But, then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right?

That's what I thought, too, about the engine. I don't really NEED nor WANT a quad-digit HP rating anyway...it's just a little TOO much. I always thought the brakes on the TT Z were amazing to begin with. All the cars have amazing brakes. PLUS, you can swap on GT-R breaks.

The Z's real downfall in my eyes.....it's weight. ~3500lbs. It's a heavy bitch. That kinda confuses me cuz it's not THAT big of a car. It weighs only 100 lbs less then a Camaro SS Convertible. Weight is fixable though, so it's no big deal.

The combination of adequate performance potential, BEAUTIFUL body, a very affordable price these days, and good general performance makes it for my dream car.

Thanks for the link, man.

agreed, i think the z is probably one of the best designs to ever be put out by a car manufacturer. the 90-96 models that is, i don't really like the new 350z yet, but i'm sure it'll grow on me.

I could not agree with you any more on that note, can't believe how long i waited for someone to finally admit that.

My Z weighed 3940 Lbs. when I took it to the scale when I bought it. The lady at the state registeration said she had never seen a Nissan that weighed 4000 lbs.nI was shocked , too.

I think the clean (functional) lines of the Z just aren't what the younger guys want. They like the fins, wings, fake grills, and gills like on the 3000gt's. Being older, I like the fact that if it is not fuctional it's not there on the Z.

I really don't think 5% of the drivers out there can out drive the stock brakes on a Z. I thought it was very funny how many people opted for the track model of the 350 because of the brakes as low power as the car came with. RealiZing the weight should make it competitive with the T/T of old. Should, I said. The only time I wish I had better brakes is when the detector goes off solid and you are at 100. Nose dive time! I don't think the Brembo's would help then even.

I agree with you on the part that younger guys like things with wings and stuff, that is the EXACT reason im in love with this car, it's so unique that it doesn't need a wing, looks perfectly exotic stock.
