Message Is driving it. That car you are looking at sounds pretty attractive, 94 is a good year due to the fact that the fuel injectors are not susceptible to a failure mode that results in frequent injector failures. Blue is a rare color and so it won't look like every other Z32 around. My first Z was an auto, which at the time I thought I did not want. I was 13 years older when I got my second Z32, a 5 speed, at that point I was starting to see the benefits of an auto. As far as turbo vs NA, if you are going to be using it as transportation, I personally would recommend and NA for a first time owner unless your goal is big peak HP. I drive my car 365 days a year and have driven over 400K miles between my 2 Z32s, both NAs. I never really think about converting them to a turbo. From what I have seen, few with turbos leave them stock, once you start building, you could end up with a nice build, or you could also end up putting so much money into it that your reluctant to drive it, or you become disillusioned and sell at a loss. Not saying it is not a great hobby and good fellowship among the TT family. I just want to provide a counter point to any peer pressure against NAs, which after all, are great cars to drive. And also, a great way to eventually get into a TT, if you want one, already knowing much about these cars, their idiosyncrasies, and what make a good one vs a bad one.
