which car would you have???

[h_s]

im importing a vehicle from the states and have my selections narrowed down to three models, they are all in the 15-18000 US range. some with a little bit of work needed

2005 Ford Mustang gt
2000-2003 Honda S2000
2004 Nissan 350Z

im leaning more towards the s2000 considering how whored calgary streets are with 350z's and mustangs

[h_s]

btw: if you have one of these cars can you post your experiences with them??? good and bad... thanks

arian_ma brought in an s2k from the states, PM him.

[MrPid]

who cares what anybody else thinks...

All are nice - you'll know the right deal when you see it...

[euro_racer]

s2k ftw

[Honda_002]

^yup

[rc2002]

Out of the S2K and 350Z, I'd go with a 350Z. It's more practical.

I've never driven a mustang before so I'm not sure how that would stack up.

Hmm...no I don't think he did but I'm not 100% sure.

I own an S2000 so I'm a little biased. However, my decision was made between the S2000, 350z and RX-8. The best thing to do is to test drive all three for yourself.

I decided to go with the S2000 based on opinions from friends who work for Nissan and whom own a 350z , reviews from owners on forums and the good ol' test drive.

Word of warning though, the S has very little to none in terms of practicality. I can't imagine it being too comfortable for long roadtrips either lol.

However, I have yet to regret my decision one bit plus there's not too many females I've seen driving this car!!

S2000 w/o a thought!!!

2005 Mustang:

Specs
====
300HP
320 lb/ft Torque
1/4 Mile: 13.6 w/5spd Automatic (Motortrend)
0-60: 5.1 Sec (Motortrend)
200ft skidpad: 0.84g's (Motortrend)

Bad
===
Despite being a 4 seater my rear seats are virtually useless. (True for all Mustangs though)

With the Shaker 1000 Stereo upgrade I can only get one bag of golf clubs in the trunk (subs take up space). The other bag ends up on my back seat

Interior is full of cheap ass plastics but so is the 350Z and S2000.

Not the most confident at entering the corners. The back end really likes to come around but its easy to control with a little throttle.

Handles like ass in the winter without proper winter tires.

Good
====
Rides alot smoother than previous generation. Seats feel comfortable on long trips.

It hauls ass when you stand on the gas, lots of horsepower and torque.

Awesome retro-styled interior. Again huge upgrade over previous generation. Its simple, but effective. If you get the interior upgrade package you get the color changing guages like mine. 125 colors to choose from. Pretty nice touch.

Exterior styling is gorgeous in my opinion (obviously this is a pretty subjective thing)

Prepare to get the thumbs up from at least one person if not more every time you drive it. I am not even joking. Even though the styling was released back in 05. People are still taking notice. Which is kinda cool.

Price - Lots of bang for your buck. If you're buying used you can easily find a 2005 for <30K.

Endless performance and styling aftermarket if you plan to modify.

I've never once regretted my purchase. I only wish the snow would melt so I could take it for a spin right now

I'd personally go for the s2k but it would be a very hard choice between that and the 350z.

[TeamBestBud]

350Z

[trikypenguin]

350z

[jdm_eg6]

hey bro

Cross the stang out and keep it Asian! WOOT

Umm as for the S2k, and the 350Z. I enjoyed driven the S2k For sure! It was sick definatly fun, light, and a great lil ride that LOVES high RPM. 350z just seems like sucha sexy car, kinda like a supra or a skyline. It just has that heavy G feel but can easily be tossed arround and upgraded to make some great HP, let alone looks!

Good luck man, didnt know you were buyen a new car!!!! Parten your EG anytime soon? Haha

Good luck

[carter_prelude]

S2K if its going to be a weekend/fun/summer car

350z if its going to be a year round car and you might want to bring more than 1 friend with you.

Mustang?...hell no.

[Isaiah]

350 no question.

[guessboi]

S2K. that's my choice. since you can only fit 2 people comfortably for all 3 chocies.. unless you need to ride more people. perhaps RX8.

[DGill]

GT

350Z is a 2 seater too. If you're looking for a backseat, a G35C is a good choice.

[LuxCars]

definitely between the S2k and the 350Z...they whore up the streets for a reason.
