Z is also about 10 grand more to buy as well (even more for the high end touring models).
You can see which choice I made... No regrets whatsoever. I wish it did have a little more oomph in acceleration, but since I daily drive this thing, I love getting 32-34mpg highway, and 24-26mpg city.

i cant help but think that neither of those bold statements are true even though i agree with the overall message. i think for what nissan intended, the z is great its pretty far from offering the driving experience of the frs. iirc, its target was to bridge the gap from these small sports cars and the more gt or high speed cars like the corvette. i think the most telling thing about the car is that its not even really that trackable considering the brake and oil issues.
