Message If you look at the 0-60 times of most cars of the '60's and '70's they are slow by today's standard. Even the best "muscle cars" are in the high 5's and worse. Don't expect a 30 year old car to perform like a current "muscle car".

However, people enjoy these cars for what they are: attention getting classics. At least the Z32 handle better than these cars. Just compare your car to other sports cars of its time. It handles better and is more attractive.

I would keep it, drive to shows and on weekends and enjoy it for what it is.

Here is a link to look up the 0-60 times of classic muscle cars. Even with these acceleration numbers they continue to increase in value and collectability. Acceleration is not the only thing that makes a car collectable.

On a side note, I sold my 44k mile '95 Z32TT five speed last year and purchased an SL63. The SL is much faster but I still miss my Z32. I would have kept it but I don't have adequate garage space.
