g35 vs s2000 compare

[ueyedgr8tness]

ok where u owners and none owners i tried to find a thread was done awhile back but couldn't find it, if u was to buy 1 which 1 would u get and why? also handling and power on the s2000 vs 350z.and which 1 will be overall the best bang for the buck.


talk to me:cheers:

[j0nbunklah0m]

i like both. but i prefer backseats

[antiv6]

id rather have a g35 but s2000s are cool, you cant go wrong with either. If you want it for performance s2000 is the obvious choice.

[RL...]

s2k is faster

both look great

g35 is more upscale/luxury/nicer inside and out

I would get a g, but why don't you go to a couple car dealerships, test drive them, and find out for yourself?:thinking:

[dtmcnamara]

G35 has more plastic inside that falls apart/falls off/paint chips/just looks like crap. S200 just dosent have anything inside.

The g35 also is in a class completely different that the s2000. The 350z would be more comparable, but then once again you have a TON of plastic. To each their own, I picked the s2000 for reliability, the look, and of course....VTEC ALL THE WAY TO 9000!!!!!!

[tony]

I'm pretty experienced with the G35 and only driven an S2K once. If you like to drive a lot and comfort is a concern, the G isn't the most comfortable but it surpasses the S2K. If you're a pure driving enthusiast and care more about the driving experience go for the S2K cause the G is fun, but not S2K fun. It all depends on what you are looking for.

My first G, very unreliable but then again I did a ton of modding. This 2nd one, 80k+ miles without an issue and they're pretty easy to maintain yourself. (And no plastic parts that fall apart) A lot of the mods for the 350Z crosses over to the G35 and the potential for more power I would say goes to the G.

Should you decide to go the twin turbo route, the thing is a monster and responds very well to boost. A drop, some aggressive wheels and you have an amazing looking car.

[mocha latte cupcake]

having a S2k... i WANT to love the 350z and G35 coupe, but i just can't. they are different cars.

S2k - convertible, 9k rpm, VTAK, and great handling from the factory
cons: Small interior (not good for longer trips) torque is none existent(sp?), they respond decent to NA mod, but AP1's get that awesome snap oversteer.

350z - torque, a heavier more "solid" feel on the road, nicer seats (imo) backseat...sorta. more interior room and trunk space.
cons: heavy as a fat bitch in a mcdonalds drive thru line for the 3rd day in a row, factory handling is weak sos. (i'm yet to drive one i like, but coilovers seem to fix it from what i hear)

i am a die hard nissan fan but i haven't been able to bring myself to actually buy one (even though they were cheaper than the S2k) they do feel... "slower" than the S2k, but that i will attribute to her dunka booty. NA they both suck on power (unless you get a AP2 _I/H/E/Hondata_ ~~vs~~ REV UP 350z.

i'm having a hard time replacing my AP1. I love the car, it handles nicely, was fairly quick when i had her all modded. but i need something i can travel in a bit nicer.

[nsany(atl)]

I have owned both, the G is a more forgiving car on the race track, but if you know how to hustle a car like a go kart and leave the a$$ end out you can make the S2000 faster.

The G has more room and is more comfortable. Taking trips in a S2000 sucks, you and significant other can only pack a backpack full of clothes for the trip, and it's loud on the highway.

S2k does get better gas mileage.

S2k's eat up tires.

If you park outside, S2K's suck in the winter.

S2k OEM radio blows donky di@%

Both car's accept mods well and have a strong aftermarket.

S2k's have to have the valves adjusted every 30K and is an expensive service at the dealer

thats all i can think of for now

[Elbow]

The S2K looks better, drives better, handles better, sounds better, more reliable, lighter, sportier.

The G35 has more room.

[SandM]

I chose, would choose, the S2000 because of the sportier feeling and the all around performance aspect. It may not have the torque that the G35 has, but once you get that little bitch moving, she goes.
Daily driving is a loss because of the soft top in winter (needs hardtop), less torque for city driving, not too much room, and only one of these things actually bothers me.

[xxbckiexx]

if back seats isn't a concern and you don't plan on boosting the car and spending lots of money on it, go with a 350z. Best bang for your buck at this point in time, especially since they've dropped so much in price with the 370 out. s2k is good if you want a cute little girly car, or you want to boost it without spending too much on the motor and get some great gains. On a side note, don't listen to anything simon has to say, his heads in his ass, and he would prefer a miata over any car.

S2k ftw

I agree with this post 100%

[ATK_Designs]

Why not get both? Both are different cars anyways. I own a G35 and it's NOT the best handling car, comparing to S2K. But response VERY WELL to suspension mods.

S2000 is straight out the box OEM handle better than the OEM G35.

That being said, I'd prefer the 350z as a DD instead of the S2K. Gotta love that torque. Z&G parts are interchangeable and the Z handles quite good, being stock.

lol, I've driven both. You're quite mistaken about a couple things though. Best bang for the buck right now is to pick up an AP1. They are more reliable and less expensive than the early model 350Z.
As for the S2000 being a cute girly car?? I'll not knock your opinion.
But it's very simple.... DD buy a G35, for a toy that you'll drive occasionally buy an S2000.
And Simon is pretty much right about his opinions about the S2k, which has no relation to his Miata love.

Thats all folks!!!!!!!!!!!:goodjob:

[ueyedgr8tness]

thanks guy's and i am glad every 1 commented about the 350z because that was another choice that i forgot to add lol!! I sold my other car and i am waiting for my court shi* to go through to make sure i still have license before i go get another car,I am pretty much getting 1 for mtn runs and a dd.And i don't want payments and all 3 cars are affordable now without spending alot of $ so thats a +

[JITB]

too many un biased opinions...lol especially the guy that used to own the brembo less 2001 nismo 350z..


