^^Amen to all of that^^

Jake, I'm quietly stashing away funds so you can upgrade my 87's 3.2 someday.
Took my 99 out yesterday for a blast thru the countryside and that Flat6 Stage 2 3.6 was a-screamin!

I do understand you very well... indeed life is too short to trade it for stuff that does not really matter at all.

Eddie, I am building a 3.5 Nickies engine for my '88 Carrera now, I'll build you the same combo if you'd like :-)

Didn't get to go fishing, all my damn worms died and my fish are too smart to bite anything artificial. Must be something in the water :-)

Yeah, but even the Yeti masters know to put TWO holddowns.

Walkers cars ugliness is only exceeded by his personal appearance. He might be regarded by some as some kind of great Porsche builder but all the cars Ive seen look like crap and are nothing special. Just old track cars and such.

Tighter, Edgier, Faster, Quicker.
Nice not being a CAB.
Steering is tighter, more responsive.
370z a bit heavier in the front. Getting use to.
P-car is less aggressive driving. 370Z has a very aggressive feel.
P-car transmission is better but getting used to the 370z's.
370z grips the road better, no over steering.

Very fun to drive. SPG: Smiles Per Gallon

Yes but its just another Nissan. When they stopped making the 300ZX, the uniqueness of the Z cars was lost.
