350Z handles better than the S2000? That's not how I remember them from when I drove em, but okay.

The S2k, to me at least, feels much more connected to the road and like driving an actual sports car. It's got better steering feel with a quicker ratio, it's a lot lighter, has a better pedal setup (especially the brake feel when compared to non-Brembo Z cars), better shifter, is easier to rev match, better sight lines, and its suspension is far more sorted for twisty roads.

The Z feels somewhat like driving a sedan with not enough visibility. The dash and beltline are really high up and the windows are tiny. It's got a lot of grip but it's not really very involving to drive until you get way up to the upper handling limits. Just driving around town it's too relaxing to drive, too much like a regular car, for me. Of course the Z does have a way more flexible motor, but that's a given since it's got almost twice as much displacement. And yes, it does look pretty freakin mean and sound mean as hell too.

If I were to choose between the two I'd pick the S2k, but the 350Z is by no means a bad car. I just want something which always feels like you're driving a sports car, not something that is comfy.
