I had an IS350 too and wanted a switch... (the usual reasons wanted to drive stick again, wanted a fun small car, etc.) Ive driven both a g35coupe and s2k before, wanted the s2k.
I searched for an ap2 s2k for a while... In the end couldn't find one I liked, and got a much older car than I expected... a '92 NSX

In ethics, the s2k is a fun car to drive. But sooner or later you will find out that the car is too small, not roomy, small luggage compartment, looks is kind of bland.. Therefore, G35 comes to mind, looks good, more space for the legs and the cargo, nicer amenties. Although, there is a debate between the two in speed. They both are fast cars but you will get this and lose the other.
I won't consider a G35 because unfortunately, I hate that car with a passion
. I tried to like it but the exhaust is annoying and everyone and their mom has one 
. Handles decent, but I want the S2k for its handling abilities. I view the G35 as a halfway between the GS and S2k. I might as well go all or nothing

I'd take a 92 NSX over any year S2K, anyday

04-05? imo, the best years. torque of the 2.2, cable throttle, ap2 styling. gl on your search, i'm jelly.
and if you're hauling something big, top down. problem solved.

I'm enjoying it very much!
Two Vegas trips so far with it, so much fun, and lots of luggage room. In ethics, the s2k is a fun car to drive.

For a person in the market for a 2 seater roadster, The Z4 / Miata comes to mind...you would assume said buyer would compare cars similar to what they are looking for (i.e. S2000). Not a bread & butter entry level luxury coupe.

Sup James!

You are comparing Apples to Oranges. Two completely and utterly different car classes.

This is irritating. It's been sunny for the past few days...PERFECT condition for having the top down 
.
Oh yea, another reason why I didn't consider a G35 is because I wanted a convertible. Living in socal, it's a waste not to drive one.
Still searching for one, but I may have found a decent s2k. History checks out fine, now I just gotta go check it out. It's a 2005 Red on black with 110k miles. Mileage don't scare me since I work on my own cars. I'm hoping it hasn't had its timing belt done yet so I can haggle down the price even more.

Hey Henry.
I saw this on prime when I was reading your post.
It's in GA though. Maybe you can have a CL member check it out for you
It is nice to see a car in person to check it out though.
