S2000 vs. 335

Hey guys,

I own both. My S2000 is an 04 with the updated engine with about 15k miles. I can assure you that the 335 will walk away from the S2000 in pretty much any situation: stop, rolling, 55+, etc. If you work the S2000 HARD you might be able to get 0-60 in 5.5 seconds or so and the quarter mile in mid to upper 13 second range. The 335 will do better than that without much drama. In my S2000 I have outran numerous G35s and 350zs. I am convinced that the average 335 driver wouldn't have trouble with G35s or S2000s, at least until that new G35 coupe with 500hp rolls out next year

Now if I could only figure out how to make the damn 335 shift into 2nd in a hurry while I am getting on it. I am used to the 6 speed in the S2000 (which is WONDERFUL and fast) but the 6-speed shifter in the 335 is much more balky. When I shift it slow, it is perfect but when shifting fast, it has missed the gear entirely two different times so far.
