Message	that the Japanese emissions control laws require a new motor every 50,000 km. They usually end up buying new cars. Stock vs Stock, whcih is better, a 300Z TT or a 3000GT TT? I do know that that the 3000GT TT weighs a lot more... Like Sportzcoop said, that is a pretty vague question. However, I'll expound on that some more, but it'll be just my opinion of what is better. Both are good cars and both can be made to go faster. But here are my opinions: 300ZXTT at the forefront of the Japanese sports car arena classic and lasting style limited rearward visibility 2-seater layout makes a sports car longitudinal engine drives rear wheels gives seamless power delivery RWD makes racecar feel HICAS makes it a heavy car better aftermarket support functional cockpit interior design Nissan is known for better initial quality and long-term reliability than Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR-4 late to the ballfield conventional coupe styling good outward visibility 2+2 layout qualifies for lower insurance rates transverse engine inherently drives front wheels AWD chassis gives grip all around with torque steer AWD makes it a heavy car relatively less aftermarket support classic interior design (based on the original 240Z) Mitsubishi is ranked even behind Mazda for reliability issues (why do you think they teamed up with Chrysler Corp?) The list goes on and on ...
