Just remember that weight/power ratios aren't applicable to autocross. The
Z may be faster in a straight line by a little bit, but the extra weight
will be the normalizer. Momentum courses might favor the S2k. Stop and go
type courses might favor the Z.

I haven't read the article, but I find it hard to believe a 350Z could
compete with a 911 or Z06. I think BS is a good place. My 2nd choice would
be FS.
