Part of me wishes that Nissan would discontinue the Z after the Z33

I will mirror the sentiments of most posters: the Z is a great car regardless of what chassis/engine you have, and even the problematic ones are still beautiful cars. Heck, to be honest with you, I was never a huge fan of the z32. I liked it, I just didn't love it. It got too bulky, and lost its sports car image, and become more of a boulevard cruiser , IMO. I was in lust with a '95 RX-7 R2.
The Z33 came out, and I was in love at first sight. A nice balanced package that had become a true sports car, particularly in Base, Enthusiast, or Track trim levels.
And to the guy who made the comment about the Integra vs. RSX, that is very true. I am still the owner of a '95 GS-R, and I still love the car. It kills me that I will be selling it, but I am selling it to a friend, so I will still get to drive it (once the work it needs is sorted out). It is such a different car than the RSX.

[QUOTE=GalvatronType_R]Not only financial problems but the Z32 was getting ridiculously overpriced ($40,000+ for the TT), partly because of the strong yen at the time.
^ I think you got that backwards. The yen was very weak at the time. The Japanese economy was in the dumpster.
I'm not a Z owner, but I really disagree with you guys that would like production stopped. It reminds me of they guys at S2ki who want the S production stopped so the car will be worth more in a few years. If Z production stops it will be because nissan is in trouble again.

Understand what you're saying though.
