I definitely recommend test driving a S2000 if you can drive stick, you might change your mind over that 350Z.

smhyla, TEST DRIVE IT. you won't go back. OR, when i come back to CA, you can test drive on my clutch, cause it already needs replacing!

Haha, since I'm at 100,000 miles I gotta replace regardless. Also, S2000 is a pretty heavy clutch. Definitely not the best for 405 traffic.

I also just put on 100K miles (now 160K+ since I bought it used). My car has treated me well so far, but I want something different...

i think it comes down to the look. that's alway been my problem...i let performance take a back seat if I really like the way something looks.

I definitely agree, khaavren! Buy what you think looks good, no doubt! Plenty of nice roadsters out there...

I'd take the 350z over the S2000 if it's a daily driver. Pick the S2000 if you want it as a track day car...my 2 cents...

track day car is a car used on the weekends on a race track. S2000 has a pretty stiff suspension and the engine really needs to be in the high rpms to be exciting. You don't want either on a day-to-day basis. On the track however, it's great!

I want the 350Z. my roomie has the S2000, so I can't have the same car anyway. When I switch jobs, I'll give myself a gift...
