he owned it for a few months and got sick of its problems. yea it was fun and whatever but this thread isnt about that car, or how many cars youve beaten. i was just telling why the s2000 is not over rated and how it compares to the 350z in other aspects aside from lowend torque. to make the s2000 perform you have to rape the clutch.

2 of my friends got cars at around the same time. one got a z one got the s2000. my friend with the z sold it for an s4. 4 clutches later, my other friend still has his s2000 and loves it.

come on man all your experience comes from "your friends car, or your friends this" Do you really have personal experience other than your friends experiences? A shame anyway in my opinion the S2000 compared with other cars including mine is not worthy, but of course it just my opinion, after all I tested both. Peace.

dude i drove the z and it was cool but the s2000 is a different car entirely. im just going to tell him to post.

the z had problems from the factory. nothing to do with driving. im sure if i would have beaten the crap out of it i would have broken something... but i didnt need to. front suspension, syncros, throwout bearing. all withing the first 5k. this happened to A LOT of people in the Z community. it was a fun track car, but i got rid of it for a reason.

i have heard that a slightly modded S2000, is extremely nimble and somewhat quick, and for my car very hard to outrace, though it has been done. (reason being it weighs 2800lbs. as opposed to 3500+ with the same horsepower). I have yet to race one, and it will be awhile before i get the chance too ... Though my stand point is anything under 3000lbs. and made in Asia has no handling. I have good reason for this.

If the car doesn't give you any feeling at all then it's pretty useless as a supercar.

hey i can do 130mph and it feels slow,

Lancer Evolution.

It would destroy your car.

PS, search for "s2000 active aero".

[iroc-z89]

little hint i have seen minivans destroy my car

[wEstSide]

That minivan also ran a 10 second quarter mile.

you know what van i am taking about then, problem is their was another one that out ran an 87 Iroc(yellow) as well, but that car was an auto LB9 if not an L03.

Yeah if you say it it got to be true, now remember that the car came out that year. Usually new models need adjustments and a little bit of work. now to be honest I think that the car handles better and performs better than an S2000, about the weight they are right, the S2000 is under the 3000 lbs what could be a problem at the time of driving it because of lack of grip. Now my friend I have not have any problems so far with my 350 and I hope it stays like that, now I have heard of weight reductions done to the Z's of more than 500 lbs by removing some metal door panels, that come with the car for safety. That is a lot of weight off. Me personally did not feel the S2000, but that is my opinion. Usually when you go below 3000 lbs you will have those problems of handling, of course you will need to improve the suspension really good to solve them. Still I respect the S2000 as a good car but my friend give me a little bit more heavy car with a good suspension and decent power and I gaurante you, I will smoke Mr S2000 in the track, even with a nicely tuned Mustang, and that my friend is something that can be done with out sweating it to much. My humble opinion and taste. peace
