The S2k's internals can obviously hold up to like 700whp..
I believe the Z's internals can hold between 400-500 reliably on 10-14psi.
And I sure as hell wouldn't mind a 450rwhp Z34 lol. Although a 450hp S would probably be faster and a little more reliable, I'd choose a 450hp Z34 over a 450hp S!

I had a dream last night that I owned a turbo'd S in the summer-time and it was the sweetest thing ever haha.
FI would be a little more expensive on the Z, obviously..
The stage 2 TT kit on Z1 is 8k+ and will get you to probably 550 (give or take) on 10-12psi, and on stock internals.

I owned a 370Z. I liked it, but not as much as my S. IMO it tries to be too many things at once but doesn't really excel at anything in particular.
It's a good compromise if you want a cross between a 5.0 and a S2000. Yes, I owned a 5.0 too.

I have a 370z (touring with sport) and I owned a s2000. I've driven both to work, both on the track, and everything in between.
The Z beats the S
steering feel(pneumatic power steering rack)
grip (mostly form much bigger stick tires)
Suspension travel
more luxury in the interior
engine
brakes (14" 4 piston front brakes)
transmission strength
interior space
The S beats the Z in
Clutch
Transmission feel
Better LSD differential
Economy
Weight, buy a lot
Gas tank design (Z suffers fuel starve at over 3/4 of a tank on track while the S can go down to almost empty)
Engine oil cooling (Z suffers from oil temp issues on track)

Be sure to drive the 370 as it is quite different from the s2000. The s2000 is way more fun to drive for me even with the torque disadvantage, and I drive a LS3 car for daily. I had a few friends who really wanted the 370 till they drove one.
Best of luck to your choice!

Here are a couple deals I found on both cars, close to home..
Z - http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/ctd/3594100978.html
S - http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/ctd/3595955325.html
I just don't want to go silver.. regardless of which car I get. I think it's boring.
Same with yellow. I don't want a yellow car.. lol.
Black, blue, or white, are the colors I really want.

I was looking at this one really hard before I ended up buying another S2000: http://www.the370z.com/370z-sale/626...lean-fast.html
White or Black with the persimmon interior is an amazing combination.
