of course.

Personally, I find twinings too light and a bit sour, but I know you love the lavender

OP is in for a nice surprise when he comes back in here. Will probably be locked by then though.

I know I'm a day late, but referencing the GT vs Sports Car comment... The Z is most definitely a sports car, however, after taking a 400+ mile trip this weekend through the mountains I feel the Z makes a FANTASTIC GT car.

I've taken trips in a C6 Vette, S2000, and various other vehicles from family sedans to pickup trucks, and the Z was by far the best companion for a long, spirited drive. The suspension, engine character, and comfy interior really made the trip fun, and for the first time in a long time my back didn't hurt like hell after driving a few hours straight...truly awesome car.

Nooooooooooo dont get him started. The Z is a slow GT car that competes with Nissan Versa and base model civic, live it be.

agreed. GT car is a compliment IMO. I didn't buy it to be an elise.

ok, let's say that with the courses you have driven, other cars you've owned.. someone from Nissan says "hey, what would you like to see added to the car?" You say __________________? Let's say power is limited only to the current NA mods, so you can get maybe 330 whp at best when it comes to power.