But anyway.. i feel the same about both. Im not too favorable to either one.

s2000 is small inside, and isnt a very comfortable car on long trips, and in GA we drive alot..ask jm about his road trips from sc to ga..lol. But depending on your size. but iots not made to be big, its made to be a sports roadster and perform.

G35 is a luxury sport sedan. meaning it has all the extras plus more. And has the extra space, and comfort to have a passenger without being on top of each other.

They both have crazy aftermarket, so thats a tie for both.
As far as a performer the s2k was built to perform, so im sure stock v stock it will out perform the G.
Looks? its all opinion..

bang for the buck they both cost about the same.. A good G for 14-15k, and s2k about 12-13k. But as far as what you get.. you do get more with the G35, as far as options and extras and comfort.

And reliability is all up to the previous care of the car. SO its up in the air. Truthfully i would trust the honda on the reliability part. But the Vq is a very reliable motor itself, but i have heard the later versions of the vq are better than the older ones...

Its a toss up to me, but if it was my decision. it would be G35.. because im tall..and being comfortable is soo important, and it goes along way for me. And the s2k has kind of tuned into a different type of car.. within the years. G35 is still mature!

[5speed]

I love both but wouldn't compare them. Wade Davis of Tallapoosa has a TT G35 for a DD and track car. He first boosted it back in 05 or so and it is still running strong with over 500hp. It would be my choice for a DD but not if I were to use it on track. In that case I would go with the S2000... or a new MX-5

[eYezs1ck]

okay. ive own both in the past 6months and this is what i have to say.

s2000: ive always been a honda guy and s2k is nice shifts so well top down ladies love it. its very small but its something i can bare with im only 5'8 160lbs. gas was pretty good low 20s in city. very fun to drive

g35 coupe: i have 6spd MT very luxury heated seats ftw during winter. navi =). doesnt drive like a fackin honda. pretty horrible on gas i fill up 1/2 every 3 days dont drive that much. doesnt handle as well as an s2

both in common: chick magnet. i think i would go back to an ap2

common

[ueyedgr8tness]

^ i am not tall but i am big and i am starting to think the s2000 might wear on me in and out of it 24/7 but not really sure.I drove 1 back when i was 180 and i got in it ok and the way it handle was priceless but i weigh in around 245 now so my body has changed alot not sure it would be as confy as once before..

[5speed]

I say get in better shape, its worth it!

thats all i can think of for now

I have to disagree with you on a few points here. Your use of hyperbole is less than welcome in a thread where honest and fair observations are requested.

First off, valve adjustment is recommended every 90K miles for an S2000. NOT 30K. Sounds like someone took you for a nice ride with that service. Certain older models required it earlier, but for the S2000 that just isn't true.

Secondly- S2000s can be modified, but they don't respond nearly as well to modifications as a G35/350Z would. The only meaningful mod one can do to add power to an S2000 is going FI. Things like exhaust/intake are only done on S2000s for show and sound. In a lot of cases, I am sure modifying these parts would even cause a driver to lose and not gain power.

Not sure what you mean by S2000s eating up tires. That would depend largely on your individual tire selection and driving habits. I have had fronts that lasted more than 40K miles and rears to last about 30k. In fact, I remember the earliest 350Zs and G35s having TSB issues to address alignment specs and tire wear. If you are addressing the fact that the S2000 has a staggered setup from the factory, it is the same way for all three vehicles.

Again, not sure what you mean by the S2000 "sucking" when you have to park it outside in the winter. Perhaps you could clarify that point before I discuss it further.

You are right on a couple of examples- the car is noisy. It has virtually zero sound deadening material installed. This means you hear just about everything going on outside of the car. Add a soft top to that, and it means it is even more noisy.

Not all S2000's radios suck. Sure, with 00-01 models, there were only 2 speakers total in the cabin, so sound was always an issue. Things got better over time. 06+ cars had speakers and individual mount tweeters in the doors as well as 2 speakers in each rollbar.

Not sure what you were carrying in your trunk, but you can certainly pack more than a single backpack full of items for a trip. Sure, it is not as cavernous as a G35's trunk, it isn't that bad.

Overall- S2000 is a more performance oriented and no frills car. No navigation. No heated seats. No fancy sound system. It is more hardcore and less compromising than a G35 coupe. The interior is spartan and simple. It will outperform a G35 coupe on a track and it will just generally outhandle it as well. The car is much lighter than the other.

The Infiniti is a luxury coupe. It is packed with features, even in its basic form, that outstrip the S2000. It is more quiet and more comfortable than the S2000 will ever hope to be. It is still reasonably reliable and requires less effort to get power when driving casually. The S2000 really needs to be ringed out and driven to dizzying RPMs to get notable power.

The cars are different. Very different.

[Sunkenkarma]

Id prefer the G35, 350z then S2k... But all in all you should definatly think about a IS300, the earlier ones, like 2002's.

i just got the wife a 04 is300 so i am not looking to go that route:no:

[cdhtang]

If it is a daily drive, I would get a G because it is comfortable, the room space, and I always love that exhaust tone it has. One of my friend used to own a s2k, and i always have to give him a ride, just because he can't fit something in his car. Also, the s2k is loud, engine and road noise, I just can't take it everyday. If it comes to weekend/fun car, S2k. I love top down, the 9k ap1 rpm.
Look, if its done right, they both can look good. Maintenance, depends on the owners, but heard more problems for the G. When getting used s2k, check compression, saw quiet a few with messed up compressions.

[DirtyMechanic]

Ha, everything I was thinking but too lazy to type out. Yes, a lot of times the power goes backwards instead of forward with exhaust "mods". Reps!:goodjob:

Well, obviously that would be done with most cars making that kind of power and driven that much. The stock block itself I hear can handle a good bit though, very FI friendly.

