I am HUGE fan of both Nissan and Cadillac, but for me, Nissan always comes first. While I love the idea of a car the size of my 3d gen Max making over 500 hp (and rear wheel drive with a 5 speed), I get a real sense of ownership-pride when I see all those Nissans (5, sometimes 6) parked in the same driveway whenever my family gets together for anything. It's really hard to beat. I say go for the Nissan. Unless you can afford (or get them to let you drive) a CTS-V or XLR-V--wait no...you can't get one of those yet, dammit. In that case...well good luck making any decisions at that point.It also seems to me that Nissan owners have a sense of community and kinship that I have seen in only one other auto makers owners (that doesn't flow well...stupid English language): Lotus.So go and buy a 1990 Stanza Wagon and pimp that **** like never before!!!!!

Aw come on now, you should know me better than that! I'll change the sig. You know, no one has said anything to me about that until now. I really just had it there to see what everyone would say. For the record, Michael Moore is an anti-American, socialist asswad. I never need to meet him.

We took in a nice '04 Vette with a 6 speed the other day. It could be mine for 35k. :D

Finding an s13 that has a solid underbody seems to be a challenge lately. Keep an eye out for me!

I knew you hated him... thats why I had to comment on it. I also couldnt agree more about him being an anti-American, socialist asswad. Since I was the first to notice or say something do I get a prize :D lol

I've thought about that. I've seen a couple around here for sale, but I'm afraid it would make me want a 350Z, which I just don't need (the urge, not the car). My dad had a new one in '79 if that counts for anything, lol.

There are a few here in Louisville that will beat my 350z in the 1/8, 1/4, and on the auto x!

Hella Fun to drive and ride in. The best part is you can pick one up pretty cheep.

It's quite possible. You've seen it.

The 280 would be sweet, but I don't have a place to work on it on an ongoing basis. One of the baddest 280's I've ever seen was in BG at the GS Nationals. It had a Buick Turbo 6 and it was hella fast.

Yeah I here ya on space to work on them! I have seen everything from a TT Q45 motor to a S/C LT1 in them. Really great platforms for motor swaps.

Good Luck bro'
