Isn't the Enthusiast model good enough to compete with S2000?





Yeah, and another $100 to cut the top off.


Wait til the 350Z roadster comes out then compare again.

Originally i owned Miata FM2 but it got stolen

But now i have S2000 02 blk on blk.


It depend on what are u looking for.
They two different car.

The Z is really nice car(personal i love it) If i have a choice between the two.I would pick the S 240 2liter reline 9k and u can drop the top!!Personally i wouldn't buy the Z drop top 03.Because of it not build form the ground up convertiable.And u all know Convert. get alots of body flex!!!!!!!


On the other hand if u looking for sport coupe the Z is great car!
But i don't think u can get it that cheap(dealer mark up..them f!@#cker)

Just seat down and think what u really wanted(don't listen to your friend or anybody else).good luck to u!!

I think Nissan is gonna keep the 350Z roadster under $35K, in order to compete with S2K. Probably there will be no track model for the roadster. Probably performance model roadster for $35K and touring for $38K with leather, better sound systems etc......

Sure, the S2000 is a great competitor for the 350Z...

Except you all forgot one factor. The S2000 is TINY!

I would buy a S2000 if I fit comfortably in it. But no, not enough legroom or head clearance with the rollbars. F*ck Honda. Why don't they make cars that everyone can fit in? My money will probably go to a 350Z, which is really roomy

The whole company, huh? Just F*ck Honda.

Do you have trouble fitting into a Pilot? An Odyssey? How about a CRV? An Accord? A Civic? What about the Insight?

Give me a break. Enjoy your Z.

This thread title states 290 hp for the 350Z. I thought it was 287?
