It's funny you ask that because for about 2 months after i bought the Z, i went into some sort of a withdrawal where i regretted selling the S for the Z. If you've ever watched the top gear episode where Rich Hammond compares the boxter s vs m coupe, i'd say that's a carbon copy of how the situation goes. Both cars offer different things. You have to know going into the Z that it's not designed to behave like the s. Not better, not worse. Just different. Overall, i've come to appreciate the z much more than before and am now at a point where i would never go back to the s even if i could.

What i miss about the s: one of the best trannies ever made, drop top, 8 or 9k revs, the nimbleness, the connected feeling to the road, the raw nature and feel, light weight, etc. What i love about the z: POWERRRRRR, rock solid chassis, amentities (S had none literally), the vq, torque, much much easier to drive fast than the s (no snap oversteer like the s), more refined everything, comparable handling to the s, etc.

I'm sure you'll be happy with the z, but make sure you understand what the purpose of this car is. Then you'll be the happiest camper ever. Gluck!
