Deciding between s2000 and 370z.

to me when people reference the 370 as being "all power" i just shake my head because although it does have some power behind its 3.7 liter v6, its a car whose repuatation is built more on the design, the heritage with handling exc....

as to the Mustang whose history is more geared for the "power" aspect. after all.... the mustang is referred to as "old school american muscle"

go with the 370. you wont be disappointed.

Its very hard to call a 1g car, all power unless that 1g can only be had in track conditions. The Z plays a dual role that most cars can't. It can handle as rugged on streets as it can on track and still maintain high "G's".
The S2k is a hot fkin car. Price to performance, its an excellent car. The S2k is a low horse race car in its purest form as is the miata. That's something the Z isn't, at least comparing the stock cars.
If I were buying a open top car? I would probably buy an S2k over a Z convertible. But I generally hate converibles and don't like 4 cylinder engines as a whole unless they are seriously turbo'd, so I drive a Z. That still doesn't take away the fact the S2k is one of the greatest JDM cars ever built.

Imho, the Z isn't one of the greatest JDM cars ever built its the runner up to the GT-R, which is the greatest JDM car ever built. When the Z gets DCT and 2 massive turbo's. It will then be the greatest in my book! Till then? The Z is second best and nothing Fks with the GT-R.

PS. Some of you expect too much from the "Z" forum, when it comes to objectivity. Its only natural that people will say the Z trumps all. Unless its the Ford Mustang. "The Mustang is, the Chuck Norris of the car world"