[DirtyMechanic]

yes they do love boost. but stock blocks are really only reliable to about 400whp and then reliablity drops and drops very quick after 430whp. but i do know the new 3.5 hr 350 and the new 3.7 can handle 500whp very nicely and love boost even more. then the older DE and REV-UP motors.

Yep, I love them. I would like to have the last year G35. G37 are very nice but I kinda like the 35 headlights more. But then again, the stock hp gains from the 37 are well worth it. And more displacement makes for more torque :rolleyes:

[RL...]

If I were a midget I would consider getting an s2k...lol

seriously though I test drove one and felt extremely crampt...they handle nicely though...and brake equally good

[5speed]

I am about 6'2 and didnt have a problem with fitment surprisingly.

[SandM]

if you're looking for a moutain/fun/dd car, buy the g35 or 350z and do some suspension mods. that will probably be your best bet..... I dd my S, but i am not one that craves creature comforts.

oh yea, most s2000 mods are done for weight saving purposes. an aftermarket exhaust may only gain miniscule horsepower, but a good single can lose you around 40 lbs without going titanium which could lose you about 50 or so lbs.

and the convertible sucks in winter because of the heatloss from a canvas top instead of a conventional metal top with headliner.

[G.C]

The S2K looks better, drives better, handles better, sounds better, more reliable, lighter, sportier.

The G35 has more room.

Lmao. Really. I'm sorry but i have beaten a s2k in my G35 by a car or 2 from dig and 50kick. Of course no twisties, cause i know they will rape the G. Also G sounds way better. Go get your ear checked up. and reliable? Dude shutup man you have no idea what your taling about. Looks, i think G looks better in stock, but those s2k with hard tops are so sexy. :)

I have no say in s2k cause i've never driven one, but i can say about what i have driven. And its the g35.

Interior is pretty nice(no, i have yet to see some plastic fly off or break on my car), everything seems solid inside. It has good sound system, a lot of features, and gas isn't that bad. got 26mpg last time i pumped. (shell gas fyi) .

Performance wise, it's not all that bad. It handles pretty good, has good amount of tq, and it runs smooth. Don't know why people say g35 are not reliable.. Every car breaks down, it just depends on the owner who maintained the vehicle and how they drove it.
My G has never broke down on me, so i can say its pretty reliable.

Overall, i love the G, its reliable, some what fast, comfortable, has somewhat of room inside, audio is great and it looks great.

If your choosing which to buy like i was couple months ago, test drive both cars. Your answer will come up. G.l

Thing is you have to consider your driving style, look at what it took for the S2K to run like that, you'd have to wring out the S2K. In my daily commute I just punch it a and the torque puts a smile on my face and I'm nowhere near redline.

[G.C]

That's 04 6spd G35 Coupe. Which has non rev up motor.

Which has 3.5 L 190 kW (280 hp) V6.

Put the rev up 6spd against the stock s2k. With no camera man in the G.

Which has 3.5 L 222 kW (298 hp) V6

[SandM]

i've always considered the s2k v g35 stockers to be a close race. But, we were talking about a race not cruising from 50. The revup motor was a good addition to the platform and made the car a good bit better.
that is also why i said the g35 would be a better choice for a DD. less throttle for suberban driving. its also why i tell people that are looking at s2k's and want a city car to get an AP2 because they have that extra torque for suburban driving.

g actually wins stock v stock.. i've done a 60 roll in my s2k (ap1) vs a g on 316 heading out to athens.... we ran 3 times... he won by a car the first run, half a car the second and the 3rd was on a slight downhill and he lost by half a car. honestly i/e and a tune will change the tide for the s2k though.

Which has 3.5 L 222 kW (298 hp) V6 those rev-ups have 10 less tq factory rating. and after driving both DE and Rev-Ups for a living. the Rev-Ups feels much slower with that less tq.

yes i know after playing with friends that have stock or mostly stock S2Ks i would have to agree stock for stock it would probably come down to driver. and if either one had more mods over the other. that one would probably some out ahead. but not by much. then again even if that. still might come down to driver then.

I'd get a s2000. 350's are ugly, heavy, slow, chick cars. Gay

:rolleyes:


Just go test drive them both, fool. Z = 3200lbs, s2k = 2900lbs. Anyone who says the Z is omgsohavy doesn't have their facts straight. They're both great cars, I can't fault either. I was going to get a s2000 until I drove the Z and liked the torque more so I got that. I don't think I'd be disappointed either way, both have too many pluses

Why does everyone think 3200lbs is so much weight? If it has the power then the weight really shouldnt matter at that point. Once it gets over 100lbs heavier than that then it just tips the scale for me. I love my torque so I would go with a G35. I just like to have a good bit of power from bottom to top.

because its not a 2700 240 or 2400 civic.

Yet, alot of them (atleast in the past, IDK what the "new" shit with Civics are cool these days) will strip the window motors and shit just to reduce weight in order to break 12-13. WTF?

ilu mike, but you're not stock
yes i am.... im still have my stock ECU

[seanrg1116]

s2k is faster




wtf.......................no way maybe on a road course but thats still prob not accurate.

a s2k is a good track car but if outright speed is ur thing the s2k is a far cry from a fast or even quick car.

a g35 is faster but still lacking in power

both have great mod potential


i would get the g35 more room and more comfort and still faster

[G.C]

I have driven non rev up before. I can tell you it did feel slower than the rev.up.

Also, mod way, there's not that much you can do for s2k besides FI.

There's not that much you can do with G35 too, but there's more you can do to get power than s2k. MD MREV2=15whp minimum. Dono how much exhaust and intake gives, (i highly doubt it gives more than 1-10 to the wheels)

It's a difference, but under normal driving circumstances wouldn't be noticeable... like 15hp difference?

