Where does your Z redline?
The first thing people think is that the S2000's cruising rpms are so high compared to other cars. The s2000 has a higher redline than other cars. Most cars redline around 6-7k, so they're cruising is around 2800-3500rpm(highway speeds) while the S redlines at 8-9k. So the higher cruising rpms are normal.

My Z redlines at 7500 (07). So Im not sure wtf your point is seeing the ap2 maxes out at 8k.
What rpms does your Z spin at when you're cruising at 65? 70? 75? & 80?
The S is geared higher due to the limited amount of tq. If it had more tq than it would be able to "lug" itself around in a lower rpm at highway speeds. Otherwise it bogs the motor. That's why the motor is spins in a higher rpm. Higher redline is another factor...
Enjoy your Z!!!
Have a nice day.

not to mention 4 cyl cars generally rev higher than 6 cyl. although s2000 is higher than most other 4 cyl cars, the engine doesn't feel like it's "working hard" even at 3.5-4k rpms.
Congrats dude
... Enjoy the S and great seeing you on here!!!

Hey man, I remember when you were running around s2ki with a 240sx in your sig saying you can't wait to pick an S up in a couple of years.
