Default S2K tested against the 350Z in 2 magazines this month, plus a couple of questions

August is the month, boys and girls, both Road and Track, and Automobile magazines are testing the S against the 350Z ragtop.

If anyone picks up the Road and Track, take a look at the interior shot of the S. There are 2 curious little buttons in the center console that are not in my 2003. They are directly behind the cup holder.

Also, the top speed in the mags differ, one says 145, one says 163.............what gives?

The Z is a nice car, heavy as all heck though, I would assume the ragtop is even heavier than coupe.



Buttons? I dont think Honda touched that part of the car at all over the years, you've got me curious now-

The buttons are most likely for the hardtop defroster.

He said that he didnt have the buttons on his 03 so he'd have the defrosters, which makes me wonder what they are-

Nope, those are infront of the cup holder, these buttons are behind
