i ran an 05 the other night in my bone stock s2000, i weigh about 250 and my passenger does too (i know over the wieght limit blah blah blah) i would actually pull in the lower gears, he would only catch me when i shifted into fifth due to how slow it takes to get back up into the prime rpm range, he krept back up but never got ahead =)

without a passenger he was probably done....


i have the video....
Nice run's! Extra weight in the S make's a world of difference...

Even though the new G has more HP, I think it's actually slower then the 04's due to more weight...But no sloutch in it's own...nice!

Oh please.
My boy has a G35 its an automatic and it sucks ass for 280hp, yeah it sounds cool, but TO ME its a babied version of a z, im sure you cought the best motoring vid w/ the s2k handing the "skyline" its ass. im just not a nissan fan, so yes, this hating if very called for
Go back and watch the BM race again. The "skyline" got its ass handed to it because it was held back for over half the race by Gan-San. Why are we comparing automatic G35s to 6mt S2000s all of a sudden? Sounds like fan boys talking to me.



people need to admit it's a driver's race between the two.

If a 350Z would lose to S2k then how would a 4 passenger fair ??
Still nice car ...but hard to have a Sporty AND Family car all in one .. unless your able to buy a M5 or E55 ..
Plus i think people make way to much out of people's posts.. you cant make the tone of your voice felt in type ..

350z and s2k is a drivers race with a slight advantage to the S in gears 1-3 and a decent advantage to the Z 4-6.....Manual vs manual

G35 is not far off, guess you should do some searching before you make ridiculous statements on your first day on the boards....

Funny, cause my experience with 350z's they all ended up seeing my tailights...even when we took it up to 145! I guess your just the world's most "special" driver...
