Unbiased review from one of my racing buddies.
I am not going to preface this at all. Read it and judge for yourself. One note, If you want to see more pics click here and not the link on the spyderchat page (Not a lot of bandwidth at the imac pages):

Quick Question
Thanks for the link, nice to see an unbiased opinon.
On a technical note.
It appers from your posts that you have a very in depth knowledge about cars and racing them..
Since you have your Z already, I was wondering if you or any of your friends have hooked up an OBDII scan tool that can read any of the manufacturer's (Nissan's) enhanced parameters. I have an upgraded autotap on it's way and I'm just curious if I will see anything other then the OBDII standard stuff...

Funny thing is; I AM A HORRIBLE PASSENGER!! But, I never let it show. When I am not in control of the vehicle, I feel like we are going to crash at every corner! I am sweating like crazy, but I just smile. That must be how my wife feels all the time!! LMFAO

Yeah, to me my Spyder was always a bit funky looking, but it's stellar handling made you forget all about that. Problem was, I could never forget about the car's lack of power. The chassis was capable of handling so much more.
Enter the Z. The Z has all the motive force it needs in place. Handling is pretty decent out of the box. With a little suspension development, I think the Z could approach the featherweight Spyder's handling. It's much easier to try and develop the Z's suspension than it is to get more HP out of an MR2 Spyder and that is what has moved me to a Z.
