350z or s2k?
i have both cars currently. the s2k is my daily driver and the z is the weekend/track car.
i love driving both cars, but they are completely different. i always drive the s2k with the top down, that's my favorite feature about the s2k. yes it is much slower than my z (turbo 400whp), but it's just as fun to drive for me.
i think if i had bought the s2k first, i would have never bought the z.

GSX FTMFGDW!!!!!!!!!!!! smoke both cars hands down even if u has a turbo or not haha
had a fist gen S2k (got it December '99) and have had my Z since 2003. Both awesome cars, in totally different ways. Out of all the cars I've owned to date (alot in the last 17 years!) both cars are at the top of the list

It holds you like a glove. But hey, i guess all Asians are small and all non Asians are big? I'm guess you're quite the fatty if you find the s2k small, huh?

I was thinking about getting an S2K as my next car instead of the Z but just fell in love with the Z the minute I test drove one. I would hardly use the drop top feature and would probably get a hard top anyways which beats the purpose. Although, White on White hard top S2K is the sex.

The S2k is ghey. If you want to look good driving your lover around then the Honda is your best pick. The Z and Z roadster are for real men.

It was one of those "hold hit" type accidents, where the cops/ems could not believe I was alive, let alone that I crawled out myself and was just chilling on the side of the road waiting for them to come. It did so well, I went out and bought another one a few days later!
Damm, I cant believe you made it out okay. The S2k looks like a sardine can. It's amazing how you walked away from that with no major injuries.

the s2k is definatelt a strong rigid car especianlly for the weight. every one complains about the tourque but you all boost your z's so boost the s2000. i've have the pleasure of driving a boosted and na s2k the difference is night and day. plus after also driving and owning my z i'd have to give the honda the nod on build quality. at least the 02 and up with the glass window and the leather center console.
Check out my thread... It's got a lot of useful informationhttps://my350z.com/forum/350z/298009...50z-s2000.html
Let's just say after a lot of thought and consideration, I chose the Z. Never looked back