15 is way way to high for the spacers. you might see a 8whp peak but the power band wont drop like a sky slope after 5500rpm. i have before and after of my crawford plenum with out taking the car off the dyno. ill scan the dyno for you...

MREV is the spacer plus lower collector. the torque from this mod is actually noticeable in the butt dyno...

butt dyno tells me rev-ups are slow.




also here is the two dynos of the before crawford plenum

the before plenum was the highest dyno we got. took 8 runs to peak out. normal for a VQ never produces the highest hp the first run.

the after plenum was the highest after the plunem. took 10 runs to get it that high. first 3 runs were lower than before runs because the ecu didnt know what to do with the extra plenum volume.

[Psw Jdm]

i like both. but i prefer backseats

u gay

u gay

Think your the gay one when your driving a s2k with the top laid back with another guy next to you with some stunner shades.

[G.C]

I want to see a dyno of MD spacer+MREV2. All their dyno on their website show some good amount of increase.

[VIP Style]

Well I have driven both, and I felt that the G35 was just better all around. more comfortable, feels good, pretty decent handling. Not to take anything from a s2k, but I just dont see what all the hype is about the s2k, im not too impressed by them.

[00 blk G20t]

^Ive driven both also and the G is the nicer car.....i mean come on guys.....we are talking v6 vs. 4cyl......the s2000 makes great power with its 4cyl.....it IS faster than Z/G........but its not without its enemys that beat it by just as much as it beats the G/Zs....evos and STI.....cars you will soon hate if you buy the s2k.....

s2k will also get alot more looks from your friendly neighborhood spiderman....the G can just cruise by at crazy speeds and cops dont give them a second look cause every house mom in ATL has a G35. cops dont really like giving tickets to rich women....they prefer to spend that extra time and get a emo street racer in the honda....IDK man lots of things to consider.....if i had the money to buy one of the 3 i dont know what route i would go.....its really that close of a call.....just buy a car and enjoy it for what it is...not because its faster than this car or that car......

you really should keep your opinions to yourself. because i have a G and cops dont exactly look the other way. you have to be stupid to think otherwise. speeding is speeding. then again cant expect much from a stupid kid.

no.... maybe.... no.... only because now some ricers can afford them...

[DamnDisLaOsBoY]

I own a S2000 and my GF owns a G35.

- S2000 is cheaper to fix/service.
- S2000 is still more of an import.
- G35 for backseats,heated/powered seats, bose system, etc.
- G35 6cyl is a smooth ride.
- S2000 has less kick to the rear (fish tail)
- G35 got traction control (AP2 s2000 has it as well)
- Convertibles pulls more girls. lol
- G35, dont have to worry about anyone slashing your roof to steal your damn seats!!!
- S2000 cheaper to mod.

Thats about all i can come up with for now. I love my S2000 but sometimes i would wish for a little more room, so i drive my GF's G35 then. I Rather get a G35 tho bc its more of a sport and luxury. Can look good and can go fast. When i was buying my S2000 i woulda bought a G35 if my gf didnt have one. I would still choose it over my S2K.

[stormcrow]

no.... maybe.... no.... only because now some ricers can afford them...

You should really just stop talking now. S2000s don't have 4 cylinders? :screwy:
Have you been smoking and or drinking? Or are you normally this clueless?

[BeyondaGrave]

I've owned both an 00 AP1 and an 04 Enthusiast. As far as looks go its pretty much personal preference. They both look good if you dont over do it. Comfort wise goes G35/350z>S2k Speed wise the s2k will beat 350/G35, but not by a freaking mile. My s2k was an 00 and the oem radio sucks compared the Z/G. They're all are very reliable and have lots of performance parts. If you plan on boosting go Z/G35 :) Forged Performance are the best with VQ's and are local. Personally I would get a 2007/2008 Z (VQHR Revs up to 7500ish RPM). The exhaust sounds on those VQ's are so damn sexy. The new 370Z does have an upgraded bad ass 3.7L, but its ugly IMO compared to the older models. The new S2k's didn't change that much. The CR is bad ass, but so is the NISMO.

[VIP Style]

lol uh ok:thinking:
People who have no driving ability usually aren't..

[VIP Style]

lol i know right, but anyway, the g35 is a much better car IMO because it mixes different elements(sport/luxury) in a appealing way. the s2k is just not all that hot to me, and I could tell just from pushing one to south carolina for one weekend that I would grow tired of it.

No I've driven it on the back roads around, compared to other cars I've driven and the hype I was disappointed. It's personal preference, it's not even a top ten impressive car.

There's your problem. Back roads for the GT-R are like "touch & go(s)" for an F-22 Raptor. :) If you ever get to experience one on a track, you will be impressed. This is where it shines.

I don't drive mine to its ability. I have taken it to the north GA mountains and could not even push the car to its limits. It was bitter-sweet as I was impressed with the GT-R's abilities, but I, as the driver, was seemingly not even needed. The car practically drove itself. Honestly, there was a bit of a disconnect there. Where I had to really worry about oversteer in my 600whp 350Z...I didn't even have to think about what the GT-R was going to do. But, on the track, where the car can be brutalized, if you are left unimpressed, then I promise there is no vehicle that will give you satisfaction.

I've driven cars on the track I KNOW would KILL the GTR in speed and satisfaction lol.

One reason I don't like the GTR and most I know who have them don't like them is the fact the do drive themselves in a sense. I like real dealing with oversteer or fixing understeer, etc.

I enjoy the connection with the car, as well. This is the reason why I stated that the North GA mountains can't push the car to my satisfaction. But, that is my fault. If I would take her to the track, I would enjoy her much more.

