g35 coupe vs s2k

[massey187]

just wondering wut is faster o-60mph and in the 1/4 mile.....honda s 2000 oe the infiniti g 35 coupe 6spd.........i have heard that the 0-60 time ranges from 6.1 sec (road and track) to 5.7sec (car and driver)

[bk2kmax]

The G is quicker, both are great cars but driving the Honda is alot like driving a turbo'd car because that engine is a high revving one with the rev limiter at 9k rpm, the VTEC in that thing doesn't kick in to somewhere around 3k and then it just pulls hard.

However, the G with the big V6 3.5 is always on the cam and just drop your right foot and make sure the OD is off and woosh you're gone. in sixty seconds or as Car & Driver quoted 5.5 seconds to 60 mph.

G35 is quiker no doubt....VQ o3nz J00

haha i the S2K's v-tec doesn't come int till around 5500 rpm not 3K. even people with vtec controllers don't set their vtec to engauge that early. anyways, i think the S2000 is quicker then the G35 coupe. but the Z is faster then the S2000 (only marginally) in the straightline. however, the Z will do a lap at a race track a good amount faster then the S2000. now as for the G35 coupe? i don't know, i haven't seen any videos of them testing it yet. but if i had to choose. the G please

well the g35 is only marginally slower than the Z so i say that it will be able to take the s2000 on the track too....

Anyday over the S2k

hhhmmm............I guess I'd take an S2000- if I didn't need the extra refinement that the G provides- although I'd have to live with the S200's snappy chassis- but I like the engine a lot and with a Superrcharger- it should satisfy me greatly

[bk2kmax]

The S2000 only has 153 lbs ft of torque and the G has over 280, the Honda is a very nice car but I think the G is just more of an agile performer with a real smoothness about it.

I know people who raced the S2k and said that they rev the engine to about 3 grand and then dump the clutch so that by that time the Vtec is ready to engage by the time they grab the next gear.

The G is much easier to drive than the Honda and IMO it looks sexier although the Honda is bad, plus the G is bigger with more room and overall refinement.

I'd take the G over the less torquier Honda.

Is the G35 priced in the same territory as the S2000?

Oh you want to play rough eh? Well the Stillen supercharger or GReddy Twin turbo kit will bolt up just nicely to the G35 Coupe...and bye bye S2K...you look good in the rear view mirror

The S2k w/the Vortech Supercharger only gets like marginally faster...100HP more but 0-60 in 5.3 seconds...wow and you spent how much on the kit?

[blasian_man]

the G has backseats, and when i sat in a s2k i had to struggle to get in and out, im not fat either (165 lbs) haven't been in a g but i imagine its got alot more space, plus im not a fan of convertables, it rains too much in washington

[killasoundz]

the s2k is a road track car. the rear diff doesnt like to launch hard enough to give good 1/4 mile times. id rather have a 350Z for less money than the G or S2k and its faster than both. (can you say GREDDY TWIN TURBOS with the money i saved buying the 350 instead)

[NSX]

Well, C&D picked the S2000 over the G35 Convertible....

[infinIC]

well, for absolute speed, I think the s2k is faster, just cause it's so light. but coupe is great for touring, and has big torque, so much more comfortable.

personally, I hate the s2k, rip off for what it offers...but that's just my opinion
