Gotta go with a stick! But... Only Audis I've ever driven have been automatics soooooo I'm not much better when it comes to that haha but personally for me it doesn't get any better then a nice crisp manual.

I think the decision has worked its way down to Z and S2K, love the looks of both, have had some history with Honda before and have always been happy (and you can't forget the S2Ks gearbox!), never owned a Nissan but wouldn't mind it! The Z looks so good and has much more torque and higher hp, but also weighs more and I'm guessing it can't quite stand up to the S in the curves but I've heard it's not bad at all. This is getting tough... Wish I could get both, but I've gotta say goodbye to one to say hello to the other

i don't want to start another Z vs S debate so read this old thread to gain more insight into both sides of the argument.

well, from MY experience.....german cars are too expensive to maintain, the 05+ mustangs are slow and heavy (seen a stock srt4 rape those repeatedly), s2000's are too small for my taste and I'm 5'8, sti's are nice and reliable...although I've heard the boxer motor is a pain, the genesis are nice but the 3.8 is slower than molasses, I love my Z's and I don't think I'll part with them for a very long time but they are too slow from the factory for me (there's the biased part you were talking about).

Overall, the most fun car I've ever owned: 1991 300zx twin turbo...if you know how to work on these, buy one. If you don't know how to work on these, stay away.

Just my .02

Thanks!

Only reason I started a new thread was because I wanted to hear your opinions and ask questions I might have that other people might not have asked, I just feel it's different when you're getting responses instead of reading responses that other people have gotten.

Yeah, with German cars you're down and out if something goes wrong, and you've brought up some good points about the other cars too, some of which I thought of too and I'm mainly looking at the Z and S2K right now.

91 300zx TT Sexy car... Just wish it wasn't 20 years old... Tough to find a decent one around me, but that's such a good looking car...