Please do tell me which cars you have driven that would "KILL" the GT-R on the track? There are very few that are capable of such...and these have to be very highly modified. Again, I said OEM vs. OEM. I promise you can't name a car that would "KILL" the GT-R on the track that is an OEM production car. :)

As for your friend...I bet the reason he doesn't track his GT-R is two-fold. 1) the cost of doing so is ridiculous as far as maintenance goes. And unless he has a hook-up with a shop that performs aftermarket GT-R work, then he is reliant upon a Nissan dealership...which means, of course, big $$$...or... 2) he doesn't want to damage his GT-R.

btw, what is the name of your friend? I know pretty much all GT-R owners in the Atlanta area and I know plenty around the world from NAGTROC. We are a tight-knit community.

I'm not speaking of OEM but 911-GT3 Cup, Radical, etc. Actual track cars. I am willing to bet though many could outrun a GTR in a ZR1, ACR Viper, GT3RS, etc. With the right drivers, I work almost every event at Road Atlanta and see tons of GTR's on track, with much faster cars passing them. It's all driver skill and from the looks it takes confidence to trust the GTR's electronic aids. The GTR's specs and reviews sound great, but in the real world they don't always stack up.

His name is Jonathon I don't want to mention last names for obvious reasons especially on IA lol.

He's tracked it a few times and just said it's not fun, cost definitely isn't an issue for him, as it shouldn't be to anyone who buys an expensive car.

Lets run your car at the track, I will be the instructor and let me do a few laps.:goodjob:

I agree it is about driver skill. But, the GT-R is a tool and gives any driver better equipment to work with than (again) any other factory produced car. Put the same driver in the ACR, ZR1, GT3RS, or any other limited production car as the GT-R and the driver will turn better lap times in the GT-R. The cars you see getting passed are owners like myself who are out there to have fun...not pushing their cars...and are just enjoying the track.

Tune up a GT-R like Forged Performance, GOTO Racing, and Fontana Nissan have done and put a professional driver in them (nothing against Sharif's, Bobby's or Mike's driving skills) with Hoosiers strapped on and you have some of the best lap times at any track. Heck, Sharif has the second fastest lap time ever (beat only by .01 second) at Little Talladega. GOTO Racing's unlimited Time Attack GT-R posted the fastest top speed at Auto Club Speedway and, as far as lap times are concerned, was right on the heels of the AMS unlimited EVO and FX unlimited NSX. And both of those cars are Frankensteins designed and built for nothing but chewing up the track. No expense spared and longevity isn't a consideration.

The GT-R has not only proven itself in this arena, but all of them are still using the factory GR6 transmission and stock block VR38DETT. If you aren't impressed by this, then, again, there is not much that can impress you.

Jonathon...Super Silver, right? If not, I don't think I know him.

As far as me putting mine on the track...I am contemplating this as I have been told numerous times that I will never truly enjoy the car until I do. And I am beginning to believe these people. The only caveat is that I have an addictive personality and I already spend very little time with other hobbies as it is. *haha*

It's a quick car yes, but you're holding the standards too high for it. :goodjob: I've seen pro drivers run in a GTR then in say a ZR1 and the ZR1 was faster. The GTR does have lots of electronic gizmos, that's what I and many others dislike about the car, I personally drive better then a GTR's computer. ;)

You dislike technology? Ok. But, if you knew anything about the GT-R, you would know that those "gizmos" are actually a detriment when trying to make the car fast. With the GT-R, the days of typical power-adders are over.

Debating racing the GT-R with someone who doesn't even understand the technology is boring.

When you run better lap times than Sharif Abdelbasset, Brian Lock or Mike Cronnin, Jr. let me know. :)

simon, like a lot of people i know, including myself, don't like the added technology because these additions take away from the driver connection to a car. not saying that these don't help the car go faster, because it's true... but they make the car go faster than you know how to drive it because every little move has already been calculated out for you.

I've done faster times in cars then any new GTR at Road Atlanta, obviosuly the cars weren't stock and I haven't driven a stock car out there that is comparable to the GTR.

I clearly understand the technology behind it, but I don't like it, there is too much. It changes the way I drive cars.

Don't be close minded just because you own a GTR, I don't know any GTR owners who really LOVE the car and most are selling theirs for something more worthy.

I probably should just ignore this post, but I can't. You are the idiot that said that S2000s don't have 4 cylinders.
As far as the research goes, I don't need to do it. I have owned an AP1 and I have an AP2 sitting outside right now.
Again, you should stop talking now.

You should go fuck yourself:lmfao: I own this and this AND. I made a mistake and corrected myself.

Arguing with simon about cars is like arguing with a 5 year old about pokemon cards. He knows "everything" about all cars, and has or knows someone that has "every car". He has driven "every car" and is only impressed by cars that do not have a JDM badge attached, unless of course it's a miata.

LOL, I have thought of that one myself. I am not gonna say Simon is lying but I will say I want some Video or proof of Lap times at Road A. I always heard that he were a great driver...but only coming from him. No one else has ever backed him up on that one. Just curious to see where this goes.

this is true...to a point. i have already mentioned my disconnect with the GT-R vs. the heavily modified 350Z that i had... but, this doesn't discount the fact that there are a lot of myths about the technology in the GT-R and what it does for a driver, as well as, the lack of knowledge about how the technology actually hinders a driver when they truly want to make the car a track monster and divert from stock.

i don't think myself close-minded at all... quite the contrary. i have posted my truest of feelings about the GT-R and its capabilities.

btw, proof of these times would be nice. :)

i am beginning to see this. :) it is true that most people hate what the GT-R has accomplished and the green-eyed monster tends to rear its ugly head when speaking of the car...especially from those whom are European or American Muscle fanbois.

