s2000 or 350z

Which one do you think is better and WHY!!!!!!????????

Look in the Cars in General > Car comparisons section of AF and there are tons of threads with reasons why one is better than another.

Id take the s2000 with the 2.0 liter engine, but thats just personal preference.

^^ thats because you own a honda that is why you would take one, but i like the 350z and will chose it anyday for a honda.

Based on looks I'd take the S2k. In trying to move the 350 back to the styling cues of the older Z's (something they failed to evoke, IMHO) they made the car look fairly mediocre from any angle but the front.

No, its not because I own a Honda. Ive owned and driven various cars and Im only 19. And I worked in the Nissan, so im not baised. I would just prefer it over the 350z, once again PERSONAL PREFERENCE. Both cars are great.

I test drove both of them last weekend and the s2k handled A LOT nicer!!! I am a fan of the 350's little maintaining requirements (I mean, 105,000miles b4 first tune up is crazy cool) but the s2k has more ummph!!!

well this is a honda forum, anyways ill take a z33 anyday over a cl9, thats my personal prefferance. Meanwhile ill stick with my shit zzt gts.

350z, i like torque. And i have driven both. My dad has a 350z and my bro has a s2000. and the 350z has more power potenial.

i guess

NEATHER!! Get a 735i BMW it will beat it 4 SURE ! And make it 91' cuz i have that and i kill anything... and + its a family car.. i mean come on.....

Now, thats what you call a stupid answer.

I would be happy with either one they are both awesome.

I guess it will depend on if you prefer torque or high revv........ S2K won't be nice to drive ard city area as Z... nor up a slop from stop!! I like nissan 6cylinder but i like high revv too....... so hard to decide on both!! If i had two cars, a family and a sports, i would take the S2k... else 350Z... cheers..

4 sure the 350z. i tested both cars and ended with the z. look and power.

i'd take the 350z i like torque as well. its kinda nice to make your tires spin at 3000rpm's instead of 7000rpm's

Have to say the 350z the s2000 looks i dont really like that much...

2.0 s2000 for 18-20 G's on autotrader.com plus 4 G's for supercharger= 320 HP at the crank for under 25 G's. Classic race style and better suspension already included. I like 350Z, just think s2000 is better.

"As my eyes became heavy and I fell asleep, I had a dream of good old Santa delivering my present- behold, a 91' 735i BMW?" I think Santa was smoking that night.

The S2000 is way better
1. S2000 looks way better
2.S2000 is faster on track.
3. S2000 has better traction.
4. S2000 has better build quality and is more relible.
5. 350Z has a crappy motor that nissan stole out of a piece of crap french car.
6.S2000 makes way more horsepower per liter.
7.S2000 sounds a lot better.

JUST WONDERING WHY THEY GOT YOU BANNED?

I chose the s2000 over the 350z. Haven't regretted my decision since.

S2000 is an "Initial D" car and 350z is not.

Well, being a licensed SCCA instructor and having driven both on the track, I have to go with the 350Z. More predictable and flatter torque curve and more potential to make more power in the aftermarket. But, most of you ricers will never understand that....

I was undecided between the 350 and G35 for 2 months and ended up with an S2000. For me it was comfort and the SUPER slick shifter that sold me on the s2k. Both sound good, but I do prefer the 350's exhaust note. The Z is more torquey, but I was pleasantly surprised by the torque of the 2.2l s2k (and I've been driving a 300+ft-lb GTP for 2 years). But in the end, the Z was uncomfortable to drive, lacked usable storage, and the sound system sucked bad. The s2k just fit me and the fact that it is convertible is a bonus at the same price. Plus, there's Honda's reputation vs. the 2003 Z that I drove that was a rattle trap and had some nasty driveline noises. I could go on, but those are the main points :)

Predictability is not always a good thing. If you wanted predictability, you would have been driving something FWD. Some of you wannabe tuners don't understand that more power does not necessarily equate to being better.

For fun factor, Honda S2000 is perfect pick, 240 hps for that little car? that's not a joke guys, S2000 is fun, I would pick that. As for the 350Z, if I could pick between 350Z or Infiniti G35, Infiniti G35 all the way. 350Z is a sport type, G35 is more of luxury type, G35 looks nicer.

The S2000 is way better
1. S2000 looks way better ......Opinion
2.S2000 is faster on track. .....Driver's Race
3. S2000 has better traction. .....Proof?
4. S2000 has better build quality and is more relible. ....Possibly, but ask in 10yrs
5. 350Z has a crappy motor that nissan stole out of a piece of crap french car. ....Crap motor? S2k JGTC what now? thought so.
6.S2000 makes way more horsepower per liter. ....Oh god...
7.S2000 sounds a lot better.....Opinion

congrats on not contributing much to the topic, dumbass.

anyways, its a total coin-toss in my case, either one would do and perform very similar. the s2k is a much lighter car and doesnt respond well to mods but being a light car, doesnt need big numbers to perform either. the 350 has displacement and has a lot of room for growth, which is a plus because the car is a bit heavy for the numbers it boasts. styling for both are so-so but can look alot better with a kit which is a toss-up. i like the interor of the Z better but that doesnt mean anything to me though in comparing the two. the Z is a more conventional car but then again, who buys sportcars for conventionality. like i said, either or is fine because performance is very much alike.

you're welcome, PUNKASS

umm - i believe that he was talking to NSX-R - not you BNR34 V-SPECII

Alright if you want to know which car is better go out and drive both of them..the SK will be better for some people whereas the 350Z will be better for others...

