350Z but I would replace the suspension. Lots of complaints about wearing out the tires.

S2000
Pros: Nice shifter, hi-tech engine, good looks (even 10 years from now), rumor is Honda won't be doing a redseign so you will have a pretty rare car.

Cons: Can't get any more power without forced induction, kind of expensive, no torque compared to 350Z, but 2.2 liters (04) is a pretty big engine for a 4 cylinder.

350Z
Pros: Torque and power, hardtop (like them more compared to convert), easier to drive because of the bigger engine, value for $.

Cons: Heavy, can't say how styling will look 5 years down the road.

the suspension is fine.. the tire wear is bc of the -2 degree toe out which is fixed by putting it to -1 degree.. also the tire wear is only 120 so that does it to

350 would be better for getting arounf town....
The S2000 would probably be more fun to drive... and it's a plus if you like convertables.... but MSN just posted that it's 1 of the most expensive normal car to insure

i'd get a used S2000 for like 24k or something that'd be great. but new i'd get the 350z Enthusiast just because it's cheaaper and more worth the $.

350Z hands down. This car has the power when you need it. With the S2000, you have to wait for the power to come. IMO, the 350Z looks better even 5 years from now.

350z if you plan to do anything to it engine wise. S2k if you only want to do visual and suspension mods.

I like the 350z more because I really hate the look of very small cars like the S2000, MB SLK, Miata, etc. If you're feeling older and need some luxury, go for the G35. Nearly the same car with some prestige and better lines to me.

I can't help to think though, how dope a Lancer would be at this time of my life. One of the fastest cars on the streets and so easy to mod for my hobby. I'd probably get a black one for that stealthy sleeper look.

I prefer the performance of S2000 and it has a very aggresive looking nose.

I find the G35 has really nice lines and I find it looks better than the 350z

I personally haven't gotten a chance drive either car but i would get the s2000, i've read that they are very nimble and fun to drive, the 350z seems like a fat pig and i see like 10 a day, i rarely seen any s2000s.

well i have driven both of them at work. i personally love the s2000. it has a rev happy engine. but the z has the torque and can really pin u in the seat. the only con to the s2000 is the convertable top.

the insurance on both is through the roof it ur under 25.

only the 2000 model has the 9000 rpm. they have since lowered it. the 2004s have an 8000
