370Z is the car for you. You'll feel like a teenager driving a civic if you're use to a BMW 335i. If you really want an S2k, buy an AP1 for under 10k to play around with on the weekends. You won't like it as a DD.

The 370 will give you the best of both worlds you're looking for. Find one coming off lease or used with low miles and buy your weekend S2k.

I got rid of the 335 cause it was about to go out of warranty.... Even though my dealer took care of all repairs I was at the dealer a lot. I was pushing almost 400 who with a tune, and DP, ,DCI but it started to too become a hassle taking the mods out before going to the dealer.

That's why I would like to stay away from Audi, BMW or me cedes for now.

I don't want to get prices involved but if I buy a s2k it's going to be around 23k or less... For the Z, well I found a new 2010 base w/ sports for 29k.



I got rid of the is350 .......

- numb steering
- crappy handling
- dead aftermarket
- even the forums is dead
- out dated technology
- the interior creaks
.... Ect

If you want a sports car, S2000. If you want a more stiffly-sprung 2-seat version of a luxury sedan, 370Z.

Just like everyone else said, if you want something softer, faster, and more feature loaded, get a Z. If you want a pure drivers car, get an S2K. The Z feels very heavy, to me though IMO, whereas the S feels like a go-kart.

On a related note, there is few better feelings than taking some "spirited" corners in the S2K with the top down on a nice day.

If I could afford a 370Z.. id buy one..

I'm going to have to go with the PT Cruiser.


I love my S2000 and all but If i could afford a brand new 370z, then I would look into used Corvettes. LS2s can be had for mid 20s. LS3s for low 30s. Just sayin'

I feel like all the s2k owners here have an inferiority complex.

That being said, it really depends on what you want. If you're not going for a relatively spartan sports car, the Z is the better choice.

The s2k is one of those cars where if you're not 100% sure that it's the car for you, its probably the wrong car.

If money isn't an option, I would get a convertible 370z. I've driven one, and it was fantastic. You may lose out on resale if you like to bounce from car to car, but it's a fantastic car and probably still under warranty for a used one. Unlike the 350z roadster, which i think is a monstrosity, the 370z roadster looks great.

The 370Z looks like a great bang for the buck on paper, but quite honestly it left me a bit cold for some reason. Prob. the worst thing was the powertrain's NVH at higher RPM's. The Synchro Rev match was pretty neat, a good compromise between trad. manual and DCT.

I drove one thinking it could possibly replace my M3 and allow me to make a big deposit in my bank account w/ the difference. My impression was that it was materially subpar to both the M3 and my prior Cayman S, which was its development target. I want to like it as a potential track car, but brakes don't cut it, lots of thermal management issues, excess weight, POS viscous differential, etc. It seems like a lot of car for your money, but I can tell where Nissan cut corners to hit a price point.

I'm about to buy my 3rd S2000, if that helps to answer the question. IMO, the S is more fun and a better visceral experience. However, I'd prob. favor the 370Z if I was relying on one of them to be my DD. FWIW, I even think my MX-5 (well-modded) is more fun than the 370Z.
