Mmm, on the aspect of interior design: The 'feeling' that you get when you sit in the driver's seat of a 300zx and a 370z are completely different.

The seating position is much lower in a 300ZX, which really enhances the perspective of speed - sh*t just seems to fly by much faster. And all of the controls are at the driver's fingertips, so it really feels like a driver-orientated cockpit. When you look out, into the empty road ahead, beyond the flared front fender to your left and the sloped center console to your right, you really get the sensation that you're probably going to get home either really quickly, or the next day after spending a night in jail for a myriad of automotive mischief.

The 370Z conveys a much different feeling - simply, it's just better refined. Don't get me wrong, it still has this 'speedy' feel, but far less than the 300ZX; the latter reminds me a lot of my C4 Vette...

Hands down i'd choose a 370z over a '90 2+2 NA 300zx.... i mean, without even thinking for a second. Especially with that tweed interior
I think I mentioned it to you at a meet before, but the titanium key can wear out the pins in the ignition lock... so really not an advantage, per se (though pretty cool; the design of the key is really cool, too).

And total agreed on a 2by2 NA - but a 2by2 with a TT swap? It'd be a tough call, man.

Truth.

I pretty much just leave my Ti key on my keychain for my DD, and have a normal key with the remote for my 300zx for if i actually take the car out. I just keep the Ti key as a keychain and like to have it handy if i need to get something out of the car on the way out of the house.
