I still love both cars though...

I've only had my Z for about a month now and as soon as I got it i fell in love. Its a drivers car. It's tricky to drive and it takes a bit of skill and balls to push it to its limit. thats why I like it. Since I've bought mine one of my friends bought a wrx and one a brand new evo. The Z is the sexiest of the tree and gets the most looks while we're out hands down. I get in those to drive and it feels like im driving a toy.

Some excellent points you guys bring up. It's nice to see things from a different perspective as well.

I 100% agree that the engineers accomplished their primary performance goal - but is that goal expecting too little?
Yes, Nissan couldn't quite the decide the target market for the car. The business side of things definetly impacted the car negatively.

Maybe it is me and I've outgrown the car. I can't ask too much for $30k.
In the end, it is what Z car has always stood for - a poor man's sports car. Or looking at it differently, a helluva sports car bargain. Can't fault it in the areas it's lacking.

He said that your brakes have accidentally been rerouted to a PW Nismo owner in the area. Please check ebay section shortly for reserve

the driving feels like making sweet love. i drive it hard even to the grocery store and i feel like im in a fighter jet cockpit when i sit in it. i have an experience every time i drive it. stop letting road noise bother you. the z is an excellent platform and a true sports car.
