Default u sure ud put the vr4 awd 3000gt in LAST place? the 300zx is basically an american muscle car hidden

behind a nissan badge...fast in a straight line - im pretty sure the 3000gt could out handle it all day long.

Default this is a silly question but how manyof these cars has any of you driven

and was it in the same conditions(track)...I dare say the if you have not driven all these cars and in the same place, it would all be speculation.

Default Are you sure? What type of handling? The Supra is a pretty big pig

As is the 3000gt.. S2000 behind the Supra, 300ZX, S4? W0w.. And an Mcoupe behind those, I thought that was "the" fun car..

Eric, please look over your work and make any corrections that you see fit. I will grade your work, only after you make your own corrections

I was with you for the first couple, then BAM! You went to lunch

Default ive driven s4 and s2000 and ive got a graphic that road and track did a couple years back that

compares the:

3000gt tt awd
supra tt
rx-7 tt
nsx
300zx tt

so its not all speculation. the 300 came in last in slalom if i remember correctly, lowest Gs as well. i may be wrong tho - ill send u the graphic come monday when im back in the office (its on that comp, not @ home)

Default even so, in the same road conditions, same tires?

granted suspension is car specific, but tires are not, any car will feel like crap with bald tires. U see where I going, none the less I grant you more validity than others that have not driven them. Plus I assume its a disscusion for fun, but everyone knows that what I have brought up will come up eventually in this type of discussion.

Default but you cant compare your experince to their graphic

scientifically this comparision is un fair. For ****s and giggles then anything goes anyhow. there is no logical way to determine unless Road and Track added the two cars to their test as well. At that point could you then say that you can compare all the cars as all the test subjects under go some what of a controlled experiment. There is still the factor of tires. And everyone knows that tires count for alot in handling. Wheels to some degree too. The factor of weight , and widths come into play. All the science Jargon is no good unless you have a control group: track, tires, and wheels.

Default of crouse with your background, I agree that you are validated, but in

science terms unless all the cars under go the same test with the same equipment(tire, wheels) it would be difficult to truely judge, but again I have already validated your statements by regonizing that you have driven them all. I dont dispute you rankings, I dispute the science behind this discussion...but like I said in my post under redlines. Its just for ****z and giggles )

Default S4 handles better than the S2000? NO way.

The S2000 is no lower than #2 on that list.
