Default Need HAN's Help again V. 350z

Well, I did end up going to the states to buy that S2000 (https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...d.php?t=287055), but after a sad turn of events it ended up written off (long story, but speed was not a factor and insurance paid in full). So now I'm car shopping in the states and I'm looking at the following 350z

http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...eadExists=true

I think the URL works. I know there are a few Z owners on here, and I'm wondering what they think of the car, I've been talking with the dealer, but not about price yet. Any opinions?

I think you'll be disappointed in how it drives after owning an S2000. It has more torque and is faster, but is less of a driver's car. But if you want more comfort and more power, it's definitely for you. That seems like a decent price, I've been seeing them go cheaper and cheaper all the time.

That's kinda what I was worried about, I liked how the S2000 drove - I may try and find one around my area (there are very few). That I can take for a test drive to at least get a feel for it.

I didn't think the steering input was as precise, the clutch had zero feel to it (I couldn't tell when it was engaging/disengaging), and the shifter doesn't even come close.

Except it looks like a Grand Prix. Ew.
