Choose one, here are the arguing factors. The cars in question would be early years, AP1 s2000’s and 2003/04 350z (w/ lsd)
ALSO: I want to know RELIABILITY of the motors with High miles, I’m talking 80k +
cost of maintence
fun
cost/mod friendly?
insurance
reliability (stock and modded)
performance (stock and slightly modded)
What I do not care about is which one “looks” better…
The 350z is way more powerful than the s2000. That is why I got the Z over the s2k.
Insurance was just about the same I believe.
Interior is a bit nicer on the s2k, but SMALLER
Both are reliable cars
s2k does not respond well to mods
performance wise, the s2k is a better handling car. The Z is faster in a straight line.
If you drive both, you will have a tough time deciding. There are a lot of 350z haters out there. For what reason, I am not really sure.
Power was the deciding factor for me. Something doesn’t sit well with me when I need to bring a car up past 7k rpms to get it to move quick.
That is likely an FI car. Bolt-ons like exhaust and intake will yield you close no gains. I wasn’t talking about how much power it could make, I was talking about what gains you see from the mods you put on.
well of course it has assisted breathing…
ive seen small gains with bolt ons but your right nothing to call home about…how do those vq53whatever respond to i/h/e
Interior is way nicer on the S2k, handling is way way better, the 350z feels like a pig stock. Transmission is way way way better, it’s just a more fun and driveable car all around.
