good thing you sold it when the "value" was so low. great sale!

I agree. Motorweek had a huge bias towards American made cars in the early 90's episodes. They seem to come full circle somewhere in the late 90's. What more could you could expect from a PBS program from Nowhere, Marlyland?

Me too.

The styling is better, that's why. Elegant rather than lumpish.

@@blisterbrain So elegant in fact, that Lamborghini borrowed the headlights for the Diablo.

It's a wonderful car, I own a 92' 2+2, every time I get in and drive it I smile like an idiot.

keep dreming

Underpantsniper other than the prop rod and the seat belts, there's pretty much nothing wrong with this car! =)

+Underpantsniper From all the cars I've worked on, I rather go with a cheap prop rod than those expensive gas shocks that only last a couple years.

+Garry Koalman Exactly, cannot agree more with you,. Nothing wrong with a rod, it will last forever while the gas struts ALWAYS collapse.

+Philip Koen I've actually never had a problem with the gas struts on any of my cars. I prefer the struts in fact. I think it makes the car look more expensive

+illstplaya So you prefer struts that you only see while the bonnet is open above a rod that will last the life of the car because it makes the car look more expensive? That is exactly what manufacturers want, they trick people with lots of unnecessary and impractical gimmicks that "look good and expensive" but ad no real value or comfort to the car and will not last. This is one of the reasons why some vehicles have such bad resale values, a lot of this "expensive looking" things are not working properly a few years down the line and it makes the car look worn out. A few night ago I stopped at a fuel station and there was this guy with his Audi checking oil or whatever with the bonnet propped up by a broomstick, the collapsed struts did not make the car look expensive but the stick made it look quite tired. I prefer things to work properly above "to look more expensive" A rod will last the life of the car while the struts will definitely not last the life of the car. Different strokes for different folks.

if you really wanted one that bad you'd find a way to buy one, trailer park man.

Pristine ones are still out there. I just bought a 90 NA Z32 yesterday with 73,000 miles on it, always garage kept and meticulously maintained.

This comment is underrated, much like corvettes

The Corvette is so common that using it as a benchmark is easy.

Well he owned or owns Corvettes.

Because all these cars are wannabe Corvettes

earnedmystripes I understand your point but it just comes down to being ignorant but it's true a lot of patriotic Americans didn't buy foreign cars because of the war.

How do the NA autos Drive kind of on the heavy side

Acc0rd79 370z is the best car I have ever driven

Acc0rd79 I saw a kid in his 20s driving a red one just the one in the video. Yeah, that car hasn't lost any of it's sexiness.

+Thomas Bradshaw Listen again, he said the gauges are illuminated from the back and the NEEDLES of the speedo and tach light up.

checking in the for human race here

Elementary performance driving…. They should be ashamed of themselves

maybe it's hard to repair in your shitty Spanish country. have fun playing in the mud es bueno

cadsux yeah and then they were like $50,000 new in 1996, probably like $80,000 in today’s currency

Yeah but the 370z is no 300z

Why would they, the C4 was obviously the """"better car"""" despite being 7 years older... GM was paying them. Motorweek was rigged in the late 80's early 90's.. That's the true price of PBS ('Public Broadcasting Service')

yeehaw! basically you're saying I grew up in the rural south. Enjoy your truck!

Ed Bartek it wasn’t out at the time

Yes. This car has character and personality like no other Japanese car.

agree don't know if motor week is still biased but.......John Davis is annoying AF still to this day

Mr Nick John Davis is great

BoostedAP1 : except Porsche, John loves Porsche’s. 928 his favorite car of all time, per his own words...

Not that weird if you develop a car for the Japan market then have to import to North America. In 1991 the z32 received an airbag. I think that's pretty common sense? NX was a 'kinda' different sentra chassis, give me a break.

@@rrod555 Are you 10 years old? Both cars were intended to be sold in the American market where passive restraints were mandatory beginning in MY 1990. The manufacturers knew this. To install an airbag in an economy based car and door mounted belts in your flagship sports car is weird!

yeah, drive it today, and you know why it was so expensive :)

Aaron Trozzi well the turbo wasn’t out yet

Why when GM was paying them? Motorweek was rigged in the late 80's early 90's.. That's the true price of PBS ('Public Broadcasting Service')

unusable rear seats, extra weight. great thought process my friend.

Yes. Now buy a ford focus idiot.

+hartsickdisciple There are so many variables, temperature, elevation, track condition, driver ability etc.. So, 9 times out of 10, you won't see a "best case scenario" acceleration time.... Still, 7.8 is nearly a full second off the best time I know of, so they must've had some pretty poor conditions at the track that day! Haha!

bliglum Bad driving for sure. 0-60 and 1/4 mile times are largely dependent on 60-foot (launch) times. Weather and other factors won't add up to more than a couple of tenths at most.

hartsickdisciple You're trying to say that if the same driver launched a car on a gravelly track, and a 95° day, at 6000 feet of elevation. It would only be 0.2 seconds slower than on a sticky track, with cool weather, at sea level? Not sure I agree with you there.

bliglum No respectable publication would do a performance test in the conditions that you mentioned. If they did, they would mention it in the test. Let's be reasonable here.

hartsickdisciple I dunno man, I just watched their 94' Mustang vs Camaro comparo where they had to throw the caveat that it was an especially hot day, there have also been times where they had to mention that their track was especially dusty. But they do what they can
