The legend of the 350Z will be crushed when the next GTR is released. The Z32 car is exactly what it is, an overly heavy, PITA car to work on, with an oil problem and a flow problem too. The Z32 Fairlady as it is know in Japan. The US S series cars are slow, but handle very well, all the need is the original SR heart back, and it's twice the car the Z32 is... If Z car was such a legend then why is the Silvia and the GTR chosen over it for competitive racing? The only place where the Z is considered a heavy hitter is here, where the GTR isn't, where the Silvia isn't. Nissan will never design a car that is better than it's flagship, the GTR.
The GTR is also AWD, and doesn't look as good as the z.
Sorry, I'll take my rwd z any day. Sure, if I could have a skyline I would, but if I had to drive one car for the rest of my life the z32 would be it.
Every car has it's problems. So does the skyline. If there was a perfect car no one would ever have different preferences. I'll never have the fastest or best-handling car in the world, but I'd be content with and all-around car like the Z.
And all of you who whine about working on the z need to grow up. Half of you are just repeating what everyone else has said.
