^ if you're looking for best of all worlds, then get a 350z roadster. with that car, you get a 2 seat roadster, torquey engine, sportscar reflexes, and appealing styling (at least to me)... if you don't want to spend the money for the roadster, then the 350z itself is not too shabby of an alternative. the s2000 is just not for everyone. for some the car may be extremely fun, while for others it is more of a nuisance than anything. ultimately, it really depends on what you desire from you car. i know you said you want something "fun", but "fun" is subjective, so your idea of fun behind the wheels of an automobile may be completely differenent from my idea of fun. nonetheless, the 350z is a good choice for the fact that it covers the most bases in terms of desirable attributes in a sporty car than all the other candidates you listed.

Again FRM please stop with your stupid times.

There is no way that a blown S2000 is going to keep up with a stock Z06 given equal drivers on the same day. None.

Thanks for the additional input guys...I'll take what you guys added into consideration. Btw, how much is it to mod the S2k? What kind of FI 1/4 mi. times do you guys get? I'm really starting to lean towards the s2k....

Thanks again!

No I would not; I've driven a blown S2000.

FRM is 12, has never driven a car and takes any published number at face value.

I keep hearing (reading) comments about twin turbos for the G35 Coupe. does anyone even make such a kit?
