Sorry but that is a ludicrous suggestion, I think he should drive both and see which one he doesn't like....
But what if he likes both
Then he should 100% not refer to this thread
As Biscuit said, I too am not trolling, I had a S2k(ip) and loved it, I now have a Z and love it as well. Now having owned both I'd be hard pressed to choose which one I want, I'm not Charlie Sheen so can't have both models at the same time
Some misconceptions in this thread though are:
(1) Torque, you can be in 6th on the motorway and accelerate faster than a HGV overtaking a HGV, the zed does this quicker though.
(2) The S2000 is more forgiving - absolutely no chance
(3) Overtaking opportunity can be gone with the lack of torque - after a while and getting to know the car its easy, see the op, down a couple of cogs and bang, my betting is you'll red line it, change and red line it again, overtaking in the S2K is that exhilarating. Also if your overtaking opportunity lapses in the 0.3 seconds it takes to clutch in, change down, blip and clutch up and WOT, then you're probably a menace on the roads
