I was flipping through my copy of Rotary Rocket, a magazine put
out by the RX-7 Club of America, when I came across two articles
comparing the new RX-7 with both a Porsche 944 and a Nissan 300ZX.
Of course, I expected biased reoprting, even though the articles
were written by two race car drivers, Rod Millen and Gary
Witzenburg.  But I was surprised to find such strong negative
opinions about the 300ZX.  Consider these comments:

	"The 300ZX isn't in the same class as the 944 and RX-7.
	 Personally, I don't consider it to be a real sports car."
					-Rod Millen

	"Finally, I took two laps in the 300 ZX and got out.  It
	 felt so awkward on the track, I never cared to drive it
	 harder and go for a time.  Thanks anyway."
					-Gary Witzenburg

What about it, 300ZX owners?  Did you shell out all that money
for a cream-puff of a sports car?
