haha, thanks, i feel like an idiot. I'll say it's because it's in a different place than the g35 forum.

It's not as forgiving as s2k and has very little room for error. 370z is no doubt faster than s2k in track, but I kinda feel more comfortable in a s2k because its a very fun car to drive while 370z is all serious
This is kind of my worry. I am not really too concerned about track times (or i would be looking at sti/evo). I am more concerned about improving my skills as a driver and having fun driving. I feel like currently, the g35 really holds me back in terms of managing rotation because I am too scared to let it rotate at all because it feels so unstable. I really like the s2000, and would probably go for an ap2 if they still made new ones, but mostly don't want to get it because they are getting old and they are relatively expensive for how old they are.

The s2k is pretty frustrating to daily drive though, with the lack of torque compared to the g35, so pretty sure i'd be unhappy with the brz as well. And the lack of hp/torque makes it harder to throttle steer and power over, but it is so well balanced you can rotate easier with breaking or slight lifting, like a go-kart.

basically, want something like an s2k, but new. The 370z has more hp but is more boat like, the frs-brz is ever so slightly lighter but no power. Just wanted some input on how boat-like the 370z, is it at least better than the g35/350z?
