how fast, how heavy, how good/bad of handling, why so money?

hey guys:

i know there are a million posts about people looking into getting a 3kGT, but i have a few questions:

as of right now, i own a 1998 nissan maxima, in which i am looking to sell. i am not too sure in which new car i want to buy, but i have always wanted a 3000gt. but i just can not get over how much they cost! i was wondering why they cost so much for an older car, with alot of miles on them.

also, obviously i would like a fast car, and that is part of the reason why i am selling my maxima. it only does the 1/4 mile in the mid 15's. 0-60 is around 7.4 seconds. the weight is 2900 pounds. i know the 3000gt has similar stats, but i also know that they weigh a bit more... does anyone know the actual weight?

now, along the same lines... the VR2, has the twin turbo right? is that significantly (sp?) fast then the N/A? do you know the times for the TT?

How about stock handling? is it good? body roll, understeer, whatever you can think of. and thats about all. if you can think of anything that will sway my opinion either way, they please post it. thank you very much.

first off as far as price goes, have you even looked at simiar cars? 300ZX, Supra, NSX. They are much more expencive.

The times, base 91-96 and sl 0-60 around 7 1/4 around 15
base 97-99 0-60 in around 8 1/4 in 16's
vr-4 0-60 in around 5 1/4 in mid 13's / low 14's

wieghte base 3100
sl 3300
vr4 3800

the vr4 is twin turbo, AWD, AWS
base and sl are FWD non-turbo

stock handling with all models is good, slightly better with the sl and vr4 becuase of the electronicaly controlled suspention
