Default 350z vs s2k high speed

The 350Z isn't freeway worthy compared to the S2k... experience on the 405 north 3:00 am

What are you trying to say? 350z is faster on freeway or the other way around?

Given the better aerodynamic, one would assume the 350Z a better freeway car...

Dropped the gear down to 3rd was rolling side by side and we both started hammering the gas and cleared all the gears to 6th and my stock S2k was going even all the way to about 130mph and the guy in the 350z eventually gave up because He wasn't pulling on me and I wasn't pulling on him.

The only thing is my S2k was handling way better than the 350z because he was all over the place and you could tell the car wasn't gripping properly to the pavement

If it was "going even all the way to..." how is it not worthy compared to the S?
