If you beat your Z, and neglect the maintanance issues involved with owning a TT, you are inviting trouble....If you have been able to keep your N/A clean and in good running shape, owning a TT is not much different. You'll just need to learn how to care for your turbos and that's a snap. I've got 122K on my '91TT and it runs strong with no problems. Take your time to find the right car and you will be much better off than just jumping on the first one you find. You could do yourself a BIG favor by driving 6-10 other TTs to get a feel on how they drive/handle....Then you'll know the difference between a car that's in good shape and one that's been beaten to death. Try to find a Z the has all the previous owners paperwork and maintanance documentation, so you'll know EXACTLY what you are buying. Having the paperwork will help you if/when you decide to sell the car as well. ;-) 1988 300ZX / 1991 300ZXTT ZCCW, NWDE, VIDE, Northwest-Z, NWN Moderator on Z32 Portal, United Kingdom "So they get a plane and just as they're about to catch me, THE TWIN TURBOS KICK IN!"
