Wow, this is an old thread but a good read anyway. I'll chime in because before owing my 370Z I had a 2007 S2000 for almost 4 years. Here's my observations:
They are both spectacular cars, I believe everyone that is a car enthusiast shown own both in their lifetime. The S is more "raw" in that you can feel every crack in the road and also really feel what the tires are doing. The car is plenty quick and running to redline is an amazing experience, especially with an exhaust on it. I'm 6'1" and it fit me like a glove, I could see where guys much bigger than me could be a little cramped. There isn't much in the way of creature comfort, no nav, no heated seats, no radio worth mentioning, no Bluetooth. It's a drivers car and makes no compromises. Now to the 370Z. It feels so much bigger, I'm still trying to learn to judge the size when parking. The creature comforts are a nice addition coming from such a focused car like the S. The torque is nice and power is addictive. The grip is amazing, driving in the mountains is a little more satisfying in the Z because of the grip and power out of the turns. I agree the 370Z is more of a "grown up" feeling car, I know passengers are much happier riding with me now!
