Default Torn between S2000 and 370z

I know, I know, test drive both...but still. One is a roadster and a very minimalist car. The other, a more raw version of the 350z (hated the 350's visual design).

Decisions decisions.

your forgetting the price. s2k 10-20k vs 370z 30-40k

also the resale value. s2k<370z

meh more like S2k $8k-$26k and resale on S2000s are better than Z's.... To me there is no real comparison, the S2000 is much more a driver's car, much more fun and the looks are much better imo... Get the Z if you just want power

That's the only way to decide. You've got to figure out which one fits you best.

I knew that I wanted a CR over the 370Z. I'd test drove the 370Z & never drove a S2000 b4 buying. I think the reason I test drove the Z was just to give it the last chance b4 buying the CR. The Z is a very nice car(one that I test drove was the touring model with sport pkg/6spd manual) but the bottom line for me was the top down motoring and the fact that the CR is a driver's car.(no gizmos inside, just what you need to go fast) Also, I see Zs every day versus 1 a week for the S.(I've only seen 1 other CR on the road/besides meets) The price to me wasn't the deciding factor but it's nice to know that I got the exact car that I've always wanted for almost 10 grand cheaper than the Z.

LOL I was about to get a 370z but they only had boring silver

I wanted that light blue they have or atleast white or black.

They couldnt do it in time so i got this. I kinda sometimes wish i had the Z cause of straight line where i feel the s2k lacks. but plenty of ppl told me they like my s2k better. and i do love the way it drives

I wouldn't trade my S2000 for anything. It is a pure joy to drive. Every spring when I roll it out, its like meeting for the first time and driving it off the dealer lot. Theres nothing like being able to drop the top whenever especially in the summer when we have sunlight 24 hours a day. I don't know much about the 370 but I did do a little recon when the Fairbanks dealer got one and from the looks of it, it looks to be a lot harder to work on than the S2k. From what I remember there was very little room under the hood. The manager of the dealer asked what he could do to get me to trade my "S" in for it. I told him I wouldn't ever sell my Honda.

s2000 for me personally. The body style of the 370z is starting to grow on me though and I would like to drive one to see what it can do. Good luck with your decision.
