S2000s are terrible. If you wan t the whole "I'm 16 and have a rich dad" boy racer feel then great. The are quick, no doubt about that, but they just don't feel good IMO. Super revy and negative torque, almost like driving a loud chihuahua you can sit in. Plus if you're at all tall ( I'm 6'2"ish) then the S2 is simply not comfortable.Plus, you will be associated with the Honduh crowd. Between and S2 and a 350 I would go 350, but either way you will automatically be labelled either a car-dumbass( Honduh) of Super Douche ( 350Z) by passersby.

I test drove a nismo 350 a few years back, definitely a fun car to drive but didn't feel as quick as I was expecting. The car looked great with the added nismo parts on it, but that's all I truely liked. The ride was decent as well and handled fairly. I've heard people say a z4 would be the better choice if you can afford one although I've never driven one. Just my 2¢

e46 m3 is pretty reliable and getting cheaper lately

Ha... ha ha. An e30 is considered to be one of the best driver's car out there.

I say go for it, i've driven a g35 and whoa! That was an awesome experience. Don't listen to some of these guys and get a honda, that's not the way to go..

G35 coupe > 350z if that's what I was looking into.

I say e46 m tree though.

Fuck Z33s. Get a nice Z32 twin turbo and some small hands. You'll only need the hands for working on it, so you can keep your manly thick fingers for every day use as usual.

this, renault fucked over the z33.

Also everyone in my area with a Z33 is an incredible douchenozzle, worse even than myself. I wear my pants around my waste and am not a fan of wifebeaters or "gold" chains, if that gives any indication of who I'm talking about.

That is my #1 biggest fear about the 350's, MOST (not all) owners around here are exactly what you described. An e46 m3 has been considered, but I think as a bang for buck alternative I'd rather an e46 330i sedan with a manual. Goes back to maintenance costs again though, I've spent enough time in my friends BMW shop to know that they are not cheap to fix when they break. The e46 is easily 75%+ of his customer base (popularity of e46 is a factor of course, but its an example)

because this is a bmw site, why not go for an M tree
