Unfortunately the Z is no longer the halo car, hence Nissan not putting as much "QC or engineering" into it. The GT-R cast its shadow over the Z, unfortunately. The Z32 is my favorite Z of all time. I think it was ahead of its time, but also expensive for its time (about a $60,000+ car in 2014 dollars). True, the R32 Skyline was out then too, but it was limited to Japan, Asia, Europe and Australia.

The Z33 and Z34 are nothing but a pretty (the Z34 at least

, RWD shell with a long-in-the-tooth VQ V6 that was sourced from the mid to late 90s Maxima. Gorgeous car, but needs a little bit more refinement...But like the saying goes, you get what you pay for.
