S2000 Talk Discussions related to the S2000, its ownership and enthusiasm for it.

Would this be considered road rage or animal instincts?

For some odd reason, while I'm driving and I come across a 350z, I feel like trouncing it. I don't know what's wrong with me. One minute I'm driving all happy, whistling, hell even listening to George Michael. Then as soon as I see a 350z, I get pissed for some reason and George Michael's voice starts sounding like something out of Pantera. Should I get some counseling or is this a natural instinct, like a dog chasing a cat?

Well, judging by how 350Z drivers act around me, I'd say they feel the same way about you.
Our cars seem to be natural enemies.

you guys should lay off... or be jealous...

I'll likely still have my car in 3-5 years(heck.. is't been 2.5 already)... they'll most likely either be paying out the a$$ in repairs costs, or have a new car by then..

Yeah, I guess your right. It's weird that these cars are natural enemies because they have so little in common.

I get really tickled about the 350Z vs S2000 threads! Ok, the cars are similar in performance. Each has it's advantages and disadvantages but as far as I'm concerned, they're not in the same league. It's apples and oranges.

My best friend has a 350Z roadster. I'm certain that after I get my S, there'll be some point in time when we have a little fun, but I couldn't care less if he's .5 seconds faster than me or the other way around. Actually, I'd expect him to take me for two reasons. 1) Everything thing I've read about the two cars has strongly suggested that the S2000 has to be very well driven to keep up with the Nissan. 2) My friend has a lot more experience driving cars of this caliper than I do. So, I'd expect him to wax my arse in an all out race because his car is a little easier to drive hard and he's most likely a better driver than I am anyway. And you know what? I don't care.

Drive Safe,
Steve R.

agreed. his early years with WHAM! had some pretty heavy stuff...

just think of how many fights "Wake me before you go go" caused in the mid-late 80's....

yea.. its natural.. the car food chain..

civics and integras try to race me.. but i dont even pay attention.. i would only race "equal" or preferably "better" cars on the road..

for some reason wrx's always seem to be blowing by me but the 350Z drivers dont seem to really care? but I wouldnt mind running against one.
