Call me old and nostalgic but the newest rendition of the Z, Supra, and that BRZ thingy don’t impress me at all. I’d be more interested reading a 90’s shootout between the 300ZX, Supra, and Stealth/3000GT.

I had a 300zx Stillen way back then, not much could touch it, had a ball embarrassing my M3 and AMG workmates. And I reminded them of the extra $35k that I didn't have to spend.

It would be a sloth by today's standards. A late model 4 banger turbo Camaro could eat a 300zx for lunch.

I would still love a 300zx to take to a car meet every once in a while, and cruise through lake shore on the odd weekend. Obviousely if you find a good low milage one, it shouldn't be a daily.

If it were about speed, nothing beats super sport bikes in terms of speed/value.

The high school kid filled it with 87.
And there's this from the link:

Furthermore, he said that of the roughly 20,000 supercharged LT4 variants of the Gen V small-block V-8 the company has sold to date—in the C7 Corvette Z06, Cadillac CTS-V, Camaro ZL1, and now the CT5-V Blackwing and Escalade V—ours is the first and only such failure.
 
I like how he paid 182k for a car sticker of 113k.

Let’s assume the 182 is tax in v the 113…still a large premium for a paperweight.

Plus this is rare. Just big news because it’s the new Vette. Every manufacturer has lemons.
 
My MK8 GTI hit 5000+ km this week.

So far only two issues have come up. Issue one, wireless Apple CarPlay GPS glitching and the only to fix it is to restart the car. Issue number two, the car intermittently thinks there is no key in the car which causes the alarm to go off while I am driving!

Averaging 500-530 km right now (~9.5-10 L / 100 km)

This is a huge improvement compared to my experience with the GLI
 
Not a sports car or a fast car, but really fun to drive. Pulling up to the pumps to refill puts a grin on my face every time
