Message Sorry, but over here in the UK/europe our handling requirements are a bit different from what you like in the states. The Z31 got a reputation for being a complete dog here... I've never driven one myself mind, just passing on the common opinion..

To quote from "Jeremy Clarksons Top 100 cars" (Jeremy is the most famous car jounalist over here and picked the Z32 as one of his top 100:

"After Nissan kiled off its 240Z, they managed to get the whole idea of sports coupes wrong for the next 12 years. The 260 was worse than its predecessor, while the 280 was worse than anything that had gone before.. including Gengis Khan. But even it was not as bad as the first incarnation of the 300. Anyone who knows anything about cars should put this in their top ten worse cars of all time... It was built for blue-rinse, fat americans so that they could amble down to the shops and convinve themselves they were young and sporty. A quick glance at their trouserwear however, would have reminded them that they are not"
