That's a gorgeous car. I think the Z32 and the FD are the two prettiest cars to ever come out of Japan. I helped my g/f's brother get a late '90 model N/A with a 5-speed for $2k. Awesome cars.

It seems to be everyone's opinion. I myself have considered owning both. I even tried to by an FD last year. There was one here in H.S. that had a rebuilt tranny, turbos, and a custom leather interior for only $9k. It sold 2 hrs. before I could get there because of my job. I now am self-employed.

It seems to be everyone's opinion. I myself have considered owning both. It does seem to be the shared opinion around here but on other places that are non-dedicated like arimport, Z's aren't very well respected from the active posters. I got flamed MANY times for posting up factual, true informatoin/accounts and I was shot down by people like spdmini and twotonefreak. They don't really know much about it but they repeatedly felt the need to attack me. Anyway, if you're ever considering a Z32, let me know as I'm well plugged in to TT.Net and I'm SURE I could locate a good Z for ya.

I'll let you know if I do. I borrow my G/F's brothers alot when it is nice outside. I love the t-tops and the roar of the VG30. I just need to get rid of my 240sx and my GTU first. Then I can think about it. As for, Spdmini and TwotoneFreak, they are just a-holes and pick random people to give a hard time. I think the only reason they did'nt do it to me was because Drewgrey is one of my best friends.

Yeah, what really set them off was that I said a good running 300ZXTT should walk (or atleast be dead even) a stock LS1. Spdmini said he raced one with exhaust and he had 4 people in his Camaro and he destroyed it. I was like...that guy probably didn't know how to drive or his TT wasn't up to snuff.
They also just absolutely could not believe that I ran with 2 different LT1 F-Bodies. I know I had an especially strong N/A and I drove it very hard. I had raced an auto with intake, exhuast, pulley, ALC II and I put 2 car lengths on him in teh 1000 ft. So I know my Z was a bit quicker than average especially for just intake. But those guys were jerks and just tried to make me look stupid.

Matt the 4th picture showing the REAR of ur car looks really crisp Thanks. It's probably my favorite and eventually, I'll probably use that one for my sig since it actually has all of my vehicle in it.

Yeah, I must say you have one of the cleanest Z32s I have ever seen. As for the TT being slow, my best friend in his S13-SR coupe raced a TT with stock turbos and it pulled from him on the expressway. Now the SR only weighs 2400lbs. and was dynoed at over 242hp in the summer. He ran a mid 10 in the 1000ft. on a stock turbo, open diff., and stock wheels. Now he has my SSR Longchamps, SO3 Pole positions, and a Nismo LSD and he still cant outrun him, yet. So, the TT's have to be pretty darn fast since Spdmini ran a mid-10 and twotone ran a high-10. All of the vehicles are modified so it is hard to tell, but a stock TT should at least be even with a stock LS1 if not tear it up. All the mustang guys talked crap and laughed at me in our WRX. Once I stomped a couple in the ground they finally opened their eyes. Maybe the same will happen to them one of these days.

I totally agree. Also, keep in mind the TTZ has 3.57 Gears and is a highway monster. Your friend would have a better chance in the 1/4 mile against it.
I ALWAYS wanted to race a WRX from a roll in my Z32. I've heard mix opinions/stories on N/A's vs WRX from a roll. Being a WRX owner, what do you think?

WRX's really are'nt "all that and a bag of chips" in a straight line at high speeds. They are very solid like a German car but they are pretty heavy and are'nt very aerodynamic. A N/A Z32 that is not running on it's last leg, like my friends, would be extremely close unless the WRX had quite a few mods. The aerodynamics and the wide stance of the Z32 would definitely help give it an edge. Now from a stand still or a wet road... we wont get into that . Stock you should own them, but on the WRX a few little mods can go a long way.
