    Alright. Well it's a Grand tourer after all, not a track intended car.

    Btw. what do you think makes the difference? Between a Porche and a 3000gt at the same weight and hp?

    At this point, these are in no particular order because I can't possibly rank these.

    Honestly I would take any of them but the 300. Never liked them. No personaliy, lines, and too boxy.wedged. The rear looks decent, but meh!

    Help them, for they know not that which they do not know!

    Nothing in any particular order, but cockpit, seating position, gearing, sound, snugness...

    As far as looks go, the 3/S is the only one that doesn't need a body kit to start looking really good. Just dropped with wheels and it looks awesome from all angles. Barring NSX, all the rest need a body kit or at least bumper change to get the complete look.

    Stock or wheels/lowered: 3S > Supra > 300ZX > FD

    Supra's boring from the front, 300zx ugly from the front, FD screams boring Miata from the front...mainly front issues.



    Getting into body kits, all the others take very well to kits. 3S has never once looked right with a body kit to me.

    With body mods: Supra > FD > 300ZX > 3S

    About a week ago, I dreamed I had a complete Euro conversion sitting in the dining room.

    I woke up SO DISAPPOINTED! I didn't even realize how much I liked it.



    It looked better in my dream

    communication. A 911 would be a much shittier car if it wasn't for it's steering feel and precision. That and it'll accelerate and brake better simply due to weight distribution. If you ever get the chance, take a p-car for a drive, you don't even need to rail on it to understand what I'm talking about.
