Default G35 Coupe or S2000 for a second car?

Hi looking to buy another car and these are the 2 choices that I have narrowed it down to. Yes, I have read the stickied thread about the S2000 with pros and cons but what would you pick if it was these 2 choices?
Btw, I'm currently a Nissan owner (Skyline R33 GTR), but have owned a Honda before and know what the engine is capable of. Aside from the HP and torque differences, what else should I consider in making my decision?

Oh, and here's my car:

tough call since the cars are sooo different. if you want a second car that it a convertible, then obviously the S2000, but coming from a Skyline, you may like the G35C performance chracteristics more since its sort of a Skyline derived car anyways. What are you looking for from your second car?

Man, you're loaded. I would say get the S2000. You already have a coupe capable of seating more than 1 other person. Get a car that you can take your lady around in. BTW, your car is BADASS!!!

I'd agree w/ Proj Dream... you've already got a sweet coupe. Get an S2K so you can drop the top!

Deez,

The two cars are as different as night and day. A buddy of mine just bought a G35 Coupe, and I think it's fantastic. Lots of torque, tons of luxury items on the inside, and it looks pretty damn sexy. Here are some pics:

It all depends on your needs. The S2000 is obviously an impractical roadster that's lots of fun to drive, whereas the G35 is a sports coupe that'll sit you in the lap of luxuy.

Me too.

I like the G35C, but I'm not exactly impressed with the interior. Looks kinda cheap, to me. But the exterior is fan-tabulous!
