Test drove S2000 and 350Z yesterday
 
i was out in Phoenix yesterday w/ my dad lookin at apartments and ---- and we decided to go test drive some cars. first we test drove a yellow S2000, and damn that thing was ------ awesome. the entire layout of the car was perfect and so was the power.you guys just have to shift gars in one of these things, i couldn't really open it up because we weren't allowed to take it on the highway but i was very impressed to say the least. then we drove the 350Z. while this car was also amazing, it just didn't appeal to me like the S2000 did. low end torque was better than the S but overall the S2000 in my opinion is a much better car. i think maybe i've been driving my civic for too long! ;D

was it the 04 s2000 or the 03? i still like the s2k better than the 350z. i've seen people around town racing the 350z and it just doesnt look that fast at all. overrated imo

It was an o4 s2000, with the new engine. and yeah the 350Z just doesn't do it for me, i expected more from that engine, and little things like the clutch engagement bothered me. S2000 all the way!

i know the 04 s2k has a bigger engine but i dont think it produces more power than the 03 does it? arent they both rated at 240hp? so whats the point of the bigger engine? more torque?

I drive 350's all the time at work, and I think they feel alot tigter handling wise. As far as power, the s2k and the 350 are pretty weak. The s2k is just in dying need of some torque, but is alot of fun to rap the tach out. And the 350 is just backwards, torque is good but nissan cuts the redline out way early.

Both cool cars, but if I was gonna pick one of the other, I think it would have to be a s2k.

yeah i was reading up on it a little bit, they went from a 2.0 to a 2.2. it makes something like 7 more horsepower but more torque, i don't ------- remember but i likey

to me i thought the s2k handled better, its like it was on rails, and yeah the 350 cuts out way too early

I've probably drove them just a "tad" bit harder than you did on your test drives ;)

Man......i bet it would be fun to test ride both of them. I just get to test ride harley's. I would much rather prefer the S2000. ;)
