I own both.

I will say they are both great cars.

The S to me is more fun because its so raw and loud. The Z is I believe the perfect blend of sports car and practicality. It is a great car on the track yet still pretty civil on the streets. Which if you never plan on auto-xing might be the better choice. But those same attributes hinder it on a course because it isn't as tossable and then the weight plays in as well. Plus the enth stock re40's are the worst tires ever.

The S is simply the closest you'll get to a race car. I can't wait to auto-x it. Only thing I don't like it that compared to the Z it is more annoying in traffic because you do have to rev it a lot more to get it going.

Granted it is very forgiving when it comes to stalling. Its really hard to stall it and I'm a newb with a 6sp.

Overall I love them both just depends on what you're looking for.

The Z will be a better DD but my S is my DD and it doesn't bother me

Then again I'm not normal lol
