The Type S is only available in Japan. It has the CR's spoiler and soft top instead of hard top.

The Z is a better car, that's all there is to it.

I know for a FACT that the last year of production of the S2000 is 2003!!!!!
After that, it will be the S2200 under an assumed name.

I still dont see how our cars having a 2.0 engine matters. I always thought racing was who crossed the line first? I am gonna start braggin that my nitro car with a 2 inch tall motor produces about 1.3 hp I think it is a 1.2 cc motor. It might only go 60 miles per hour but it has a better hp to weight ratio.

From driving my friend Z over Xmas I have to agree that it is a great car. Revs almost as high as an AP2 and the low end torque is great. In my oppinion it is a great car. If you care about gas milage it gets around 15. Also the convertible version is hidious.

Love the S but the Z is a great car too.

First...


1. S2000 Type S (or CR) is a TRACK CAR, not a drag racer.

2. S2000 Type S is NOT a CR, it has the full soft top, with motors, hardware, etc...= (weight).

So look, I think we should say, "This apple should have a orange color like this california citrus but it doesn't, WTF?"

COME ON PEOPLE!

I was hoping that someone would notice that the 350Z isn't stock. The tachometer says "nismo". It's a tuned 350Z! HAHAHA Pay attention! The J's Racing/amuse/MUGEN S2000 would be a good match aganist it!

What is wrong with you posting all these 350Z threads... Obviously you are not an S2K lover, or an intelligent human being for that fact... lol Coming to a site like this and writing what you are writing... just silly and pointless...

I was going to get a 350Z roadster rather then the S. I give thanks every time I drive the S that I didn't get the Z.
If you want the fastest car on the road, DONT GET AN S2000!
If you give a damn about such things SELL the S2000. YOU MADE A MISTAKE!
If you want a dead sexy, high quality, honest, no bullshit 2 seat roadster, in the tradition of the sportscars of the past but with heaps of modern technology, power and handling, PLUS the undisputed best bang for the buck, in a high end roadster,,,get an S2000. It's probably the nicest car I will ever own..and I'm fine with that.

She's not the fastest car out there so GET OVER IT! She is definately an excellent choice in a 4 banger roadster though!

Why? Is Honda's primary goal, building an S2000 that will beat a 350Z around a track?

If honda put another 100 horsepower in Stewie, it wouldn't be Stewie anymore......and a alot of owners out there would have piled 'em up already.

These cars are both 2 seaters, and they're both from Japan.
The similarities end there.

If Honda decided to add another 100hp to the S2000, then there is no reason to buy the NSX.

My money is on the GEO

The aveo would win but the metro only has 3 cylinders. So the metro is better. You see how I just made fun of everyone using my silly logic. I am so funny.

I'd like to see both of them go through a crusher, see which one gets flatter faster.

I would like to release them to the wild and see which one last longer.

(the wild means a high school foot ball team.)

EXACTLY, as I always say, the S2000 isn't designed for an all-out-acceleration. I was just sharing a video! I wasn't degrading our car. I always rip and upload Best Motoring new video on YouTube, especially the ones that feature the S2000. Only this time, I brought it here and shared with you guys.

STOP FLAMING ME!

Not flaming you, bro......I might come down on you if you really needed it.....but not in this case.

But you're gonna get some opinions if you're gonna post stuff that might excite the locals......Darn Nissans.

Thanks for the videos. I enjoyed them, regardless of who crossed the finish line first.

corners and curves are a whole lot funner than drag racing, to me.

The 350Z is a cool car, but its quite a common sight on the roads around here. Novelty is good.

i agree, i too was once faced with the decision of a 350z or an s2000 but i didn't make the leaderless choice and got the s2000

BEST DECISION I EVER MADE!

I personally do not like 350 Z's at all. I love that everywhere you go you are garaunteed to see a 350z and how the rareness of seeing an S gives you those neck snapping looks from other motorist. That's what it's all about and a 350z owner will never have that.

Besides he had the top down and as someone has already said I ran a 14.00 in my stock 04 AP2.
