S2K = Chick car. I don’t care how it performs. Same as a miata with 400 hp. It’s still a miata and I’d never own one. At least the 350 Z looks like it’s worth as much as it costs. ---

That plastic looks like cheap recycled crap IMO. The S2000 is a drivers car, just like the miata. To get the full potential out of it you have to know what your doing. That’s why its not for everyone. ---

lol i love how all the s2000 fans backlashed with google pics :lol: but in all honesty i’d take an s2k over a 350 any day. unless the 350 had an rb26 in it… ---

Have you had the chance to drive both close to the limit. Personally I liked the s2000 more, it just felt more reponsive to my imput. The only real draw back I found with the S2K was that you have to rev the piss out of it to get into the power… Its basically a race engine though… so I am fine with doing that all day long. ---

The fact of the matter is this is turning into a stupid battle between Honda Fanboys and Nissan Fanboys on a NISSAN Fanboy forum(wtf!). Tell what me so relevant about this argument? ---

^^^ yeah pretty much. I don’t have to drive a car to know I wouldn’t buy it either. I only test drive cars I am willing to invest some money into. An S2K ain’t ever going to be on that list. Nothing against anyone who owns one. That’s why we have options in cars, so we don’t have to drive a car we think is overpriced for what it is and how it looks. ---

I am sorry but any car guy would rather have a S2k over a sentra.

Oh and let’s find where I said I was comparing my car to a a S2K or a 350Z? This thread is about S2K vs 350Z right, not about Sentras. Do you really think I believe it’s in the same class? I’d have a pretty skewed perspective on reality if I actually thought that. Sure, I can blow the doors off either one stock, but that’s not the point of the thread now is it? :lol: :lol: I’m going to subscribe to this one just to see how much more support we can get for a Honda on a Nissan forum while bashing other Nissans at the same time.

i personally love both the s2k and 350z… and the prices for s2k these days are getting cheap so i dont know why anyone is saying its overpriced. in convertible form the s2k looks 100 percent better than the convertible 350z. if i had to choose a sports car in the 25-35 k range then the s2k will be my first choice. if i had to choose between both of them at all i would choose the 350z simply cause it looks more well designed in and out. ---

I’d go s2000 all the way. If you want a track car, you can’t argue with the light weight and high reving engine. With an aftermarket suspension set up, watch out!!! ---
