Im driving a 07 Z with 6MT, have to say that Z reaches 120km in 2nd gear when S2K in same speed usually with 3rd, thats a huge advantage for Z in this circuit anyway, love my Z and respect S2K
Drove my friends S2k for a summer, was a cool car fast and handles very good. I was buying a new car and had the Honda and Nissan in my sights.Since I was familiar with the S2k I went a test drove the Z. I got em to take $5k off the car and drove it home that day. this is the best car I've ever had. It does everything so well and around town driving is a breeze with it's torque you don't even have to shift as much. Check out my page to see her, and most girls I meet start off with "nice car" !
@ Payne z. Thanks for the positive comment! I also respect the z and I drive an s2k. Both great cars. I chose the s2k just cause I hear the transmission's can take a good beating. But go N/A!!
The answer to all the excuses the S2000 fans are giving lies in the first 2 seconds. The S2000 started in first. The track is narrow. It takes a prime opportunity to pass the car in front of you without hitting it and damaging two cars that are worth around $35,000 each. Once the Z driver saw his opportunity, he took it, and the S2000 was incapable of recovering. The Z makes tighter turns, and has far more horsepower and torque. Period. Take your spanking, and live with it.
i think if there were more laps the outcome MIGHT have been different. but then again i'm taking the weight into account since the Z's front tyres would probably start to give. or all four for the fact that it's such a heavy car. both are great cars..but AP2 ftw!! =)
@AyashiFX55 Did you look at the video? I'm not knocking his driving ability but I would question whether the Z driver is driving as hard as the S2k driver. The best way to compare the cars would be to have Tsuchiya drive both separately and compare lap times.
The s2000 didn't do that badly considering the engine displacement difference, less BHP and a n/a engine. I'd love to see how the 350z would compare to something like a Skyline R32 V-Spec.
Since you're just paying attention to what the s2k has LESS of, you forgot one thing. WEIGHT, and not just a bit but more than 200kilos less, which brings them back to almost the same power/weight distribution and it atill lost. You know why? Because that crappy little 2.2 litre engine has a major flow. No torque
both are great cars,obviously z has more power but u got to give it to honda 240hp vs 290hp and two less cylinders and a 2 second lap differece they must be doing something right!
the S2000 rivalry against the Z is over. With the new upgraded Z, the S2000 stands no chance. he would get spanked by he 306whp/268TORQUE on a straightline and track. And if you wanna talk about about track, wait until the NISMO Z comes out, which is just 3K more than the S.
Poor Zed being thudded into 3rd gear nearly every shift, aggressive clutch release. Love S2000's to bits but the Z33 cant be beat by an S2000, torque, big brembo's (borrowed from r34 gtr), perfect chassis balance and easyer to drive hard.
@ThePsycoPuerco How is this the worst version of the S, and the best version of the Z????? The best Z would be a Nismo, which handles much better than the regular one.
kazama handled that z very well I'd like to see ap1 vs the de, the hr is a bit of a faster car compared to an s2k and those straights on tsukuba really let that thing take off compared to the s2k that has the great weight and great maneuverability but not enough torque to blast out of the exits like the hr 350z, the de would be a more suited match they are more equivalent in power to weight so it would come down to what is better in turns both great cars tho ex g35 owner hopefully soon s2k owner
Two great cars, but the Z is the better, so what it took a few laps to catch it, by lookn at the video its plane to see once its pasted the S2000 there is no way the honda catches up.
Lol...It takes Nissan 300 horsepower and a 3.5L motor to do what Honda has done with 240 HP and a 2.0/2.2L motor. Now that is priceless....I really hope a 300 hp sports car could beat a 240 hp convertible....
s2000 is a girly car???? Who r u for telling That. I owned 2 Z in my life and i had to much problem with them!!!! S2000 is a better car than Nissan! I got one since 4 years and i love it!
It's a 2.2 and keep in mind the 200+ kilos of weight difference. S2k is just too overated that is why people think it would hold or (lol) even win this one
if we talking about shep, honda got it,, but if we talking about better,, nissan is papa, example,, expencief car?? infinity more than acura,, fastest,, skylane, silvia, 240sx in top of nsx,, and so.. say something ja j aj a

