350z vs. s2000 vs. STI

pretty simple pros and cons of each and what is better than the other i definitely think s2000 looks sexiest but i was wondering which handles/rides/looks better in your opinion

EDIT: forgot to add of course which one is your personal favorite which one would u get if u had the $$$

You're an a-hole for making me think so hard lol.
I would prolly never get a 350Z, as I perfer the G35's. S2000's are beautiful cars, and handle great. STi's, sound amazing thanks to the boxer under the hood. They all have their pros and cons.

STI - most fun to drive but you'd probably have to shift more often than the others. Only one that has a backseat. Only one with awd, good for light to light sprints. Good handling

S2000 - probably the lightest of the three, good solid power/weight ratio, very stylish, Rear wheel drive, no backseat, pretty good handling. Least powerful of the three


350z - I'd put this as kind of a combination of the pros and cons of the other 2. The 350z is as equally as stylish as the s2000 but doesn't have a backseat like the s2000. If I'm not mistaken it makes close to the same hp #s of the STI and has a broader aftermarket by a margin. rear wheel drive


Kind of broad, I didn't go too in depth but I just figured I'd scratch the surface

sti - awd good for luaching but for a 4 door, it got some pretty small wheel base which will hurt it in handling.. only 100''

s2k - no torque, but good 49-50 ratio so good handling, great track time and very light

350z - the "track" eidition one makes 300ponies out of a v6 3.5liter engine, but it's 3,200+ lbs, but got a some mad wheelbase, and the body is very stiff, so great handling i would think..

but it's all so hard... y not ask someone who has a those cars and ask them to race each other, hahaha...

I have driven an Sti and a evo viii and they are booth fast as hell. The Evo feels crazier as you can get that thing to drift with out messing with the suspension but the sti wants to understeer more. The sti's 6 speed is really nice but you have to shift more often.

Never got to drive an s2000 just took a ride in a supercharged one that was pushing 300whp and the thing was nuts. Still waiting for someone I know to get a 350z/g35 my dad was going to buy the sedan but then got a i35 for 9 grand less brand new, but hes still a punk

IMO Stock vs Stock I like the Evo.Cuz of handling reasons. Sti(or any Sub H-4) are the best sounding 4's. S2000 perf wise are good. No low end torque. But you do have tire spinning action. Top end the car is singing. But I hate ragtops. 350Z I dont like the look. Perf wise it's a brute. G35 is lux performance. Great car and runs neck to neck with 350Z(a lil heavier though). Great sound too.It's a toss up btween G35 and Evo for me. Also I'm feeling the RX8 for some reason.

umm i;ve drevin the brand new s2k, it's pretty sweet again no low end, but it got a little more bang than our 240sx with 167lb-ft (not super sure on the exact amount) but yea, and it's 6 speeds so u shift sooner, so it kicks more, how many speed does the sti have anyway? o and the s2k top end is pretty sweet also, and da b*tch take s the corner like no other b*tch hahah i hopes that explains alot, haha

STI = 6 gears, S2K = 6gears, G35 & 350Z = 6gears, Evo MR = 6gears, RX8 = 6gears
