No, you said it made your boner shrink (see a doctor: they have pills and cream for that) and it was 'moronic'. You also referenced 'most cars'.

You are right in that most cars have easier filter access.

Most cars have engines in the front, not the middle, of said car. How many mid-engined cars are on the market place again? How man are roadsters?

There are engineering trade offs to all designs. Everyone here who has turned a lot of wrenches can give various opinions on good/bad design choices for Japanese, German, or 'Merican cars. I won't even mention Italians as they just plain phone it in too much

So you have to change an air filter element every 2-3 years that takes 15m longer then the Z. Is this a reason to not own a car you may dream of and is arguably the best handling car < 75K out there?

I'm not saying you can't have an opinion...it just has more weight when its an informed one with concise and logical paths.