z is fast true that but s2000 is fuckin fun to drive specially if u have a good setup..the high revving engine is a masterpiece..
Pffffffffffffff, S2000 is a monster in comparison of the 350Z... it has 40 horses-power in less and is 2 liters... Nissan ownized!!!
1500kg vs 1200kg ,why you dont mention this and everyone says only about this 40hp ?
@velosojan the guy's probably a championship winner, he knows what his doing unlike your quick shifting in the streets.
i think if there were more laps the outcome MIGHT have been different. but then again i'm taking the weight into account since the Z's front tyres would probably start to give. or all four for the fact that it's such a heavy car. both are great cars..but AP2 ftw!! =)
@nilbaloo Don't forget the S2000 only revs 800rpm more than the 7500rpm Z.
@AyashiFX55 Did you look at the video? I'm not knocking his driving ability but I would question whether the Z driver is driving as hard as the S2k driver. The best way to compare the cars would be to have Tsuchiya drive both separately and compare lap times.
Can the Z driver shift any slower?!
@astorbergonzoni Wrong. They already had a test with the older honda. But it's nice to dream, isn't it?
The S2000 is one of my favorites. And it's heck cheaper than my most favorite (the Ferrari Enzo).
In this track yep but show it some Fuji and se the 350Z weight running on the straights xD. I tihnk too that both are grat.
The s2000 didn't do that badly considering the engine displacement difference, less BHP and a n/a engine.
I'd love to see how the 350z would compare to something like a Skyline R32 V-Spec.

I like both cats but got a s2k! Never drove a z so cant talk shyt :)
@OverfedPigeon well since hes a super gt griver, probably some high end racing school in japan
holy shit that guy is granny shifting the Z
Not double clutching like he should 😂
both are great cars,obviously z has more power but u got to give it to honda 240hp vs 290hp and two less cylinders and a 2 second lap differece they must be doing something right!
And 250 less kg
AP1 was also faster than AP2 even with same engine (f20c) cos of stiffer suspension.
The S2000 was only in the lead cause it got a head start and it was difficult to overtake! But the best car won in the end! =D
Very impressive those Nissans. 3.5l slightly faster than some 2.0l Honda
it's just weight difference, about 400kg less
@EnnesX
oh yeah, despite faster lap time, s2000 still lose. a lot hp without torque is useless too. good for marketing though. sad reality.
the Z lapped faster

its a 1200 kg car vs 1500
This s2k engine f22c 242hp...but f20c whit 250hp is more fast...
damn on a strait line, that 3.5 just wants to GO
@ThePsycoPuerco How is this the worst version of the S, and the best version of the Z????? The best Z would be a Nismo, which handles much better than the regular one.
That fool in the s2000 mis-shifted and went on tilt. Two seconds difference? Something is amiss.
kazama handled that z very well I'd like to see ap1 vs the de, the hr is a bit of a faster car compared to an s2k and those straights on tsukuba really let that thing take off compared to the s2k that has the great weight and great maneuverability but not enough torque to blast out of the exits like the hr 350z, the de would be a more suited match they are more equivalent in power to weight so it would come down to what is better in turns both great cars tho ex g35 owner hopefully soon s2k owner

If only handa made it a hardtop and a v6. more power, less flex, even lighter, possibly.
and the z is what.. not n/a?
@jerryscherry hahahaha now your a legit youtube blogger. welcome
3.5 vs. 2 Liter !
CHRIS SKYDIVE 2.2
@pikarin55x correct
290? try 309 bhp for new model :D Z is a completely different car. Z is safer GT, S2000 is more a flimsy top down girly car.
the old s2000 (the one reach 9000) would kick 350z ass xD
Lol...It takes Nissan 300 horsepower and a 3.5L motor to do what Honda has done with 240 HP and a 2.0/2.2L motor. Now that is priceless....I really hope a 300 hp sports car could beat a 240 hp convertible....
It takes that crappy 2.2 motor 250 less kilos to be able to lose without shaming itself because NO torque...
s2000 is a girly car???? Who r u for telling That. I owned 2 Z in my life and i had to much problem with them!!!! S2000 is a better car than Nissan! I got one since 4 years and i love it!
Doubt you ever seen a z up close in real life, let alone owning one. Good story kid...
V6 3 L vs i4 2 L
It's a 2.2 and keep in mind the 200+ kilos of weight difference. S2k is just too overated that is why people think it would hold or (lol) even win this one
lol you guys ever watch js racing s2000 vs yashio factory 350z? s2000 owns corners 350z owns straights end of story
2800lbs vs 3300...
if we talking about shep, honda got it,, but if we talking about better,, nissan is papa, example,, expencief car?? infinity more than acura,, fastest,, skylane, silvia, 240sx in top of nsx,, and so.. say something ja j aj a
Nissan put Honda in his place
ok it took nissan 7 years to "catch up" with honda
the ap2 model in this video ran from 2003-2009, the hr model in this video is 2007.
@juno4000 and thats why it didnt win car of the year
Z rules :D
wow first time the drift king lost :)
this track is on forza 3
hehe, I have one :D
Long gears
he miss shifted dummy.
this just shows that the 350z is a better track car.
2 people drive huyndais
sikhovski yes. Didnt dislike it tho
