Like Gan San(Best Motoring International) said that the new Z is not necessary he would call a sport car. It is made for people who enjoy driving sport cars with automatic......The new Z is a touring car maybe, but it is definitely not a true sport car.....

When Gan San said something about cars, I think we should listen.
i agree

In a word...

WRONG.

However, I have never driven one. But there is something just not right about it.


======

Regarding the 350Z's, there are a ton for sale in my area (Columbus, OH). Personally, I like the car. And this is a car I have driven. My brother owns one and has demonstrated on numerous occasions how cable the car is.

I chased a 350Z at Mid Ohio and had a real tough time keeping up. Granted, it was a nicely modified, caged example. They are impressive whether we like to admitt it or not as S2k owners.

Over here in cinci, I see more RX8s than 350z and S2000s combined. I have been starting to see more 350z lately though, but the new mustang is EVERYWHERE. I already see more mustangs than all 3 of those cars combined.

I only see 1-2 s2000 a week here.

The 350Z is probably a good car and with big sales will develop a good aftermarket. They sell a lot of automatics like Corvette. S2000 sales would have been bigger if they had offered one. That's why the Vetts and 350Z's have a lot of female drivers. The 350's had some major front tire wear/alignment issues. I assume they will have fixed that by now. They are also not as fast or certainly not faster than a stock S2000 and definitely do not handle as well in stock form. One of the things I really like about my S2k is that in stock form the suspension is about like many other cars after u they upgrade theirs.

350Z is certainly comparable to the S2k in performance.

What is it Steve. Do you just sit at the search page and every 10 minutes search for "NSX".

Maybe in a straight line, but just like a Mustang, once the road starts turning, the comparisons stop.
