Message	yet they have tainted it with ricer styling. Useless ground effects and diffusers that do nothing tangible, much less appreciable, on the street. It's odd to me because they always stated their intent for the new Z to harken back to traditional sportscars and a more "pure sporstcar" experience. Yet they do a 180 and try to tart it up with silly "trendy" cosmetics. Tsk tsk, some people just don't know when to stfu search said you suck (n/m) - Wilks. 01:38:02 09/06/06
