I've chirped 3rd before, I guess being on stock suspension and tires helps some.

350z's don't have anything up top, not in stock trim at least.

Integrity, have you had runs against s2000s?

I have a friend with a 350Z (Canadian one w/leather and everything except the cloth seats and brembos?) and no one is really sure if he can take on another friend's s2000 w/mugen i/e/h & ecu..etc. I assume driver skill is equal.

So far the 350Z did well on the highway against another pal's MKIV Supra TT with only one turbo working.

To be honest, I think I would own an S2000 on the highway... stock for stock. I'm just guessing here though. Back when I had an ITR, my friend's S2000 could take me, but only depending on where in the power band we started at. Plus if his top was down, I'd win, no contest. E36 M3s gave me problems though. I just recently dusted the hell out of an E36 M3 with the Z, so thats why I think it's top end is nothing to laugh at. But thats why I ask "Compared to what?" cause we all know its all relative.

S2000's top end power is good for an NA I4, but it will get walked by a 350Z on the top (much like the 3-4 mph trap speed difference would indicate).

I have no idea what your z will be trapping at, but a stock z should trap at what, 102 mph? Stock LT1's trap in the 105's, and 106's I believe.
