who gives a flying fvck about the 9000rpm. Its just a number. its the same thing with the RX8. which i have driven. NO BALLS!I wasn't complaining about the high performance clutch, that's always to be expected when driving a high performance sports car. BUT I have driven a pretty good share of sports cars with high performance clutches (as well as full on racing clutches too..) but MOST of them still were pretty light and not as much of a pain in the A$$ when driving at lower speeds. To each his own but I personally do not like the clutch set-up of the 350ZPaolo300zx wrote:TeggerR98 wrote:As an S2k owner, and having driven a 350Z several times.... I have to go with the S2k. I'll just rattle of some big differences to me that made me choose the S2k..
S2000
Pros:
WEIGHT:The number one thing is weight.... The 350Z is almost 500lbs heavier!!!! That's alot of weight, so the S2k feels much more nimble and the cornering speeds are incredible if put in the hands of a good driver.
VTEC: Yeh this car has a four-banger under the hood but it pushes close to 240hp and redlines at 9000 in the pre '04 models and at 8500 in the newer ones, and the engine really comes alive above 5500 rpms. Also the car comes with a LSD (350Z doesn't) and has TCS and ASM (350Z doesn't).
CHASSIS: Some may disagree, but even though the S2k is a roadster I feel the chassis is much more ridgid than the 350Z. The steering also feels much more direct than the 350Z
Cons
PRICE: The S2k is pretty expensive compared to the 350Z. The base price for the S2k is right at $34,000 ( just a little over $27,000 for the Z) and if leased the total cost of ownership for the S2k is $42,000!!!
INTERIOR: This is the only huge fault for the S2k, the interior is crap... in both comfort and quality. The seats sit very low you have to strain your neck just to see over the driver's side door when sitting in it. The dash is made from a pretty cheap leather and will fade very easily if not properly taken care of. Although the seats have held up so far and are in pretty good shape. With this being a roadster you would expect there being some cabin noise, but not this much. At over 75 it can sound like you have a window all the way down sometimes if the wind is blowing a little.
These are really my only complaints about the car itself...
350Z
Pros:
TORQUE- This thing is a lot of fun if you are in a safe place to play around; it's very easy to poweslide around corners. Driving this thing after driving the S2k really feels different because you aren't used to having this much power in the lower rpms.
INTERIOR- This car has a very warm and roomy feeling to it, not to mention it comes with a verrrry good stereo system that can really pump out the bass! The car has an optional Navi system and it works really well. The seats are much more comfortable and just has a higher quality feel to the whole thing.
COUPE- This is one thing I wish the S2k had. Don't get me wrong I love roadsters but if the S2k was offered in a coupe it would be the perfect car to me.
BRAKES- This car has an optional brembo package, and I must say these work really well. I've done a few laps in this car and the brakes delt with a great amount of abuse and there was practically no brakefade at all...
Cons:
WEIGHT- As I said before this is one heavy mofo. You can really tell when you get behind the wheel and try to take a corner for the first time. Suprisingly though, as heavy as it is and even with the big engine in it gets the same mpg as the S2k...
STEERING & CLUTCH- This is what I hated about the Z, the steering feels very detached and is quite heavy to me. The clutch is also pretty heavy and can be quite difficult to launch at first as it has a pretty grippy clutch.
Overall, the S2000 is more of a drivers car and if you want a roadster that can be your everyday driver this is the car. The 350Z is IMO a japanese muscle car. It's heavy, has a lot of horsepower under the hood, with a big V8 in the front, RWD, and no driver aids. The interior feels more of a luxury car and not a car that you think you could drive quick around a track...
You're complaining because the 350z has a high performance clutch? im not personally attacking you. but just because the clutch may be difficult for you to operate doesnt mean it is bad. Ive had no problems driving the G35 wich has the exact same transmition as the 350z right down to the shift knob. I dont think that is a con about the car. it is a pro. performance clutches belong on high performance cars. of course they are going to be harder to drive than the average car. thats why you buy them.
