weight ratio (something u guys never think about and mybe should) and its almost in the same price range with better accel than the ferrary enzo ... to explain the hp/lb thing if ya have a 4000lb car and a 2000lb car
but the 4000 has 400hp and the 2000 has 200 (do the math) they have the exact same acell and power even if they dount have the same hp... now the one with the biggest number is the one u should get... (remember big *** humbies have v8 500hpo engines still they cant go much faster than 80mph )

well you would have to get a brand new elise though... and a new elise is $40,000 where you get get a used S2000 for almost half as much

i got my used s2000 for 20,000 @ 35k miles! i dont think u can do that with a 350z yet. i still saved about 5-8 grand which can go into a supercharger. but everyone has their own taste of style.

how much is 20000 in canadian money? hmm, but i saw the s2000s with the hardtop cover an it looked sweeettt, but i jus love how much power the 350z can make with a twinturbo setup, but i also love the 9000k or 8000k(depends on which year i get) redline, but i also love the torque the 350z makes, but i also love the looks of the s2000 and plus since the s2000 was made earlier i can get a cheap used one, but, ah i think ill stay with the civic for now an save up
