NISMO Traded-In!
Just wanted to express my gratitude for the many interesting posts and terrific insights gleaned from this site during the past year.
While the Nismo was a joy, it was time to move on.
I strongly...

Having owned, modified and tracked a 1988 911 Turbo Targa, I have extensive experience.
I was fortunate to own seven 911 models (4 Turbos) before retirement. Frankly, the stock 1986-89 911 Turbo...

Mustang 5.0 V-8
I have experienced countless number of V-8 engines both domestic and foreign ever since my Dad brought home a new 1955 Chrysler 300.
None in recent memory have impressed me as much as the Mustang's...

Before we lament the end of high-powered cars, remember this was the overwhelming opinion of most "experts" in the late 1960s-early 1970's. A combination of insurance concerns, smog controls and ...

Advice
You would do very well to send your son to a Driver's School.
As a parent, I purchased both my son and daughter new cars (325 IS) after they both completed their freshman years of college-each with...

In years past, not only was I a member of the NSXCA, but served as Instructor in 2 club-sponsored driving events.
I forgot to mention, the NSX seats-despite minimal adjustability-were the most...

What?
Having owned, modified and tracked three NSXs, very little information discussed on this thread is correct.
It is necessary to understand the NSX's handling was limited by small tires. The 1991-93...

Disagree!
Sorry, Rob, but with all due respect, I must disagree,
I do not call the vile-handling litft-throttle oversteer "intoxicating" or "the driving experience second-to-none"". And, as previously...

Yes, it is fair!
I mentioned my stock 1988 Turbo Targa as a previous poster compared his track-tuned '88 930 to a 370Z.
In addition, several posters from earlier threads expressed interest in purchasing 911s from...

Curious!
Having driven "The Ring" twice (Euro E-36 M3 and 911 Turbo), just curious how previous posters estimated the Z's lap times?

Must Disagree
With all due respect, I find the seats in my Nismo to be atrocious. Undoubtedly spoiled by the sport seats in my NSXs and 911 Turbos, I find the Nismo seats lack proper lumbar and under-thigh support...

Incorrect!
When the NSX appeared in the US as a 1991 model, what cars were superior in performance? Not the Ferrari 328/348 (it wasn't until the 355 models did Ferrari equal or surpass the NSX). Not the 911...

RE: NSX VS. Nismo
I previously owned, modified and tracked 3 NSXs and am the current owner of a 370Z Nismo.
On average, a stock first gen NSX (91-96, 270 HP, 5 speed) was typically capable of 13.7s @ 105-106 mph,...

It was not my intention to "brag" as you suggest. I merely attempted to describe my 46 years of motoring experience to qualify my comments. I have driven many of the so-called competitors to the Z...
