Persuade me to get the S2000...

I have narrowed my next car down to these two...

 

Wait for the 350z roadster than compare again. Be patient! Another 7-8 months.

 

Performance wise...which one is better...and overall

 

When all the orders are filled on the 350Z, you willl have a hard time figuring out which one is yours when in a parking lot. I see maybe 2 other S2000 a month.

 

ITS A NISSAN! I WOULDN'T TRUST THOSE CARS FOR ANYTHING!!!

 

Use the SEARCH function. Many threads already exist for this topic!

 

If you need to be persuaded to get the S2000, it's probably not the right car for you. For most people here, the car itself was persuasion enough. Nobody had to talk us into getting it.

 

Totally different cars.
Z: Coupe, stylish, moderatley luxurious, heavy, torquey, quick in a straight line, understeers like a pig. Great street car; not much to offer at the track.
S: Convertible, spartan, light, noisy, high-revving, powerful, balanced, "daringly neutral" handling. Fun on the street when top-down; truly shines at the track.

 

350Z - An interesting reconfiguration of an earlier design with a respectable set of performance stats. Expect to pay more than msrp for a while which imho = not worth the $.

S2000 - A ground up brand new design which has set the high water mark for suspension engineering and power output. Probably the best deal on the road for $32K.

 

Was one of the first 300zx buyers of the new '90 version- great car but lost it's value within 4 years(first time I thought about trade-in). The S2K was the first car to get me serious enough to sell my Z after 11 years - do not miss the Z at all. Do the S2K, I'm betting the newest Z will also lose its value and desirability in about the same time. Just my opinion, but I am entitled to it
