*****He's right, it's not. It has become a slick Japanese Corvette
	imitator that is oriented first towards luxury and last 
	towards handling and performance. It's soo bad that this
	comparison is actually an insult to the new Corvettes!

*****He's 100% correct. I have driven this car on a race track,
	along with many Porsches, Formula Fords, etc... The rear
	end suspension (standard Datsun sedan type) makes that
	car so hard to handle on a race track that I would take
	an old rear engine Porsche *any day*. It so much easier
	to drive that the ZX. This was not true of the older
	240-280Z series. That was a very different car.
