Cayman...... The magazines say it's more direct-feeling than the 911, and is more confidence-inspiring on tight roads

Yeah I know, you think it's kinda "downscale" compared to the 911, but weren't you the one who gushed over a 1-series BMW awhile back?

Just sold my Titan because it felt like it was made of graham crackers and jelly. Plus it left me stranded twice in a year. O V E R I T

Congrats on the pickup! Always liked those things.

I've heard a lot of complaints about Titans, something about oil burning IFIRC.

But anway yeah, Nissan's quality level has never reached Honda or Toyota's, but it's still better than American or Euro IMO.

The materials were the worst of any car I've ever owned by a long shot. It was garbage. Things just snapped off all the time. The engine was nice. The Avalanche I have now is far nicer, just can't fit two sportbikes in the bed.

If you get a GT3- I'll visit Austin and trailer my car down. We can run the track. I'd throw everyone on this forum off a cliff for a GT3 or a GT2 cup car.

I'd do it for a good cheesesteak sandwich.

I'll make it into that category of car once my daughter is out of college....until then, I'll put some money into mods for the Z....put 2 grand into a sound system today...just for fun...haven't had an aftermarket sound system since I was rolling my '69 Camaro in high school.

Next up, CAI and exhaust...I think I'll leave forced air alone for a year or two.

Uh, I HAVE a 1-series I love it. Love, love it.

While I am in love with the idea of a GT2, GT3 or GT3rs for the sexy beasts they are, we are looking for something a bit more cool, like a '73 with a modern rebuild, current engine, brakes, suspension.
