S2000 vs. 350z Roadster

Not off the top of my head. I was doing the same search the other day, though. Search for '350z' in all of the forums. I'm sure 's2000' would work just as well, but at least four comparisons between the two popped up on my search.

Ok thanks.

OK I have a 2000 s2000 and a 2003 s2000. I also work for R1 performance motorsports inc. I can tell you that the 350z has a curb wieght of about 3200lbs it also has a wieght distribution of 53/47 even though it has more ft pounds of torque and hp it still has a little bit of a sloppy rear end . the s2000 has a curb wieght of 2800lbs and a wieght distribution of 49/51 and if you know how to work the stick at all you don't have to worry about loss of power coming out of turns. Even though I own a s2000 i would have to call it a draw..
Now I have about $28,000 dollars in my 2000 s2000 , and my buddy and I hit up Darsons 1/4 speedway he was running 11.8 in his 93 mazda rx7 turbo , and I was running 10.8 with my s2000 at 144 mph. So if you have the time and money. Buy a S2000. There fun little cars

ok I work for R1 performance motorsports inc out of hollywood cali. If you can drive a stick you can keep the horse power up on a s2000, and according to vina speedway where they just had the superstreet challenge the s2000 ran the track at 49.6 and the 350z ran a 54.9. you don't believe me check it out on superstreet.com It also ran the 1/4 mile at 14.22 and the 350z ran it at 14.85 . You show me through your resources where a stock 350z took a stock s2000 in the 1/4. Plus the engine in the 350z is a V6 with continuous variable valve timing control and molybdenum coated pistons doesn't really have a long life span. Its not the kinda car you would want to run nitrous through. They also tend to heat up pretty fast in tense situations. Compact car gave the s2000 an overall rating of 9.6. where th 350z only got a rating of an overall 8.7..

I think that one big misconception about the S2000 is that because of its higher compression ratio, its not a good idea to use forced induction. Lets face it, thats pretty much the easiest way to get signifigant horsepower gains out it. You CAN get horsepower keeping it naturally aspirated but you are going to spend some big bucks.

From what I've heard, getting intake and exhaust will give some decent power gains on the 350z 3.5L, just not possible on the F20C. That was a predictable statement though. :eek7:
