I like how the Z looks. I drove a Track model and it felt good, but not as pure and nimble as an S2K, and the gear box wasn't a comparison either.

I think it all boils down to this.....The S2K is hand made and feels like it. Everything is tight from the stearing to the nice heavy sound when the door shuts. The car is just made better and not off some assembly line and that is reflected in the way the car drives.

I like the look of the 350z but after driving an S2K its like dating a fat chic after breaking up with the prom queen

hand assembled... not hand made...

and hand made/assembled don't always mean superior quality/consistancy.

It's funny how critical people seem to be here of other cars. Almost all of my car friends have S2Ks here in Austin, but they are fans of all cars, as am I. I love S2Ks, but I really love my 350z also. I find MOST people on my350z.com to be pretty much fans of all cars, and can respect cars for their strong and weak points, and appreciate their decision.

Anyhow, not saying you all are flat out bashing it, but some of the stuff people are saying just doesn't match up with what someone subjectively viewing the car would say. Anyhow, good to be here just the same.

And in conclusion, I think both cars are hot, but I looooove mine

A few pics...

Thanks Saud2k....blue...yum, your car is one of my favorite colors. I sure wish we had it in the states. The blue Z is the only color I sometimes regret not getting.

Nice. May want to get some chrome polish on th exhaust tips. Just some friendly advice from another Z owner. Window tint would be cool also.

Any mods besides the wheels?

hail to the greatest Z I've ever driven.

That s2k at the curb is pretty funny lookin'. Looks like a kit car.


I'm ordering the JWT Pop Charger instead of the Injen CAI this afternoon so I'll have it installed by next weekend. Everyone is raving about it at my350z.com
