Still, even in comparison with the 6spd G35 coupe, the S2000 is much lighter than the G35. Also the gearing along with the higher redline gives the S a bit of edge over the G. I've driven the G35 and it requires more shifting in a 1/4 mi race taking away any advantage that the G35 has off the line. I still say it's mostly a drivers race with a slight advantage to the S.

Cool vid tekAP1.

Back on topic, I would never drag my S. Its just not meant for that. Watch the vid, that's what the S is more suited to.
