Wait till you see one side by side with an S2000 - you realise how BIG the 350Z is.

I remember reading a road test report that described the car as looking like 'a fat man in short trousers', and could see what they meant!

i would have to disagree with a lot of the hate here.

mine was an 07, and was a lovely car to drive, be in, and look at. the engine with an exhaust sounds very naughty indeed. but yes, the car is not as exciting or nice to drive in the sun with the roof down as an s2k.

what i will say in favour of it though, is that it has an almighty fine chassis for sliding around in compared to the s2k, and, well, a lot of other cars, it made going sideways a lot very easy, i did eat a set of rear tyres in my 4 month ownership as it really was so easy! hooning around smoking the rears out is something that you just cant do all the time in the s.

stay part of the club, part of the forum etc. youll soon come round to getting an s2k. but like i said before.... BUY MY HSD's!!!! haha

I will be hanging around here anyway, I will own the 350 outright and have got it for a good price so their is nothing stopping me from selling it and trying out an s2000 later on down the line.

For the time being I love it. I've always drove hondas and it feels quite refreshing to have all that low down power for a change

Nope, it was the episode comparing the S2000 with the Z4 & Boxster.
Have fun with the Z, but you really should scratch the S2000 itch one day
