RE: why we love our cars revisited

<x-charset iso-8859-1>Dude, there must be something wrong with your scirocco! The Z cars are much
heavier, and they are pretty damn inelegant. I love the fact that I can toss
my scirocco into a corner........ Try that in a Z car :)The older 280zx's
are not that bad.... but still a scirocco is much lighter and more graceful

Do you think so?  I've had 3 Z's ('73, '78, '93) and I think my Scirocco
would absolutely SMOKE either of my early Z's in the handling department..
And, the 0-60 times on the 240's was in the high 8's or low 9's.. again
a 16V (particularly a 2.0.. :> ) will smoke it in a straight line too.  Only
place you get into trouble is a high-speed freeway flog, as the Z with
it's ultra-tall gearing will eventually eat you up..
