To All Maxima Drivers!
Dude, I have a couple of friends that drive Hondas. They always dog Nissan. One guy is always bragging about how fast the s2000 is against a 350z and that it is over priced. And just now he calls me up and dogs on my car. Saying that the Honda accord has TV navigation leather and all that good stuff with vtec, v6, 5 speed autos runs a 15.5. And that just left me speech less. So I need help I don’t know much about the 350z or the new maxima. Don’t get me wrong Honda are good cars, I give them props on fuel efficient. But what do they have when if comes to flagship cars man? “3.5 TL vs. Q45 “man.

2002 automatic Maximas run anywhere from mid 14s to low 15s. They have navigation, heated seats and steering wheel (I think), leather, 8-way power seats, HLSD option on 6spd manual, look better, and on top of all have a VQ.

the new v6 accord runs 15.5's?? thats not that impressive. Bring up the 2002 Civic SI and the 2002 Sentra SE-R since you want a Nissan/Honda fight.
Sentra SE-R: 6 Speed, 175 hp, 0-60 in 7.5, 2.5 liter, not great looking from the back
Civic SI: 5 Speed, 160 hp, 0-60 in 7.9, 2.0 liter, ugly all around
He has no right comparing the Accord to a Maxima. Tell him to compare his accord to an Altima. If he still wants to compare Maximas and Accords. That 15.5 sucks for a car with that power if thats the time. Even 4speed Auto Maximas are in the high 14s Stock. Also, the next gen Maxima will have more horsepower. 350Z isn't overpriced, it's kind of underpriced. It is faster than the S2000 stock and I am sure this car will have a higher aftermarket than the s2000. The only thing Honda has better is the Odyssey..but who cares? Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Maybe hardly any torque on their I4's, but on the V's it's definitely there.

What does wheel size have to do with anything? FYI the larger the rim, the more mass there is to move, thus degrading performance. The only reason you see really large wheels on touring cars and other road race cars is because they need them to fit over their huge brakes. On most cars, they are there to look cool, nothing else.
Also, MEVI and VTEC share nothing in common besides a V and an E in their names. MEVI is an intake manifold design, VTEC is a variable camshaft configuration.
Oh yeah, and to whoever said it, VTEC is not an engine, its what I stated above.

i don't think the 350z is overpriced compared to s2k. sure it may not be as nimble, but it has power to match and beat an s2k. i'm sure with a bit more tuning the z will be just as good as any s2k with tuning, if not more. besides, you won't get nearly as much noise as in an s2k. refinement with sport = the best

I think the S2000 is pretty nice but I'd hate to pay that much coyne and get shrimpy 16" rims. Plus what car can be that serious if it doesn't have 18 or 19's on the options list? The start button is cool, though.

I haven't looked at any other magazines that tested the 350Z besides Car & Driver, but the S2000 is just as fast to 0-60 as the 350Z. Both do it around 5.2-5.5 range. It takes more skill to launch the S2000 though, because of Honda's "no torque rule " If your not a skilled driver in the S2000 then you will see more 5.8-6.2 0-60s.
The S does the 1/4 Mile in 14.0. The 350Z does it in 14.1 (from Car & Driver). I'm sure Motor Trend, SCC, or Road & Track has gone faster or something. If so please post their times I would like to see them. I think the 350Z can go down the strip in the 13.8-14.1 range, but I don't know.
Just my .02
Edit: MaximaZero your definetly right S2000s are still going for $40K. My older brother has a lease on his and he would buy it out if it wasn't $40K.
I'm not flaming anyone just showing facts

i hear s2000s go for close to 40k still. hardly a bargain compared to the Z.

BTW..
3.5RL = $40k V6.
Q45 = $60k+ V8.
There is no comparison in luxury, performance, or price. But then again Honda makes an NSX and we have nothing to match with that in our country.
