  1. How fast is a stock Z really?

    It's interesting that a few factory engines these days, with high-output, are engineered far more robust than engines 50 years ago. Emission qualifications and warranties have something to do with that. Then there is the handful of racers that don't like the engines grenading on track days. Add...

  9. Michelin PS 4S - Worth It?

    Your dealer doesn't care about your tire experience. The factory tires are largely chosen based on tread wear, noise, and cost. 90 percent of drivers just drive the cars. Spirited driving terrifies most drivers. Seeing classic muscle car owners driving white-knuckled, turning 90mph, 15 second...

    Nissan made significant promotion of the Shinkai green. Even painted preproduction cars. Now the color is in limbo.
