But when some one comes along who can drive it properly it can be very quick. This is stricktly stock for stock, the z will respond better to mods than the s2k. But the s2k is definitly the better handler out of the two.

3. MS RX-8 ver. 2 (Running on potenzas, adjustable coilovers)
4. 350z 25th anniversary addition
5. S2000
Finished:
1. 350z
2. S2k
3. G35c
4. RX-8 shinka
5. MS RX-8

non-negotiable pricing is honda's biggest flaw
=\
But then s2000 doesnt respond well to mods...
I dont know why "go fast mods" even would be considered for that car..
Japanese GT s2ks like SPOON or AMUSE is about sheding weight and attack the corners... bit like elise in that sense... You have to watch the TOUGE video with BOSS EVO 7 vs AMUSE s2000... EVO with 50% + HP and still got burnt because of handling...
Sorry about pro-s2000 talk
FLAME SUIT STATUS ---> *ON*

I dont know if you can just arbitrarily say the S2K is the winner on track...Ive seen articles where the Z beat the S2K and RX8 on a few roadcourses..Sometimes different tracks suit different cars...On a tight technical track I think the S2k may edge out the Z but its not a given...Both great cars and it comes down to driver on both the Drag Strip and Track in my opinion...Only track where the Z would probably dominate the other two is the ones with long straighaways....Question to me is, which one is the most pure sports car? The nod may go to the S2K for some and vice versa...The discussion continues...
