Don't speculate till it actually happens....Magazines don't tell the whole story...

I saw a 350Z on the road today and I kinda like the looks of them. I can't believe I just said that.

 

Thanks to all for keeping the brand-centric jerk factor out of this thread. It's nice to read one where others believe that there just might be more than one nice car in the world.

 

agreed

 

I disagree. From my (albeit limited) experience I found the Z more difficult to drive fast than the S2000. It is just something about the clutch but it takes much longer to shift (the throws are everything they are made out to be though....wonderful). I didn't want to abuse the car since it wasn't mine but you (or I) just can't slam it into gear like the S2k. It as everyone else has said is most definately a drivers race. On that note the new Z is one of the best cars I have ever driven...words can't describe how well that car was made. I love my S2000 but this car really makes me want to check out the local Nissan dealership. For a base of $26k it is the best deal in automotive history.

wow

 

I think the Z car is nice too! Blue or White for me please!

I disagree.

 

For the love of God, please...no more 350Z vs. S2000 threads. At least THIS week. This place is starting to look like StangNet with the GT vs. S2000 weekly tirades.
I've seen some reported trap times for the Z less than 100 mph and 0-60 times in the high 5's but more importantly, such magazine racing needs to be banned from the net...automobiles this close will always come down to the driver's ability to maximize their platform; all other observations written as gospel should be printed and subsequently used as fishwrap.
It's nice to be excited about these newbie sporty offerings, but the Z shares more in common with the TT than it currently does with our convertible. Wait until the Nissan drop top comes out and then 3/4 of these threads will start to make sense.
It seems to be lost on Z fans that Nissan is actually BOASTING their 6-cylinder can keep pace with our 4? I think it's great they are so proud of that accomplishment, especially with 2 additional cylinders. Then again, the 'Stang boys are as well with four more.

Our title of standard bearer for high tech, afffordable, stylish import performance is still safe in my book.