Why is it wrong if a porsche race car can't beat a GTR? The GTR was made to outshine porsche.. so it'd actually be the other way around, it'd be wrong if the GTR didn't beat the porsche you trifling dolt.

woo woo woo there is a big difference betweent a gtr and a porsche race car. you cant compare a street car to a race car. now if he was talking about sat a gt3 gt2 or turbo 911 then i would hope they would be close and most likely up to the driver alone. but not a race car to a street car.


yes i know the gt-r was made to beat the porsche porsche turbo around the ring not a porsche race car.... :goodjob:

Um a stock GTR shouldn't beat a GT3 Cup car.

For instance a GT3 Cup car runs 1:26's or so at Road Atlanta.

The fastest time attack track record for NASA at Road Atlanta is a 1:25...it's a Radical...no GTR on the list.

You're comparing a full slick tired race car to a street car. A GTR was meant to beat a 911 turbo, which it did, that's not what we're comparing.

you've completely missed the entire point of his argument. it's like you just looked at the screen, drooled, and then started typing the same shit you've typed 15 times without taking into account anything he's said. NO GOD DAMN SHIT there's cars on the fucking track that can BEAT A GTR. ACR VIPER, ZR1 vette (with the right driver). The list goes on. If you don't like a car, you immediately discount it's credibility of being something that it really is. oh, well an ACR $110,000 vehicle can beat a $60,000 NISSAN GTR, so the GTR is mclame bro. It's not even good, it only set record times at the ring, i mean, my miata can do that. Brah, i wasn't even impressed with the 500+ hp and the fact that it breaks necks around curves. Jeremy clarkson of all people THREW OUT HIS NECK driving a GTR because it hugged so well. Yes the guy exaggerates, but for good reason. He HATES nissan and he gave props to nissan for making an amazing machine. So has the rest of the automotive industry EXCEPT of course porsche, who called shenanigans, because THEY couldn't produce the same time around the ring that everyone else could. Take your fist, out of your ass, and put it in your mouth. No one cares about your biased, malinformed shit eating dick breath theories/opinions.

YEA THE FERRARI SCUDERIA IS BAD ASS, BUT THERE'S CARS THAT BEAT IT, SO IT'S A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY, I MEAN, FUCKIN FERRARI ,WHAT WERE THEY THINKING CHARGING 400K FOR THAT? I COULD RACE OUT A HONDA AND MAKE IT JUST AS FAST ON THE TRACK.

You just said a lot of what I said and the GTR owner disagreed with. You're a fucking idiot. You don't read what people are even talking about you just jump in a conversation or quote my replies to other people. Go e-thug another section, tubby.

BTW if you believe Clarkson really threw his neck out you just added to his hatred for America lol. I never said GTR's weren't fast or couldn't handle well, I said there are better cars as the GTR owner here made it seem as if nothing stock could beat a GTR. They're quick, handle well if that's really handling, but there is quicker without the electronic BS.

for the price range, and for ANYONE to step into a car and get a good time ,there is not anything quicker. Including the ACR and the ZR1. You put any average joe inall 3 of those and i gaurantee the only car that even finishes is the GTR. They would spin out, and wreck an ACR/ZR1 if they aren't extremely good drivers. I read everything, you just like to be a fan boy, and you do nothing but say how great you are and everything you drive is. In the price range stock for stock, there is nothing that even comes close to the GTR. You can make modifactions to the GTR and it will outrun even the ZR1 and the ACR, that's fact. As i sifted through the verbal atrocity that is your posts, i was at a loss to find anything that made any sense. Your whole argument that the GTR isn't that good is based off the fact that fully raced out porsches put down better lap times.

So the RING doesn't count as a good enough track to prove it's fast on? Or any other tarck in america or otherwise? It has to perform better than the cars YOU drive at road atlanta for it to be considered a good car in your eyes? That is without a doubt the most neandrethalic statement i've ever heard.

THERE ARE A 100 GTRS RUNNING THE STUPID FAST TIMES AT ALL THE OTHER TRACKS. NO ONE HAS TAKEN A GTR TO A TIME ATTACK EVENT AND TRIED TO GET A GOOD TIME, ON RECORD. SO CLEARLY THERE IS NOT RECORD OF A GTR AT ROAD ATLANTA. HOWEVER THERE IS ONE WITH IT AT THE MOST FAMOUS TRACK IN IN THE WORLD WHICH ALL OTHER CAR COMPANIES USE AS A STANDARD, THE RING. AND IT DID EXCEPTIONALLY WELL THERE. BUT I GUESS THAT DOESN'T MAKE A BIT OF DIFFERENCE CUZ YOU DIDN'T SEE IT HAPPEN AT ROAD ATLANTA.

you are calling other member here "dumbasses" for not reading and yet you insinuate that i have stated that no cars can be a GT-R? really? :screwy:

let me spell it out for you... OEM Stock vs. OEM Stock there is no other PRODUCTION car that will beat the GT-Rs times. the ACR is not a production car... the ZR1 has already been beaten...granted they have revamped the dampners and the fight is on...but, their times are not yet faster. Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche...their production cars have yet to beat the GT-Rs times...

And honestly? I HOPE they do! i LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this competition... in a time where most cars are being detuned to save fuel and the planet, i absolutely adore the fact that there are horsepower and race wars going on!


As for GTR's at Road Atlanta, what do the Forged guys run? Low 1:30's? 1:32's or something? That's with mods.

i am not sure what Sharif's lowest times are... i could certainly find out. but, Sharif's car runs modified and not unlimited in Time Attack. his car is not highly modified. it's running roughly 19psi and 500awhp. yes, he has JRZ triples, but he runs TOYO R888s and not slicks. hopefully this year Redline will make it out to more East Coast events and one of them will be at Road Atlanta... you will see some real bad ass cars then. and probably some track records. those unlimited guys don't play.

