350z vs s2k

[ZeDFuNk]

BTW atlxkevinx

they are not 2 different completely different cars. They are big rivals and in the same class and price range.

THe car with the best performance: 350z hands down.
best power: 350z hands down.
cheapest to mod: s2k hands down. My Z's HKS was $1400, don't get me started on other ****.
most reliable: no comparison here, they're both extremely reliable vehicles.
can handle the most on the block:s2k can handle upwards of 500whp on stock block! ( so i've heard) the Z can handle 400 SAFELY. But of course the Z will have a hell of alot more torque than the s2k no matter w hat.. so a 500whp s2k has maybe 300 tq where a 400whp z has about 400wtq. So it's about even at that point!
best lookingpinion of course, but 350z IMO.
handles the road better:s2k has slight better handling being it's lighter. But will still lose on the track with equal drivers.
Best all round great car:Up to you, if you want a faster car that looks better stock.. 350z. If you plan to do ALOT of modding, then it's up to you which one you think looks better! But with small mods; N/A mods, you can't go wrong with the Z, it will respond better to N/A mods than a 4 banger. ( duh ). good luck on your decision.

And this statement is definitely circumstantial. If you use a log manifold, yes you'll only hit 300 trq on 500 hp, but a tubular could get you 400-450 if set up correctly with a 30 series turbo.

When I hit 500 during my next tune, I'm planning to hit 400 trq (using Mase from Stage 6 motorsports in Jacksonville).

ah, well i was going off what you told me baout your cars numbers! I wasn't aware about the other stuff :p I just remember you telling me you had very low tq compared to HP :]

even though a boosted s2000 still doesn't have enormous torque, it can still get around. and depending on the turbo size you can't really tell, because as soon as boost kicks in it's gone!

Thanks man - that's about the time my headgasket was going so you actually caught it about as "slow" as it could have been as I must've been losing compression. Remember the white smoke from the exhaust? That was the coolant being burned up upon startup

Either car boosted is going to be completely nuts.

There was this other post I read about a girl trying to pick a choice between type R's, Type S's, and other cars. Outta all that, she chose a 08 Si. I know you'll get the Honda.. I have faith. muahAHHAHa

P.S. Honda's have 9 lives but only with a bad ass alarm system..Good LUCK
If you can hit 14.0 in a 1/4 with a stock s2k; You are my s2k idol.
