Message The Z32 is a nice car and has excellent performance. No matter what you have to love the car but, GET REAL!

The Z32 is not anywhere as fast as a C5 (stock) of the line 0 to 60. No matter what anyone wants to believe the C5 will toast a stock TT hands down.

I know love of the Z32 is great because what Nissan produced for the US from 1990 to 1996 but we also have to be realistic as well. The Z32 at best is rated at 5.2 0 to 60. Some even have it as slow (relative term of course) 5.4

On the other hand the C5 is rated from the factory at 4.8. and test after test will prove this figure all day long. It also will fry a stock TT in the qaurter mile as well.

If you did race a C5 off the line and beat it 5 times I can say with absolute conviction that either the car was a lemon or the driver did not have his heart in the race.

There is NO WAY a stock TT can beat a stock C5 otherwise!!!

As for PurpleZ, if your looking for a great car with the looks and performance of great GT racer then get the TT. You will always be able to make it faster with modifications later and you won't have to pay 35 to 45k for it either.

If your looking for a nice late model true racer then get the C5. It will be pricy but in its stock form it is faster then a Z32TT, Supra TT and RX7TT (all in their stock form) no matter how many stories you may have seen on the net or anywhere else.

This is the hard truth that some just can't live with but, the truth non-the-less!
