Okay mah friends I have a question for my brother, I hope y'all can help....
My brother wants a sportscar, and try as I might, I can't convince him to get a 914 - he's been a muscle car guy for a long time, and eventually got tired of it and switched to small sportscars (like me and the 914), HOWEVER, instead if taking the wonderful road to crusty - rusty - leaky - squeeky P-cars, he, uhh, I can't even say it... He wants a Nissan 300Z..... sigh He's a bit older than me, and has had a 280Z in the past, but now has found a 300Z in Ohio. We're in NY, so how does he buy it and drive it back home? Are there temporary plates, or temp registrations? If not, we'll have to use my Jeep to tow it back from canton to Rochester. He said he'd pay for me gas, but that could cost more than flying there and driving it back. I've actually driven his 280, and it was a well-sorted out car, and real fast too, and the 300's that he's looking at (V6 5 speeds) look real sporty and modern (compared to a 914 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) ) and the one he wants is actually a cool car. Any opinions on the 300Z's? Is there anyone here from Canton who may be able to take a look at it for him? He's already driven my 914, and likes it, but it's a little too 'spartan' for him. I guess he wants to have a car he can just get in and drive instead of working on all the time - what fun is that?? Sheesh.. |

Well, I can tell you from experience, and you might want to pass this info along to your brother. the 280 and 300 Z cars were fun and fast to drive, just dont hit the brakes over 100 MPH or you could wind up losing control of the car. I have seen several of them that got in high speed runs on the freeways and if they had to stop fast, something about the suspension and brakes caused the car to veer out of control over 100. Dont know why but have talked to many people who have them and they say the same thing. They get squirrely over 100. Good luck with it.
