Default coming from a 370Z

hey guys

finally pulled the trigger on a slightly used 08 S2000. still waiting on the arrival.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1K-MILES-BL...=item2c515e6240

i currently own a 09 nissan 370Z but i plan on selling it once i get in the S2000.

i bought the Z in february and the car was great. but after a couple months of driving it the "fun" factor wasnt there compared to my previous car which was an RSX-S. I dont know, call me crazy but i just didnt feel like pushing the Z as much as i would've liked to and eventually got bored of the car. Sure, it turns heads and gets alot of attention but that was it really lol.

so my point is..., i cant wait for the car to get here and start modding again!
hoping to turbo the car!
would appreciate any personal insights of reliable turbo kits

Wow. I can't imagine an RSX Type S being funner then a 370z. Then again I've never driven either.

I would think it's strange, but I've read reviews saying the same thing about the 370Z just lacking the feel and fun factor of other cars.

I guess it proves that specs don't tell the whole story.

i drove my friend's rsx-s and my dad's 370z on the same track day, can't really say the rsx is more fun because the z still feels more planted and responds better than rsx plus the tq is there

370z has killer interior and better engine, but that's about it, im not a fan of the exterior myself. i'd still take the s2k over 370z anyday, congrats on the new purchase

you've made the right move IMO, I've driven the 350 but not the 370, and didn't really like the feel of it at all... And "automatic syncro-rev" just doesn't sound kosher to me...
