The removable hard top wasn't a popular option and may make it a bit of a collectable nowadays - ie, more expensive for no performance gain. Personally, I prefer the hard top but not enough that I'd pay a lot extra for it.

The S2K does get a little light above 120 MPH or so. Spoilers might be desirable if you plan on driving very fast. If you don't get much above the speed limit, they are just more drag.

Well the S2K isnt a very "fast" car in the first place, more of a quick, fun car. Unless you add a turbo then its fast haha. Same as the 350z.

I dont know if I can justify spending close to $30k on a 370z when I can get the honda for under half the price and have just as much fun.
