A factory stock S2000 will keep up with a 350Z in accleration tests and
probably be quicker around a given track. However, getting that kind of
performance from the S2000 means driving it *really* hard and knowing
how to keep the engine inside it's narrow powerband between 6,000 and
8,200 RPM. The 350Z is a more refined vehicle, more comfortable and
nearly as quick, it's also got a much more flexible engine. In the real
world, the 350Z is a more well rounded choice, but the S2000 has appeal
as a weekend canyon carver.
