The 90 was a great car and I regret selling it every single day as it was a lot more aggressive than the first gen 300zx and had some of the best styling out there. Plan on purchasing a twin turbo whenever I get the chance again.
I have to agree with Ghostrider the 280ZX and original 300ZX were not sports cars, they were Japanese "personal coupes" as they used to say. Everything was soft, seats, responses, acceleration, suspension.

Hmm, suddenly this all sounds familiar....

I always rooted for the Rx-7 in the comparison tests.
