not to hate on hondas cause i love the s2k but dude the best price you could possibly get out the door for an s2k is 37. 37gs for a honda. or you could get a touring z for 35 and have a much more practical and fully loaded car.

I got my Z, in mint condition with 41K for 19 grand, no issues what so ever, awesome car. Z over a honda any day. Everyone I know with a Z has never had tranny problems, that is a random myth. The only real problem is after 50K miles, the drivers door window motor needs to be cleaned, carbon dust builds up, but that it. Half hour fix and your fine. Dude I would take a Z any day.

A random myth?? There are people on here that are on their 3rd or 4th replacement. I guess you'd have to SEARCH to find that out though!

Thats pure BS. YOu could get an 06 which is the exact same as an 07 for around 30k. Hell there is an 06 on a lot right around here for 30k. You can get 07's for around 33-35k. Mainly because its winter, this is more than likely the last year for them and they are not as well knows and are limited production so they have a harder time selling unless someone is an enthusiast or is into sports cars. Not like the Z which everyone and their mother knows about.

Are you trying to say subliminally with the picture that the 350Z > S2000

Just in case no one gets the joke, I am talking about the pavement left turning symbol ;P

If you're shopping for a new 07 350Z, get it. You won't be disappointed. It should be significantly faster than a stock 03-06 Z and it will be a step or two faster than an S2000.

Plus the new 07 350Z is supposed to get 10% better gas mileage than the current Z's. We already get 20-28mpg over here. The S2000 gets less mpg and it's a four cylinder. The worst of both worlds.

It depends on what you want. Obviously, most people here probably didn't just say, "I want a Z. Screw checking out other cars." People usually shop around and check their options. Like someone else said, S2000 owners are gonna be biased, just as we will be. I think the Z is a more solid car and you get more for your money. That's why I'm driving a Z over an S2000. When I asked the same question on a general car forum, 9 out of 10 people told me to get an S2000 over the Z. Luckily, I'm hard headed and I didn't listen.
