most of the aerodynamic downfalls on the S are from the stuidly upright windshield and the soft top.
Everything is a sacrifice. If the car was a coupe w/ a fastback tail and was a tad longer, I can see it being just as slick as the Z.
I'll let the Z have its 13secs -- I imagine running the Ring w/ an open top would be 100x more fun

Honda spent so much R&D time and money on the S2k you'd think they would have made it more aerodynamic.

13 seconds is a lifetime of difference and I was curious as to why the 350Z does so much better on Nurburgring, despite similar acceleration and 500 lb weight difference. Thanks.

maybe the driver of the S2000 weighed 400lbs more than the driver of the 350Z...thus negating the S2000's weight advantage.
I doubt there is a 550-600lbs race car driver out there... Let alone someone that big that could easily get into a car....a 2 door sports car at that

many different sources all state about similar times. I am puzzled.
Where did you get the times?
I'd formulate some ideas to add to this discussion if I knew how, when, where and who produced these times....without a resource to add to this point it make this discussion hard to analyze.
