Is the 350z longer in lenght than the s2000 if so how much never seen a 350z in person next door neibors owns a s2000 stock and say is would and will beat a z in every competition you put it in. I laugh at that one but please help on the first question thanks.

You can go to kbb.com or any car site and look up the numbers, or just use google.com if you know what you're doing. I just type one of these:

350z torque curb-weight
s2000 torque curb-weight

Those keywords will always appear on a spec. sheet.

There have been many arguments about the 350Z vs S2000 here, and the moderators said to knock it off. Some people prefer one or the other for purely emotional reasons. The cars are very different, and everyone has different tastes. Scientific comparisons are simple enough for anyone with a little high school physics if you just look at the specs.

Personally, I like the Z about a million times better, but that's just me.

the overall length won't matter as much as the wheelbase. if memory serves me correctly, z is 104" but the s2000 is only 92 (or many 94"). either way, that's quite a big advantage in short tracks like autocrosses.

moreover, while the z's engine centerline is mounted behind the axle, the enter s2000 engine is mounted behind the axle. theoretically, that should give it better balance (all other things being equal).

still, i really like the z. if the s2000 is faster, do i care? no. the z is the car for me.
