-Bradders- Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) I've really got my heart set on a 350z, but had a look at similar cars in the mean time, if you had a choice of which car, what one would it be 350z Toyota supra twin turbo s2000 ? By similar i mean price range lol Edited April 10, 2014 by -Bradders- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure all cars have pros and cons. Edited April 10, 2014 by Leosille Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 350z hands down, why would you look elsewhere ?. Payco 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 I've seen a few s2000's on here, i've not had any lol so any insight is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 If I want a sports car, I'd buy the S2K. If I want a GT, I'd buy a Zed. If I had to have a turbo, I'd buy the Supra. All three are on my list for my next car. I still keep coming back to the Zed though, purely because it excites me in a way the others do not. That doesn't make it better, or my choice the correct one, but there's something about it that ticks my boxes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 yeah thats how i see it, i like supras, thats my ultimate life goal car, but they're just past that age where things get a little too old, the s2000's seem nice, but they just look a little outdated to me but i like the way honda's drive. but then the zed just looks sexier, not as quick as the supra but quick enough, but then theres not much power option with the Zed unless you have deep pockets lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatooandy67 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) From my own experience I can only comment on the zed as I currently own one and the Toyota as I have previously owned one. I would say for the price range you have then you need to weigh up condition, mileage, practicality, drive ability and a host of other considerations, drive them all before you decide Opinions may be biased here as it's a zed forum but ultimately you have to live with your choice Edited April 10, 2014 by tatooandy67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Zed wins on all them factors lol. i've owned around 10-15 cars since i was 18, im only 24 now and they have always been old but i've bought them to their former glory lol. i just feel maybe i need something a little newer with some comfort lol.

AliveBoy Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Supra. I wanted a supra instead of a Z but couldn't get insured. Now I have too much money in my car to sell it. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the Z, I've just always wanted a Supra. One day I'll put a 2JZ into the Z and have the best of both worlds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 snap! i've loved supra's since i was about 13, but the one i ideally want, is going to cost me about 15k for a standard unabused, 6 spd manual 3.0 TT areotop lol all that spec in one is like rocking horse @*!#.

Husky Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Celica GT4 ST205 But then I'm biased. 4 seats, 4wd, easily tunable, pretty cheap, plenty of spare parts, comfortable and lots of wooshy sounds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

370Ad Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I grew up wanting an MR2 T Bar turbo or Supra TT. But unfortunately when I got to an age where I could afford one they were too old for a daily. I am sure kids these days admire the 350 but it might be the same scenioro when the have enough cash to buy one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only test drove a couple, maybe as an owner you can have more fun. The Zed definitely felt like there was more room and more presence. The Supra would be awesome, I would love one of those but nearly all are auto (so factor in the cost of a manual conversion) - having spent a bit of time on forums before getting my Skyline it seems people are going the way of buying un-thrashed NA Supras and fitting a turbo i.e. an NA-T. Seems like possibly a better route especially if you like building stuff. As for my current car, it is STUNNING, great power for my requirements (currently sat at 280 with a little fettle will easily be up to 330), dropped on BC racing coilovers and various strut bars in place makes it handle miles better. Four seats, decent boot and it has a glove box - and that turbo noise, oooooh so addictive, ticks all my boxes haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetpilot Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I think the Supra is a bit of a red herring as to get a really good one it is probably twice what you would pay for a nice 350 or s2000 and at that point i think there are plenty of other cars i would prefer for the money.

nowhereboy Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 The Z is the best all rounder from that list, it just depends on what you really want from the car. I find the Z is a good comprimise between having the looks, decent power and most importantly reliability. I've got to be honest tho, as much as I love it I still feel envious everytime I see an evo/skyline/supra driver, I'd rather either of them cars any day of the week and if you've ever been out in a mildy tuned one you'll know what I mean. Way more thrilling than a Z in my opinion. I bought the Z as a comprimise between performance and reliabiltiy but as much as I love the car I very much doubt I'll still have it by this time next year.

Of course I wont be pointing out that its something like 100kg lighter than a Zed OP Reliability wise, you have no concerns over the engines on the Supra its more that the rest of it lets go first. And remember, zeds are 'common as muck' nowadays 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I have had a TT 6sp supra running around 480bhp, it was a handful!!!! Awesome car, but the slightest hint of rain and its ass was everywhere! The TT engine is silly strong, same as the gearbox, but the weight distribution is not that good compared to the Z. Own a Z now, it might be the fact that its less power, but I do prefer it. I disliked the s2000 when I test drove, felt very claustrophobic with the roof up and disliked having to rev the hell out of it to get it go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb55 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I love the Supra always have but dont you all think they are getting a bit long in the tooth now ?? A bit too Eighties for me im afraid. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsniss350z Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Supra if you want to spend a lot of money and keep on spending. S2K if you're a hairdresser and like to rev the nuts off out of it to get your power. 350Z Wins hands down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