OEM Stock vs. OEM Stock there is no other PRODUCTION car that will beat the GT-Rs times. the ACR is not a production car... the ZR1 has already been beaten...granted they have revamped the dampners and the fight is on...but, their times are not yet faster. Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche...their production cars have yet to beat the GT-Rs times...

And honestly? I HOPE they do! i LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this competition... in a time where most cars are being detuned to save fuel and the planet, i absolutely adore the fact that there are horsepower and race wars going on!



i am not sure what Sharif's lowest times are... i could certainly find out. but, Sharif's car runs modified and not unlimited in Time Attack. his car is not highly modified. it's running roughly 19psi and 500awhp. yes, he has JRZ triples, but he runs TOYO R888s and not slicks. hopefully this year Redline will make it out to more East Coast events and one of them will be at Road Atlanta... you will see some real bad ass cars then. and probably some track records. those unlimited guys don't play.

How can you PROVE no production car can beat a GTR? $50 me versus you me in a GT3 Porsche you in your GTR I'd beat you. Like I say I have yet to see in REAL LIFE a GTR dominate cars at a track day and such.

I am speaking of NASA time attack where Sharif also runs in. I've seen Redline many times, sure there are balls out fast cars, but they aren't all GTR's so what's your point there? Redline won't come to Road Atlanta either. I wish they would but I highly doubt they do.

500awhp is no slouch of a car. :screwy: Last I remember he was in the 1:3* zone.

You aren't understanding this debate because you're a GTR fan boy, you think the GTR is god and dominates the automotive world when it's just a fast car with a PS3 attached to it's chassis.

[Elbow]

so guys........... since the GTR is obviously better than the S2000 and G35, lets kinda get back on topic. This has turned into another GTR controversy thread......

Threads closed S2K G35 boy find another way home!

there really is no debate here because you still have yet to grasp my point of view... your arguments of that of the straw-man type... e.g.:

1 - saying that you could beat my times with you driving a GT3 and me driving my GT-R. there is no debating this...i am not a track person. you could beat my GT-R times in a Yugo.

2 - saying that i am a GT-R fanboy and that i think it will beat all cars. as stated multiple times in this thread, i am not of this opinion... my equivalent was that of OEM vs. OEM car with same driver and his/her lap times. i am all about comparing apples to apples.

i will happily continue debating you when you steer clear of the straw-man arguments. :)

one final thought - i am fairly decent acquaintances with the Redline board... i am voting for Road Atlanta, so we shall see... and when i speak of the unlimited cars, because we were speaking of the GT-R, i was, of course, referencing the GOTO Racing GT-R and Fontana Nissan's GT-R...both will race in the Unlimited class and both will set times that will astonish you.




so guys........... since the GTR is obviously better than the S2000 and G35, lets kinda get back on topic. This has turned into another GTR controversy thread......

Yes, apologies to the OP for taking his thread so far off topic. My vote is for the G35.

I'm aware of both those cars, astonish? No, they do exactly what I'd expect them to do with that type of build.

If they run under 1:20's at Road Atlanta then I will be happy.

[jmotley]

get what you want..either a nice g35 or nice s2000 will cost over 10k so look at the features that stick out the most to you and make a good choice, both hold their value pretty well and s2k's will go up now that they discontinued em. also i know i wouldn't want to spend 12k on a car then look back and see that i wanted the other. so glwb lol

[deliriouzmc]

drivers car s2k hands down
g35 kinda fun and look good
350z and s2k are better to compare imo

[5speed]

I'm not even discussing the whole GTR Ring BS again, there were 3984993 threads on that.

Please tell me you're kidding...IN THIS THREAD NOBODY COMPARED THE GTR TO ANYTHING I'VE DRIVEN OR AM DRIVING, ONLY YOU BROUGHT UP A RACE CAR VS A STREET CAR.

Road Atlanta is the best track in this area, I am there for every event and have seen tons of GTR's none of which were as fast as their leg humpers think. So until you all figure out why or make one so stupid fast as you mention, then shut the fuck up. You're making NO SENSE, you didn't read this thread, you're talking straight out of your ass. :no:
Wrong, I work motorcycle events all the time and never met you lol

[claybird]

i like the g better but the s2k is bettter all around to me

[DirtyMechanic]

I'm aware of both those cars, astonish? No, they do exactly what I'd expect them to do with that type of build.

If they run under 1:20's at Road Atlanta then I will be happy. sharif was doing 1.36 bone stock. and will was doing easy 1:32 with coil overs r888s exhaust and a tune... which gave him if i remember 464awhp... this was also Wills first time out on RA.:goodjob:

just because the discontinue a model doesnt mean the price goes up... it will be very very far from not that a s2k price will go up... they are not rare, they never will be. even 80's cars prices are going up as much as you think.

Haha, yeah I was just messing with ya. I have worked AMA once there. He hated it at Barber for awhile, bc he didnt have free reign like at RA. But George has chilled a good bit so now he likes it a lot there. I dont do car events for RA, I might in the future since I am getting licensed to work for IRL. Havent done much car stuff really. Just the past three years of Grand AM and Porsche School and Mustang Club, and a few others here and there. Barber is basically my home track since I go there the most.

Yeah you get to meet a lot of cool people and working test days and such see some cool things. I also think it can help driving as well, working so much at Road Atlanta I have seen almost any imaginable line and screw up every section of the track, you learn from others mistakes and learn from the fastest.

