I had a Z and it had far better aerodynamics than the S. It also pulled a little harder and was WAY more planted at speed! The G is very nice car too! Good kill!

That's all subjective, of course. The S2000 slaloms better and has better grip, which would then lead me to believe that it's as "well-planted" or even more so, than the Z. Remember- it has a stiffer suspension, is lower to the ground, and is much lighter. And those are facts...

I'm pretty sure the Infiniti's aero is better then the s2000s. Although with crappy gearing... (I think like 3.6)... the car's 60 hp advantage and 500+ pound disadvantage results in a loss for it.

I haven't personally witnissed a race between an s2k and g35c, but from a roll I'd think the g would have a slight advantage givin its sizeable [60]hp advantage, I'll ignore the 120tq advantage since it is from a roll. Perhaps the aero's of that car are significantly worse than the s2k's. I know from driving them that the 300hp 350z has a slightly higher top speed than an s2k, which is expected.
My buddy has a 6sp '05 touring coupe with the optional forged 19" wheels and finally after putting 7k miles on his G. He agree to raced me...let me tell you it's not even close... 5 mph first gear roll on, i jump ahead with about 3/4 to 1 car length, by the time i shift to third i had about 2 1/2 car lead. I couldn't tell how fast i was going, because I was concentrating looking ahead and watching the tech to shift at close to 9k rpm each time...Raced him in 2nd gear from 30 mph to 85 mph end up in forth gear. Had about 2 to 2 1/2 car length.. don't underestimated the S...lack of power...In straightway, good power to weight ratio and better gearing is more important than just power alone..

S2K > G35

Stock for stock the S will pull very well down low. Top end it should be fairly even with the S having a slight advantage, although after 130 or so I would think the G would have the slght advantage due to it's higher numbers. Ofcourse I have yet to loose to any G35 myself. I can pull on them instantly in any gear, and keep pulling. stock or modded.
