Default Couldn't decide between s2k and 350z...

No contest!

2 test drives say more than 1000 reviews... This definitely made my decision a whole lot easier. The 350z feels like a pickup truck compared to the S! Big and heavy... the S feels so much more nimble. Sure, the 350 has obviously more torque, but so does the Dodge Ram I drove to the dealer

Still shopping around, hoping to join the ranks by next week

S2k all the way!

Funny - I had the same debate before I got my S. It was definatly the right choice. Besides, you cant beat the convertible in nice weather.

350Z do come in conv too. But I will wait for 07 to come out before I decide on the 06 or 07 S.
My choice was 350 Z Conv, Evo IX, S2000, M3 used.

I was stuck between those cars too but I ended up here. I don't regret my decision!

You never will, unless you decide that that the S2000 doesn't have enough room for you, or unless your S.O. can't handle sharing your love with a car.

The 350z feels like a pickup truck compared to the S!


Fun factor versus more torque & a turbo? Bleh, I pick the fun factor

The 350z is a great car, but it's just not my cup of tea.

I test drove them back to back too. I came up with a very similar outcome. Hope you end up with an S soon!!

I drove the S after the Z and I was sold. The S is much more suited to my tastes, although I will admit I would like to have a Z as well....just because I like it also, just not as much as the S2000.

I would not wait until 2007, I would get a Laguna Blue Pearl 06 right now if I could. That color is mutha f'n amazing!!!

After 400 miles of top-down motoring today, I'm once again thrilled I bought this car.