350z, i like torque. And i have driven both. My dad has a 350z and my bro has a s2000. and the 350z has more power potenial.

of course it has more power potential...it has 1.5 more Liters...

of course it has more power potential...it has 1.5 more Liters...

Actually, they started prodicing the S2000 with a 2.2 last year, so it's only 1.3 litres smaller. lol

lol ya i know...

i would take the S2000. Better handeling, smaller car, only like....39? less hp, and you gotta love that push to start botton. and just the fact that it makes the most N/A HP/L out of any car in the world is pretty badass.

how do you size the 1.3 L in the RX-8...i have wondered this, because i have seen a few places that claim the RX-8 has the highest hp per liter...but i am not sure how they calculate that for the rotary...

I'd take the 350Z. And this is coming from a Honda owner.

i would take the s2k by a longshot. my dad has one and it hauls. but thats kinda bias

depends what you're looking for. S2000 is a little more of a track car, with a harsher ride and less functionality. However, it's a fun, high revving, amazing handling car. The 350 is quite a bit more torquey, and has some more usable features. If you're leasing, the 350 doesn't come close to the S in price, otherwise, they're about comparable.

mwaahahaha..
serious though..i just love the S2K..

my friend has a 350z. aaaaaand he's trading it in for a s2000. s2000 is just more fun. i love the z, but the performance isn' what'd you'd expect. to me the only thing it has going for it is the exterior. just my opinion

and the exhaust..i love the exhaust on 350's and G's

i personally owna honda, but i would take the 350z over the s2k anyday. you can just slap a turbo on the z and you will tear off on an s2k.

likewise. you can slap a turbo on a s2k and do the same thing

the s2k already has a turbo idiot. think about it

the s2k already has a turbo idiot. think about it

i'm pretty sure it is NA. lol

excuse me...idiot. Honda has not yet made a factory turbo'd car. Therefore the s2000 does NOT come with a turbo. Don't speak what you don't know. Look it up jackass then edit your post :newbie:

You're a fucking moron.

i read the thread and there are alot of people who chose the 350z and the poll only says that 2 people chose the 350z, wtf?

it is a flawed poll anyways, should be in car comparisons not the s2000 forum. of course you got more votes for the s2000, the poll is in the s2000 forum. duh.

put the same poll in the 350z forum and i bet you get different results.

Agreed

no i think the 350Z guys would vote for the S2000.

the s2k already has a turbo idiot. think about it

LOL gotta be one of the dumbest posts on AF

lol and he called me dumb

excuse me...idiot. Honda has not yet made a factory turbo'd car. Therefore the s2000 does NOT come with a turbo. Don't speak what you don't know. Look it up jackass then edit your post :newbie:
That's incorrect. Honda in fact has made a factory turbocharged car back in the 70s. It was some 1.3 l turbo econobox though.

Link?

The Honda Life (not marketed in the U.S.) has a factory turbo. Also, check this article out:



Honda turbos coming?

According to information posted to a popular Honda enthusiast Web site, honda-acura.net, the automaker plans to bring its first-ever turbocharged engine to the U.S. for model year 2006 or 2007. The 2.4-liter four would be fitted into either the Acura TSX or a new high-performance Civic model that would slot above the Si. The engine would be of a new design - not that of the 2.4 currently used in several U.S. products including the best-selling Accord - and would probably make about 240 hp. The next-generation Honda Civic Si will have either a 2.0-liter or 2.4-liter four, with standard horsepower boosted to around 200 hp in either form. Honda has already announced that it will offer a version of variable cylinder management system on a redesigned Pilot due this fall, and it will also offer a revamped engine lineup, including hybrid offerings, on Civic models, which will be all-new for '06.

I'm sure Honda will eventually release a turbo charged car. and its good to know that one is in the works. but i have never heard of a previous charged Honda

how do you size the 1.3 L in the RX-8...i have wondered this, because i have seen a few places that claim the RX-8 has the highest hp per liter...but i am not sure how they calculate that for the rotary...you have to essentially double the displacement.

the s2k already has a turbo idiot. think about it
holy crap :banghead:

yes honda did make a turboed car in the 70's ive seen a pic once in a old hondatuning mag..but i will also take a s2k over the 350 ..ill also take a g35 over the 350.. i cant wait until i get back from my deployment im buying a used 04 s2k .. but im going to still keep my teg ..i love my car :icon16:

If someone where to give me a brand new S2k for free, I'd probably go trade it in for a 350z. I just love that car

wow, you guys still going on and on about this subject?
