I used to have a 03 350z black with orange leather seats. LSD from factory...I also used to own a red 2000 S2000.
The s2k was a great car, it put a smile on my face EVERY SINGLE TIME i drove it. it was so nimble, handled great, sounded amazing with a single exit exhaust etc...however after about a year it would get tedious to dive every day. especially when i worked 30miles from home.
I also took it on a road trip to so cal (about 5hrs) and surprisingly i could fit a small suitcase in the trunk, but that was about it. the inside was cramped with me and the wife and any type of snacks/our jackets/etc.
It ended up getting the top cut, the seats stolen, tach, shift knob,steering wheel etc...So a few grand later it was back to normal and then about 2 months later the whole thing got stolen. I didn't have any type of theft issues with my Z, and it seemed like all the honda fanbois were looking for SWEET OEM S2K parts.
My Z was much more comfortable to drive everyday and having the hatch was easier to throw shit in the back while driving. the stereo was slightly better but still sucked...I don't think its easy to mess up the exhaust note on these cars, just do your research on what you want to get and listen to sound clips before you buy. thats all.
Both cars can have a pretty bad ass stance and fitment. Both cars for me were about the same speed (you just had to drive the S different)
I ran a ~13.6 bone stock with both cars and they were within 1-2mph trap speed. so thats a wash.
The suspension is more forgiving on your body when dailying on bumpy roads in the Z...but you can definetly feel the weight in the steering of the car and the drive by wire throttle gets annoying as well.
Think thats about it...I don't have any comments on the Genesis since I've never driven one. But they look sweet! and they do seem to be slugs from the factory but respond really well to mods
