japcarsbrett Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I had a supra for 2 years i sold it this year in January and bought a 350z and i must say after going from a twin turbo supra at 450 bhp to a 350z i'm vvvveeerrrryyyy impressed with the zed and i don't miss my supra at all which shocked me as i wanted one for 13 years! lol So when i sold it and was looking for a 350 i never thought i'd like it as much as the supra but i really do love the zed so i would recommend getting the zed from a previous owner of a supra. heres a pic of my supra "]http://[/url] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japcarsbrett 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. I had a supra for 2 years and sold it this year it never cost me a penny, it passed all it's mot's with no advisories if you get a good one which is very rare as it took me over 2 years to actually find a good one and buy the right one which is pictured above, which paid off as it never cost me anything, but the only thing is i would say do what i did and get an original one that hasnt been ragged to heaven else you will keep then spending money on it to get it right, but one like mine will keep going on forever with no issues well if you look after it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Very nice old motor there japcarsbrett. For me it has to be the Zed. Looked at a variety of cars before buying mine including the S2000 as well as R32's, S3's and more but just found the 350 to be the better all round car. Luxury, speed, good looks ~ ticks all the boxes for me in what I was after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

japcarsbrett Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 haha snap well yours is a bit different to mine lol but least i'm not the only person on here who has owned a supra, but i still now after owning one prefer the zed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japcarsbrett Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 and if i had the choice of another supra like i had before or another zed like the hr model i'd still hands down go for the zed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodoo Vix Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Never been a fan of the S2000, we have a zed and a supra, love them both but totally different cars, the zed is probably better as a daily, but you can't compete with the turbo kick from the Supra 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Level 7 Boss Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Depending on your budget, I'd also consider. E46 M3 Z4 Couple/Z4M RX7 Integra It all depends on what you're looking for. Power up the rev range - S2000 Torquey engine - 350z Tuneable turbo - Supra. GT4 is also a good shout. Guys at Japex have one, and it does look great.

rtbiscuit Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 having owned 2 out of your list of 3 and driven both on road and on track i would pick the S2000 everytime but its at this point you need reminding that car choice is a very personal thing; whats good for me, may not suit you. you need to go and drive all three and then make your own choice. i could spend ages trying to sell you on the virtues of the honda over the nissan, but if it doesn't suit your driving style then its pointless task Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 I've driven the supra and the s2k and been out for a passenger ride in a zed lol. but still think as above the zed ticks most of the boxes. and also vodoo, please dont post pornography on the forum.. haha, makes me sad to think my collection will never be that awesome Deffo still hunting for a zed! Not forgetting i have just sold my honda turbo, which was more power than an s2k although front wheel drive it still got the massive kick what with being 295ish bhp. in a car weighing just over a ton but it was just past my time i think, something newer and fresher like a zed makes me smile at the thought of owning one.

coldel Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 That green supra has been up for sale for about a year now...awful car! But they do look good I saw Vix other halves supra at a meet last year, breathtaking car looks better in the metal than the photos might show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SurreyBob Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Only got the Zed yesterday so can't really comment properly on that yet (love it though). I had an S2000 for a couple of years. Great car. Manic when you get the revs going. I found it extremely tiring on the motorway and very twitchy in the wet. The other problem I had with it was in order to get any performance at all you had to really nail it. That's great when on empty roads and having fun but can make life hard work the rest of the time. A very good car though with a split personality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol sorry Bradders! This is the full fleet That green supra has been up for sale for about a year now...awful car!

samsniss350z Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 IAN, My comment was borne out of fact as opposed to 'hearsay' I have driven all 3, regularly, mates have owned the Supra & S2K and it was driving the other two that helped in my making my decision to buy my Zed.

Ian Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Driving them on a "regular" basis will give no indication on how to live with them on a daily basis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S2K if you're a hairdresser and like to rev the nuts off out of it to get your power. 350Z Wins hands down. I find the haidresser comment from a 350z owner very ironic. Just cos it has a v6 doesn't stop it being a girls car. Anyway it seems the op has made his mind up so the point is mute anyway. Peoples opinions will always be biased. But hairdresser comments just show you to be an automotive philistine 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
