I am most likely trading in my 2007 S2000 for a 2012 370Z with sport package ... just waiting for the car to arrive at the dealer.

I am just a little apprehensive about letting go of my S2000 so I'm interested in an honest comparison of the two cars from anyone that's owned both. Pluses, minuses, any regrets (LOL)?

I know the obvious HP/speed difference. How is the handing and fun to drive factor in comparison? Test drove the Z twice but no real twisty roads to wring it out on.

How is maintenance, reliability, etc? Are the oil problems fixed on the '12's or do I need to worry about it? I don't track but I do a lot of spirited canyon drives ... is the Z going to withstand being pushed on mountain roads at 105 degrees in summer? Thanks.
