06 s2k vs 09 370z
So I got the green light from the wife to get a sports car. . i was really honed in on a nice low miles and great condition 06 s2k but then started doing research on the new 09 nissan 370z . . .
prices on the z's new are coming down a bit as the dealers are trying to get them out the door. . the best price i found was 28,300 which includes the destination. .its the base 6 spd manual transmission model. .no sport or touring package.
the s2k i've located is 20,500 . . . and less than 10k miles
the 370z is wicked fast with torque on demand, more comfort, more features and better storage space in the back.
the s2000 is . . well ya'll know what it is but i'll just say the ragtop on it really is attractive to me. . plus its a honda. . .
so all this said, and knowing what a biased group you all are. . what would you do ? it's keeping me awake

That is a tough choice, the 370 is a very sexy car, I just love the way it looks from behind 
and it is deffinately faster than the S2k. But I am just in love with the pure raw feeling of the S2k. I have driven a ton of cars and found nothing that matches the feeling, plus I love the open feeling of top down fun.
So for the difference in price, I would buy the S2k and supercharge it
I really like the Z, but I honestly think that in a few years they will be everywhere like the 350Z, I just see to many of them around here.

but if he finances it he prolly wont have that extra cash to supercharge it because he would pay the 28k with a loan. unless he has 8k in cash laying around then yea why not.

i have never had a 370z but i did have a 350z so i can make some comparison. i had a touring 350z, and i rode in a base, and i can tell you that you will regret not getting the touring or grand touring. its worth the extra money. btu i dont know hwo the 370z compare. so i would go with the S, becaue i love mine compared to the 350z.

Otherwise... S all the way! Never liked the new generations of Z.

S2000. The 370Z is newer but I don't think Nissan vehicles are as reliable as Hondas...plus you always have the vert factor with the S. Plus it's cheaper
...And better on gas
