ok so im getting a bit bored of my evo and i am looking for another car to drive had the evo for 2 years, all payed off, and id like to switch to something else to drive for a bit my plan at the moment is selling my car, buying a cheaper daily, looking to spend around 10k or so, bank some cash and do some saving, and when the time comes around purchase something nice, along the lines of a 335 or something like that so anyways im debating what kind of car i should get to daily i am currently considering an s2000 or a 350z both of which i could pick up for around 10k which would give me a prime amount of cash to bank once i sell my evo i plan on keeping the cars pretty much stock, just looking to do things such as suspension and wheels, possibly some minor modding such as an intake/exhaust and stuff like that looking for opinions and preferences on the two cars also looking for other other opinions for other cars for the poll, select an explain please ill leave the option for an “other” for something else i could rock as a daily any input would be appreciated, thanks 😃 ---

I have a soft spot for 350z. I love the sound of them with long tubes… They have come down a bunch in price. Not the fastest or best handling but I \<3 I loled. ---

I have a lot of fun with my car. They are pretty inexpensive now and for the money you cant really beat it. Its fun to drive on the street, Fun to drive on the track, and in my opinion very sexy. ---

350z, you will hate the lack of power in the s2000 coming from a modded evo ---

More like lack of torque, but they’re pretty close in performance. I liked my S2000 a lot and that was coming from a corvette, but def missed the low end power. One thing to keep in mind is that the interior is VERY small on the S2000 and there is a little more comfort in the 350Z. IMO you should just get a G35 and forget about having a junker car. It seems like a good balance of performance and comfort and you don’t have to waste money on something else. If you’re stuck on the 350 vs S2000…think about it this way. If you’re going to do a lot of track events with this car, get the S2000. If you’re not 350Z for the road. You can drive the 350z/g35 platform in the winter better then you could the S2000…don’t know if you would either way, but just thrownin that out there. ---

I just picked up a G35 a few months ago and i love the car. good amount of power, great styling, somewhat luxo, and its somewhat different. ---

I’d say G35 as well, but if that doesn’t interest you than the 350Z. ---

Trade your car in for a 335. Pretty sure there is 0% out there on CPO 2007 335i’s right now, that’s better than “banking and saving some prime amount of cash”. X… ---
