s2000 next to a 350z
Found these pictures of an S next to a Z... looks like the cars are kinda similar in size although the S may be longer and is obviously much lower...

Is it just me or does this remind you guys of a 944 crossed with a 911?
Anyone ever picked up on the huge MB resemblence in the bigger Lexus models?

There is quite a few 350Zs on the road here already - they do look interesting but I can't really see myself in one. Wouldn't mind taking one for a drive though and seeing how they go/feel.

Accodring to the specs the 350Z is much bigger (in every respect) than the S2000. S2000 is a tiny car (ie. shorter than MR2) while the 350Z is about as big as 300ZX (and taller).
I remember seeing the 350Z at the Motor show last eyar (or was it year before) and I remember being surprised by it's sheer size. Afterall, it's on the same platform as the US Skyline.

A friend of mine with an S15 200SX has already done that. He sais that it feels very much like the 200SX but heavy(er). He said the steering, gearbox and clutch felt very much the same. Though, he though there was less understeer and more torque at low revs. He sais he could not feel a difference at the top end (but that could be just his butt dyno). Also he was not too hapy with the engine (ie. rough) .. though, he did like the car a lot even though he said it feels more like a GT.
ps. I'd like to take one for a spin as well ... I'm not sure if you can swith all the electronics off (ie stability control) as in the BM video they were saying you couyld not. Thoat'd be enough for me to get something else ... hopefully you can switch it all off.

if you browse the pictures from that link, the 350z looks like it is shorter due to the long front of the S, but it could be just the angles...
There's actually quite a lot of discussion on this site about the 350z vs s2000 - bottom line seems to be that both cars are good but different.
Possibly more interesting is the 350z convertible which has a glass window and integrated soft top cover...

One report said it may only appear in a 5 speed auto which couldn't be good for performance...
