Message	as many Porsches do. That being said, a lot of the confidence inspiring handling characteristics can be obtained on the Z32. The Z32 chassis is underbraced on top of being a bit aged w/ worn bushings. I see your choice in engine related performance is seemingly well spent, but what's done to the chassis and suspension? Coilovers need not apply on a street car if you're going for a confidence inspired ride. Have you thought about going with Nismo bushings all around? Have you been corner-balanced? A noisy/squeaky interior can produce a negative placebo effect on your comparison as well. 1993 Nissan 300ZX Slicktop (Oxford Gray Metallic) 1992 Nissan Skyline GT-R (Gunmetal Gray) - Long Live the Z and Godzirra! - "Love cars.
