Why didn't Nissan bring the S15 to the states... <sigh>, call me crazy but I'd rather have that car than the Z.

I've driven both, repeatedly, back to back. It's too close to call from inside the cars.

Past 100 it's all s15, but the s15 limits boost in first, and is slower to shift. I'd put my money on a well launched S2000 to 100, just.

The s15 is an outstanding car - it's hard to see why the 350z commands a premium over it. I need to pay how much more for a heavier, less practical, uglier, poorer handling, harder to modify etc

Slow round a track though, but beautifully controlled while sideways.
