s-2000 or 350z
i had a 2002 s-2000 for about two years and i loved wrapping it up to 9 grand
and it handled like a go kart but being a conv there was a lot of road noise
i now own a 2005 enthuiast model and it is the best all arond car i have owned here is a list ocars ive owned 87 must gt 94 must cobra 97 integra type r acura cl type s rsx type s i just wanted to steer you in the right direction so far i put the injen air intake the motordyne spacer and in about two weeks a stillen tru dual exhaust the sound of the z is incredible and the design is awesome just some friendly advice from a 56 year old hippie

do you race
I like to compete with my sports cars.
If you are like me, you don't have a local track to go to monthly (or can't afford it), then you can go to the auto-xs you'll want an S2000.
If you live near a track and can do track days, get the Z.
I would get a 4 cylinder over a 6 cylinder (I own a 6 now) just because gas is a killer here in San Diego.
I have to borrow my g/f's Honda Del Sol VTEC because it gets close to 30 MPG!
My next car is going to be a Pontiac Solstice GXP, 260hp, turbo, and with the direct injection engine 27MPG and light. Its got it all

I have to say that the only way your going to know what you like more is by actually going and driving them. I almost killed myself trying to decide between s2k and Z but when i drove the Z......"what S2k?"!!!
