Deciding between s2000 and 370z.

You need to check them both out, and test drive both, and make the decision for yourself. most here are going to be biased of course. good luck

i currently own an 08 AP2 S2K and a 09 370Z. i think its safe to say that i am not as biased as other members around here on the forum.

I bought the 370Z first when it came out and it sorta wasnt what i wanted, so i decided to sell it and get an S2K. (this whole dilemma was going on last year august?)

Ever since, I have had both in my garage sorta wanting to sell the S2K (i barely drive it around) and keep the Z. Why? honestly the Z spoiled it for me with the low end torque. And it is also easier to live with. (more interior room, larger trunk.)

Do i regret getting the Z? Hell no.
Do i regret getting the S2K? not really.
At the age of 24, the S had everything that the Z was missing ,but in the end, the Z had alot more to offer than the S.

i didnt want to go into much details because you probably read alot of reviews about both cars. Just think about what you would really want. A raw sports car that looks outdated(personal preference) or a newly designed sports car with little amenities that you would appreciate for the next... 3-5 years.

Very good point. Only thing to differentiate the two right now would be the price.

Z being new will be more expensive, but it will have more up-to-date tech in it. Heck, S2000s don't even come with Nav as a factory option. haha

I'd still go with a S2000 tho'. It'd be nice to own both.

EDIT: To add a little more... I'd say S2000 is pure driver's car... whereas a Z34 is a all around nice/comfy/fast car.
