Message	very well and speaks to the handling gains with the HICAS and without. The Z with HICAS still competes with the best sports cars/supercars in Slalom test. 71.9MPH! thats fast. That ability is in large part to the HICAS. Why remove it? ...an experienced driver who races may prefer the traditional handling characteristics...but the cars ability to handle quick transitions will be lessened if you remove it. Read the article, it will answer your question. [ [ http://www.photodump.org/stored2/300zxarticle.89.pdf ] ] JoneZ 90' 300ZX TT
