Second... the REGULAR 3000 GT weighs 3800. The VR-4 with all wheel drive is prolly more. IMHO... start with a more nimble platform.

90s sure was the era for Japanese sports cars. Didn't the 300zx tt have 4wheel steering as well? These cars were ahead of their times

Not sure about the 300, but Skyline GTR did for sure.

My love for 90s Japanese sports car is the reason I ended up with the Z. It seems like it's one of the last true Japanese sports cars left. You could argue the EVO/STI, but the rally-esque thing makes me feel like they don't count and the BRZ/FRS wasn't even out yet to consider.

This getting older sh*t is for the birds.

I mean, i had a migraine last night. My spine decided to stop moving my legs. And you all know about the crazy upstairs

It appears sitting in a car for an hour + work for 9 hours is f-ing with my back quite a bit.

owwwwwww

Well it's not so much my spine now as it is a pain in my leg now. So it's moved from terrible to just annoying. Stay tuned...

Matter of fact, the 300ZX TT was available with the HICAS, where the rear wheels steered just a bit....oh the memories of my 91 300z, so much fun.

The above post was a song lyric. In case you happened to miss that one.

I'm just trying to amuse myself (legally) while at work.
