At first glance I sometimes think R35 GTR. My next thought is nvrmind, it's just a tarted up 370z. Not a bad looking car, and I'm sure it's fairly fast, but it's a little too busy looking for my taste.

On the surface, it's just a "newer" 350z. Underneath, quite a few changes were made.

Quite simply, it's a great value for performance, and a S2k has no chance against one, whether its in a straight line or around a corner.
True...until it overheats the engine, transmission or brakes and thus kills you.

The car is worse than the sum of its parts, unfortunately. For street driving, though, it's a fantastic sports car with a nice balance of power, moderate weight, handling and braking. Definitely a great daily driver sports car.

At least we made it 3 posts before it started. That could be a record

I love the 370z... if I ever get one though, the first few things I do are:
1. oil cooler (mandatory)
2. Uprev
3. Fix the "Ice mode" when braking

I take offense to that!

BTW there's a reason the 370 is in C stock and the S2000 is in B stock. On a road course 370 might be faster but it doesn't handle better than the S2000.

Maybe in a road course setting. While I respect your experience in that environment, I can attest to the fact an S2000 can and does challenge the 370's in the auto-x world. I auto-x every event in our region (usually pretty tight courses) and there is a guy with a 370Z on R-comps. We regularly run the same times (usually I edge him out) and I am on a basic STR setup with 255's. It is not just driver related becuase if anything, he is faster than me lol. He has competed at nationals in other cars, and I would get destroyed there. However, we both pax top 10 pretty regularly here out of 75+ cars.
