Wow, no posts from our resident troll in 48 hours.
C'mon boy, fetch, fetch the proof. Or are you all bark and no bite?
Not that we mind if you don't grace us with your razor wit and lighthearted humor.....BTW, that was what we call sarcasm Shiri.

It's clear, EVEN TO HIM, that he has lost, there was no match in the first place, it was like trying to fight a forest fire with a paintball gun. Our friend SHIRI just got blown to pieces in this thread. 
Thats what happens when you talk out of your a$$ and expect nobody to call you on it.
I am going to go do some
of my 350Z which is of course, inferior to the S2000 from a perfromance standpoint.

Wow, you know what I find funny. Even though the 350Z is a whale, or fat pig, or not a real sportscar, not a single person here mentioned that in that very same test, the Z was a full second a lap faster around the racetrack. Way to delude yourselves. And that is the luxo touring 'vert and not even the Track coupe. Enough said.
See you guys at the Streets of Willow August 3rd finally with race tires.

There is no doubt that in the hands of your average joe blow driver or even your average mag tester, the 350Z will inspire confidence in the driver and probably be the faster car.
In experienced hands though, the S2000 is much more of a precise and raw tool aimed at one purpose.

Funny thing is raceboy, no one really cares. The results were reversed in other tests, and we know that the S2000 takes some extra effort, skill and familiarity to extract the most from.
Now, if you can get into the 1:33's on the clockwise full track with the skidpad using RA-1s (not Hoosiers) on an otherwise stock 350Z, I'll be impressed. Plenty of us have run 1:34's on the same tires and no suspension mods on the S2000. There's your target - good luck! (and if you hit that one, you can shoot for the 1:30's on Hoosiers).
(although, to be fair, I don't think you have a shot - not because of any car deficiency, or lack of driver skill, but because of the conditions. Wish my car was set to go, but there are faster S2000 drivers than me, and I'm sure they'll be there)

Isnt really just a matter of opinion? The 350Z is better for some people and the S2000 is better for others. I bought the s2000 for one reason, autocrossing. And in the Autocrossing world, where the difference between .89g's and .90g's is the dif between 1st and 10th, no one argues the s2000 supieriority in the B-Stock category (for now anyways).