Yeah, it will def help you see the best lines and what happens where. I always work station 10-12 at RA. I have been doing the motorcycle stuff for 4 yrs and have learned so much about the tracks I work. There are somethings you will notice working on a station that you would never realize driving or riding a bike. It could be a matter of moving just a couple of inches in any direction and it could change your times pretty well...with bikes though ofcourse

Yeah, even with cars looking at the track from different prospectives will help out a lot. Especially at a turn like 7 you really see how elevated it is and wide it is.

I've worked every turn my favorite is probably 11 or 7.

I have worked all of them also. I hate 2,6, and 9. If I have an injury or if my knees are doing bad then I go to 8 or 9A. Are we the only Corner Marshals on IA? I work for FBF BTW.

2 sucks, 6 I like because it's kind of chill and good close up to the cars/bikes lol. I worked AMA there a few times. I've only worked 9 twice, it's so boring lol. Usually the same guy works 9 for Road Atlanta because he's so familiar with the black flags and all.

I just work for Road Atlanta, so any test days, track days, etc I work and AMA brings some Road Atlanta people in.

I think there are a couple NASA guys on here who flag/work.

Cool. I think FBF got a contract with AMA for RA now. They have been in the works for having a contract with AMA everywhere in the states and also working on having some of us train people for World SuperBike and a few car clubs want us to go where ever they go lol. Plus pay is going up this year.

you didn't know i moved. i forgot. i live near jonesbridge and states bridge. :) and yeah, i hate that light. now that you are cawk-blawked by the poles up keeping that lane moving, people don't want to let you over so you don't have to make the obligatory right hand turn. this is where 0-60 on the GT-R comes into play. :)

get your facts straight buddy...no hate on g35's but I would choose a s2k over a g35 anyday, but that's just me

[S2KJD]

stock s2k's can get into the high 13's.

i like the g35's but i still love the rawness of the s2k. If i want to go fast i want to feel that im going fast not like im sitting on clouds and could sleep through the experience :D

hell yeah!!!..i smoke g35's with my s2k..it all depends on driver really...both cars are nice either way...but 9k FTW

yeah drivers race and in the end both nice cars. either decision isnt a "bad" one...

[AnthonyF]

Well, I will actually contribute to this thread b/c I like stay_up. Both cars a very nice. I feel the 2nd gen G35 is a much nicer vehicle than the S2k. The S2k is quicker in almost every aspect but you are limited on what you can do with it as a DD. The G35 can fit 4 people, more leg and head room and it's nowhere near as noisy. s2k owners, don't get all pissy, but the G35 has a bit more "class" to it and doesn't scream out "street racer" as much.

hey if you think my cars are crappy, i don't care hahahaprelude --- doesnt matter how many on the motor... how many on the chassis... 170k? naw.... still 2k.

CX---- its a 92 cx hatch.. doesnt matter whats under the hood. hamster, gerbil, V8-i4 still a 92 cx hatch.

94 2jz no shit... id have to see pics of this awesome super duper white new paint. im sure you have taken photos like everyone does here after a fresh paint on a old pos SC...

ps pics with 2jz swap...:goodjob:


07 sk2.. congrates welcome to the real world with a car payment... now keep that 9-5 and pay that car note. no need to get it repo'd... but you wouldnt care you have 3 other cars you can drive.


Umm... has the OP even chosen yet. It shouldnt take that long to decide with the information given here and info that can be found on other sites. If not then I doubt he could even afford either one of them.
kind of a bold statement for someone you dont know. ignorant really. just shows who you are.

I didnt mean anything by it. Just saying that people might have the means to do it and then something may happen to keep them from being able to afford it. I was in that situation so wondered if that was the case. There isnt any ignorance in that.

I get a good LOL! out of your dumbass post by the way:yes: I am sure the ppl that no me got a good laugh out of that dumb post.I have seen alot of good pointers in this thread concerning the cars i posted.But i am very interested in getting 1 myself,but when i posted the thread i was doing it for my brolaw who end up getting the z,thats why i did't post again so thanks anyway:tongue1:






P.s the title was going to be evo vs 350z vs g35 vs sti but he drove the sti and did not like it then he drove a evo8 that was abused because it was making a noise,so he said fuck it and picked up a 1 owner z.

Yep, there was some pretty good info here. I was looking into getting an s2000 around the time this was posted so it helped alot but then wasnt given the job I was told I was hired for, bitches flaked out. I had and still have another job and could still get it, just being responsible and not jumping into it. I didnt mean to be malicious or anything by my post. Got a neg rep out of it though. lol

that neg will be + in due time.But i feel u on the job issue.I had a good job last yr and then we just bottomed out.after buying the wife a murano,aviator and now the is300 in 09 alone i left very little funds for me a s2k so i am having to wait till i get my house because i am not sure how much i want to put down yet,now that i am makin hr wage now:cry:


The only thing i don't like about the s2k is the soft top.I just don't no if i want to take the risk of some 1 cutting it,then i would have to get a hardtop and that cost way more than i care to spend:yes:

Yea, I def understand that. I was gonna go hardtop. I wouldnt want to risk it getting cut either. My old Miata got cut 3 times then I decided to sell bc I was sick and tired of replacing it.

I'm poor. One day, I hope to afford either a G35 or a S2K.

damn screw that,i had a vert stang and a little branch fell out of a tree and punctured i replaced it then sold the car and said no more verts:crazy:


s2k and g35's are dropping in price.But with the economy going down the tube it still makes it hard for alot of us to buy a decent car:yes:

It sure does. I will be looking for another vehicle soon. Good thing it isnt too hard to find an s2000 unmolested though. I have decided to just lower what I will spend to about $8k and just make a nice reliable DD. I think I will save the detailed builds for when I am doing better off. I am just about to get married and dont want to run myself in a hole and not being able to afford buying a house. Especially when are ridiculously good deals these days.
