The only important downfall is that it is not as popular as the 240sx or corolla, which are mostly seen. In drifting a downfall of one fr car is not as important as another. Remember drifting is not a race or an event for only one type of car.I have seen a truck at chicago drift events, civics and integras, dsm, and z's from all generations. So I don't think there is any downfall with the z32, except for the driver.
