Don't feed the troll!!
With a name like "S2000's r weak", he's obviously here to stir up trouble. It's sad, because there's really no reason to go hatin' on other makes of cars, especially good cars, just because it's competition for your car (or "wanna have" car).

Steve, are you sure it's not a hate/hate relationship? Or possibly a love to hate relationship? When is the last time that you made a comment about the S2k that WASN'T negative? I would suspect that you were getting money from some auto manufacturer to de-value the S2000 on this site, but you never steer towards any one make, just anything other than an S2000.
Your wife not letting you sell the car that displeases you so may be a point of frustration for you, but please don't take it out on us

Just curious Steve....how could an S2000 be so displeasing? Is something wrong w/ it, or is it just not your type of car?

It's 88g on the Enthusiast Model Z and .92 stock S2k as shown in the latest Sport Compact Car. I have driven the new Z 6 speed and it drives sloppy compared to the s2k and quality-bah! In a roadster it will pig- bloat to around 3500 lbs! Some sports car! I can't wait to run one as it didn't feel as fast as an s2k. Big difference in sporty cars and sports cars to to the brainless out there who probably drives a Neon! I am sure you will dig the Z doorhandles-puke!

ok, i thought the stock s2k registered @.90g at the skidpad...
if you want to get that technical, look at the slalom speed, 70.2 vs. 68.8, wow there is one whole mph difference!!


i am not a troll, my father actually own a S2k and i drive it very much, who doesnt?
i do have a 350z touring 6mt on order coming in oct.(i hope) to replace my outgoing car right now.
i love both the cars and i am sure any real auto enthusiast have their own opinions, but please dont say "my car is better because it is lighter" or "my car has more torque" blah blah blah...
both cars have herritage to respect. the Z came out in the 70's aned pretty much kicked some ass because of the value...
the S came directly from a racing herritage from honda with all that technology and serving it up into a roadster that wants to be driven.

i, and many others, hate reading stipid bullsh*t about putting down other cars... but we cant avoid it... so try not to contribute..

o well, i got school tomorrow, and i just sounded like my dad there talking about cars

Agreed on that, on a pure performance standpoint, nothing beats the Z06 at the moment.

As much as I hate to admit it.....I have to third this motion

Remove every "my car can beat up your car" thread in these enthusiast forums and there would be little else to talk about other than "my CAI can beat up your CAI." Quoting endless statistics from automobile magazines and using that as criteria for deciding which car is right for an entire generation of prospective owners makes about as much sense as using one's Playstation's results in GT2 as a guide.

Hey guys check out the new Sport Compact Car. They have articles on both the 350Z and the S2000.

For the s2000 they test the stock vs. spoon sports N1 vs. comptech supercharged

They test everything from Wheel HP, times, track slalom, skidpad, all that stuff. Check it out very good issue.
