370

spectacle

If I had to make a choice...

yeah. . i was thinking 370z roadster but there is no way I'm shelling out $35K or whatever for that. . but dang it's gorgeous. .. just that they aint gonna discount it at all and i won't go for it. . so I know what u r all talking about when you say the raw feeling of the s2000 . . . I like that feeling. . i'm selling two motorcycles and my 07 Accord to get the sports car. . . (that was the deal w/ the wife to get me off the bikes). . . hmmm. . .

I love my S2000 and all, but I would never give up my bike for a car, ever, let alone TWO of them AND a DD.

...rethink about that decision brother.

raw feeling would imply the s2000. it is a bare bones roadster that makes you focus on driving (modeled after earlier roadsters). my family and GF are completely against me getting a motorcycle, to me, the s2000 is the next best thing to open air motoring.

things against the 370Z are looks (either you like or you hate), reliability not as strong as honda, and weight (any car with sticky,wide tires can get good skidpad ratings, but skidpad is not everything handling wise)

but like many here would say, test drive... test drive... test drive.

yeah. . that is exactly why this is such a painful and bittersweet search for a car. . . neither the s2k nor the 370z are near half as fun as my sv650 . . i love that bike.. . my other is the CB-1 by Honda. . . 'lil in-line four, 400 cc sport bike. . .

that being out in the air and the acceleration and all are just so hard to give up. . .

but i got 4 kids n a wife. . .plus traffic in so cal is so crazy. . . sometimes i feel like my number is just around the corner. . .

I ride a bike and I always have a hard time deciding when I go out which I want to ride.
The S is probably as close to a bike as you can get with a car. It satisfies 90% of my bike desire, has a radio, heater AND I dont have to gear up to go anywhere.

I wouldnt have the same qualms, but I would also try to keep at least one bike just to mix it up.

Basic bolt ons on the 370 will net you nearly the same who as most s/ced s2ks. 10 year newer technolgy and platform is hard to beat. The 370 will probably be my next car after they work out the bugs

Tough call, but I would lean towards the 370z.

I love my S2000, and will not be selling it anytime soon. I have a hardtop now and have taken out around 200lb worth of stuff. I even drive around without a passenger seat to save weight lol. I love how it wakes me up in the morning, but there are those times that I wish I was driving something else.

My mother drives a 335xi and sometimes after a long day of work I would much rather be cruising home in that, than revving and droning home in the s2000. That's why when the warranty is over I'm buying it from her, and the S gets completely stripped

Let's not forget the power too. It's got almost twice the engine of my car, and it hits right away not after 6000. Plus an early AP1 is PIG RICH at my altitude, and soooooo slow under 6000. I need a newer ECU!
