Neither simply because they're Nissan, a company which has really failed to impress over the last two decades.
That is prob. the most lame reason I have ever heard.

Anyway, go test drive both of them. You will, most likely, think the Z is a bit more fun. If you're looking for a little more usability, the G.

G35 coupe, it's gorgeous.

The only reason I didn't buy the Z back in 2003 because i knew everytime i'd see the G35 i'd wish I had the extra cash to get it.

So i said F both and got a used S2k and never looked back.

G looks soooo much better.

because, if you wanted performance, you'd consider neither, and get an s2000


for the money, id take a Lexus IS for real utility... but between the 2, G35 no contest

If someone backed a car loader up to my house and held a gun to my foot and said pick one or you loose your big toe...i would choose the G35 coupe, more room, better looking, a real trunk, simular performance and handling...but unless there was threat of bodily force i would not own a nissan product(my opinion:quality and design issues at present abound)

yeah...I totally see the resemblance. Good eye.

Seriously, some of you S2k guys have some issues. You have some sort of complex that needs to be worked on.

I will never lose any respect for the S2000. I love it, I've loved it since it came out, I love it now...and who knows, I might own one in the Future. If I do...I'm sure I'll love it then too.

Bottom line is that the two cars' performance is very close. If they were to race on a track, most of the time it's going to come down to the driver's ability. When it comes to racing one in a straight line on the street...a monkey could do it. And guess what...if you race against that monkey in your S2000 (stock for stock) you're going to lose. I don't understand the need, that a majority of you have, to talk shit on the Z.

There are some cool people on this site...don't get me wrong, but there are also a lot of deuches. So while it's true that I will never lose respect for the car...the same can't be said for some of its owners.

Flame on!!!

A Z lose in a straight line to an S2k? I don't think so. Driver's race up until a certain speed, due to drag.

But I'd get the Z instead of a G. I just looked at and test drove one today. Nice car, hope I get to buy it.
