What is the difference between a Nissan 350Z and a 370Z?
I think it's fair to say that when Nissan was developing the 370Z, they were trying to pretty much build a 350Z 2.0With that said, 370Z owners don't complain as much as 350Z owners. Nissan mostly got rid of the cheap plastic that dominated the interior of the 350Z and replaced it with more premium and softer material such as leather in the 370Z. The ride quality was refined although some enthusiasts may appreciate the 350Z's raw demeanor better. I hear that the blind spot is still bad.Nissan kept improving the 350Z over the years (2002-2008) and so horsepower was incrementally upgraded. By 2007, the 350Z had 306 horsepower which I think is pretty impressive coming from a naturally aspirated 3.5 L V6. It's contemporary domestic rival, the Ford Mustang, needed a 4.6L V8 to put out just 300 horsepower. That's more than an entire liter more for less horsepower! As you might guess, the 370Z boasts a 3.7 L naturally aspirated V6 with 332 horsepower but with just about the same amount of torque as the previous generation's. Whereas the 350Z's 3.5 L is smooth all the way up to the redline, the 370Z's 3.7 L is apparently unrefined and very brash near the redline. The exhaust also doesn't sound quite as nice as it did on the 350Z but the larger engine did retain the 7,500 rpm redline. Of course it all depends on the expertise of the driver but straight line performance basically remained the same I believe.The automatic transmission gained two gears from 5 to 7 which allowed the 370Z to maintain the same MPG even with the increase of power and displacement. Column-mounted paddle shifters were introduced on a Z car for the first time which is a big plus.Now talking exterior dimensions:The 370Z is a little bit lower, a little bit shorter, and a little bit wider. It's also lighter in terms of curb weight. But more importantly, the tail doesn't level out like it does in the 350Z which makes the 370Z the true spiritual successor to the classic 240Z because it has all the right proportions.
Does Honda S2000 have LSD, and what is the different about AP1 and AP2?
I have 2001 S2000 and was wondering if I needed to buy LSD for my car. I also have 350z and it has the DVC system where I can turn on or off and I love it. But what about my s2000? What can I do to fix this problem?
Does a Nissan 350Z have back seats?
yes but it's not much of a back seat as it main benefit or purpose is to liwer Insurance cost! Of course the manufacturer might never say this,but from sumone who has owned a sports car knows how much insurance rates vary for a 2-seater versus a 4 seater. In every case I've seen or heard it's cheaper to insure a four-seater than two seater some people call it the insurance back seat. It's there but not very comfortable! Just the bare minimum in my opinion.
Why doesn’t Honda make a successor to the S2000, to compete with the Mazda MX-5?
It’s a very small, low profit margin market, and Mazda already has it pretty well wrapped up.They didn’t stop selling the S2000 because they were tired of making money. They stopped because sales didn’t justify further production.
Which is better, the RX8 or the 350Z?
It depends what you want from your car.The RX8 can be had very cheaply (at least in the UK) as it's oil burning rotary engine has quite bad emissions and hence warrants a high tax bracket, this coupled with higher running costs due to the oil consumption and increased service intervals mean that you can buy the car very cheaply. The 350z on the other hand is a more 'daily' friendly car with a reliable engine and commends a higher price.If I were in the market for a car of this type I would also consider the Honda S2000 and the BMW Z4 both of which are similar in price and performance. And considering all four cars I would choose the S2000 due to its great chassis and nearly 9000 rpm rev limit. Although for a daily driver the Z4 or 350Z would be a more sensible choice.
Which year for the Honda S2000 was the best?
Although mine was a 2001, I think the best year was the 2003 model. The last of the 9,000 rpm'ers. That's 150 rounds per second in a naturally aspirated street car. While the S2000 stayed pretty much the same throughout it's life, the 2004 dropped the rpm limit to 8,800, and kept dropping after that…. all for a little bit of silly torque.You have to drive the high rpm cars. The screaming of the engine at 9,000 is a visceral feeling I have never felt in any other experience. I gave mine to my daughter with 260,000 miles on it. Still running great. I hated to give it up, but, I'm 67, and a walker won't fit in the passenger side.
Bigger chick magnet, 350z or s2000?
350z the s2000 looks to much like a miata you'll have a fairy magnet
Which is better: a Honda S2000 and a Nissan 350Z?
Honda’s S2000 is a curious car. Tucked inside that pretty, pointy body are all the ingredients to make it one of the finest sports cars on sale today; ballistic high revving engine, front-engine/rear wheel drive, snappy shift and snappier looks. The S2000's 2.0-litre i-VTEC engine even won International Engine of the Year for four consecutive years (2001 – 2004) and the manual hood opens and closes in an electro-mechanically-embarrassing six seconds.But the S2000 only delivers its thrills in short, sharp, fleeting moments… usually between 6000 and 9000rpm or when the tail whips around suddenly. No, as a package the S2000 doesn’t deliver. It’s not as deliciously composed or balanced as a Boxster or a 350Z, the SLK is the better all-rounder and if style is your thing the Paul Smith-on-wheels Audi TT trumps it comprehensively.car coverstore have a good offer for buy a carcover they gave a worth product.and free shipping.Car Covers | Best Rated Car Covers | CarCoverStore.com
2001 MR2 Spyder vs. 2002 Honda S2000 vs. 2004 Nissan 350Z?
The S2000 is out. I drove a students S2000 earlier this year at an autocross school I was teaching. Brilliant handling car but I wouldn't say it had an abundance of power. The MR2 Spyder is another one I've had a stab at on the autocross course. An interestingly balanced car especially considering the aft engine placement - unlike a Miata I could not get it to oversteer to save my life. Extremely well balanced. Again though, not a lot of power there. The 350Z is really your only choice. This is one I've never experienced at the track though I did work for Nissan when these came out so I have a little street driving experience with them. This is probably the only car on your list with the combination of power and balance that will provide a proper starting point for you.
