S2000 or 350Z?

[waypastfast]

Ok, i am considering buying a summer car for play and light drifting. So my 2 options are Honda S2000 or Nissan 350Z both will be used, 2003 models. Let me know what you think. And to add a little fun to the mix, i plan on a future upgrade on both cars of either supercharger on the S2K and twin turbo kit on 350Z. ON that note which would you choose as well!

Add: 1998 Porsche Boxster to the mix!

Ahhhh TOUGH decision, i've driven the crap out of a s2k and been giving a crazy ride in a 350Z.. id probably take the twin turbo 350z.


goodluck!

I would personally take the s2k if you are using it for 'play and light drifting'
it lacks torque...but the sound of that car at 9000rpms sure as hell makes up for it!

350z drives like a mobile home go wit the s2k

everyone wants to be drifting.... lol


TT 350Z no questions about it only if it is TT tho

[andres_mt]

go with the 350Z if you are eventually going to put money into..stock 350Z's i can see not being as nimble or quick as a S2K but if you putting money into the car your buying go with the Z.

350z all the way. IMO cars with hardly any torque aren't much fun and the 3.5V6 has a hell of alot more modding potential than the S2000. The S2000 is also a slow car. I also don't like cars where the power comes on at 8000 or 9000 rpm, I guess some people like that but I can't see how thats fun. Just my 0.02.

S2000 all the way. Especially if you are going to supercharge it. Yeah you are going to lack in torque but its going to be worth it.

yup...plus the handling has a much lighter feel. I've driven both in the stock form and the S2K is a more fun car to drive. The Z350 although it has more power it feels like it weighs twice as much in comparison.

Depends on what you prefer: HP or HANDLING.

or in your case:

none of the above!!!

^ Well he is putting money into it, so an upgrade in suspension will probably satisfy the handling part.

Even with major suspension upgrades an s2k will walk a 350Z on a course. s2k supercharged, hondata, and tune.

doubt it

[andres_mt]

^ Well with the Z you get both after modding (handling and power), with the S2K you might get better handling in the end but for some just not enough power may be there to satisfy there needs. If your one of those guys thats doesn't care about having a lot of power or an excessive amount I should say, then I the S2K may be a better option.

Hey waypastfast how's the Speed Protege treating you. hope your taking care of it. I guess the new job must be going preety good huh. In case you forgot i'm the guy you bought the Mazda from.

no, no no...you misunderstand. That was directed at khtm.

[glennc]

s2000 handling is on another level compared to 350Z's. You could easily get 350 WHP out of an s2k with 3000 dollars in mods.

Mazda's great.......thanks for asking, just want something RWD now!

[andres_mt]

^ Yeah I know you posted just like a couple seconds before me. haha
