Default Test drive

Today I am going to test the following:

350z
S2000
Z3 M coupe
Z3 M Roadster
1999 M3
RX-8

Will report back later with results. But in the meantime, any pointers on things to look out for. All these cars will be slightly used <30K miles.

I'd skip the 350Z and replace with the G35 much nicer interior appointments and nicer body style IMO

Default We don't know yet, maybe Nissan will make a GT-R version

And there are regular R34's in Japan that are no faster than the G35's we have now.
