As to your other question, Before I bought my 350Z, I was considering an S2000. The S2000 hand great handling characteristics, yet I chose the 350Z over it. But I do like how you group the RSX with the S2000. Besides brand name, there is nothing common with those two vehicles in the "handling" department.
Why must you make me continue with this?

I didn't bring up handling, you did. I said both cars were nimble because they both weigh in at a light 2800 pounds or so. Does it really bother you that I used two Hondas? I mean as long as I don't present any false information right? I wasn't comparing anything other than the weight of the cars. So, where was I wrong?

If you like to nitpick, then I apologize for not giving you a dictionary definition of the word nimble. Happy?

While the rsx is definitely not as powerful as a Z, it's a much more nimble car, and gets better gas mileage, which = a better daily driver in MY opinion. I can finally see why 350s get called the "mustang" of Japanese cars. Some owners start relying on power for everything and once they drive a car that is slower in a straight line they start complaining. It's also beginning to make sense where all this S2000, Rx8, any car with less torque than the 350, hate comes from. No offense or anything, but there's more to a cars than the gas pedal.

Before you all start getting on my nuts about how I think a rsx > 350, I DON'T. The 350z is a much better overall car than the rsx, but with gas prices nowadays, it's definitely not THAT bad of a trade like the OP is describing it as.
I dont dislike hondas as much as i dislike most of the people who live by me that drive them. i know most ppl who drive or are into hondas aren't like that but the ones by me have riced out ones and act like theyre hot ***T and talk trash about nissan. it gets annoying after awhile. As far as the rx8 goes it has a horrible problem with burning oil among other things there was thread about it somehwere on here, i dont know all the much about the s2000 but its not a bad car at all from what i hear

Why don't just get like a Boxster, Evo, or just hold off for a few years until a new sport car come out? I think it's no point to drive the same car twice, just a waste you money, you know. I your case it just gonna be like wasting money for nothing (expect maybe just for a newer Z, but that's all to it).
Boxster?

I have been through this before, for the longest time I could not make up my mind on having either a sports car or a normal vehicle.

It went from:

Mustang GT to Jeep Renegade to Mustang 5.0 to Titan to RX-8 back to Titan then finally the Z.

I have decided to just purchase an additional vehicle (Maxima) and have the best of both worlds. I have no plans to sell the Z anytime soon.

I only liek the s2000 as far as honda goes but I just love my car. As far as tuning goes, it costs alot with these cars, you can get alot of out of them but you need deep pockets, but im sure you realize that bc you have one lol. I had a 98 gst and it was so cheap for parts. It was really quick too, after doing some work I had it up to 317 whp before an suv took me into a divider on the freeway when i got caught in a heavy thunderstorm. I miss that car but i def like the z more it looks nicer and def has more class to it.

Please do not speak for me, Im plenty capable myself. Im not saying that the Z is the best car created, but of all the cars I have owned, and I have had almost 30 now, it was one of my most memorable and fun to drive cars.
I have had turbo integras, b16 CRX's, I had a 98 240sx turbo, Audi TT, RX-8, 06 Mazda Miata just to name a few. The only cars I wish I still really had was my 350Z and my EVO. This is a 350Z forum though, so I dont think my thread is outlandish or anything.

yeah 30 cars wow thats what i call living right there.....see thats my problem i have spent many of thousands fixing up my rides only to sell them soon after i reach my goal with it....i started at the age of 17 fixing up my 5.0 stang, then onto a 94 civic hatch with built motor at 19 haha that was by far the best build i have done to see the look on the face of v8 owners after they got smoked by a 2.0 4 cyl lil *** civc...then onto my 06 si....which i loved that car but the aftermarket parts where weak and $$$$$ sold it started on my 92 hatch build which consisted of a full drag turbo kit,block and head work...hours of fine tuning and when finished it came across the 350z which i own right now and now searching for parts for it....a lil hard to find parts since i knew where to find all my honda parts but cant find a good place for the nissan....any advice...looking for all the nec..parts to start the turbo build

I have an 06 Kawasaki ZZR 600. Its only a 600 but will smoke most 350's all day anyway. Bikes are fast.

This thread is no longer useful though, and people are just kinda stupid so I will do everyone a favor and lock it myself. To those that understand my humor, thanks for joining my in my thread. To those others, learn to laugh a little and see sarcasm when its smacking you in the face.
