Message Don't bother making comparisons if you aren't even going to do any superficial research. corvette is biased towards the rear a few percent and the z is biased towards the front at least 4-5%. lighter exhaust, pull the hatch weight, spare tire and this just gets worse, unless you start pulling things like AC or moving the battery to compensate.

Modern performance cars that weigh what the Z does and have the weight distribution of the Z have wide front tires. 225 WAS wide in 1990.

How to have a good time with your 300zx:
Don't buy from AMS because it's shoddily "designed", cheaply made
knockoff garbage.
Ash makes good stuff, but don't buy from straight from ASH if you
can't deal with him going MIA. Buy his stuff from SpecialtyZ.
Don't put injectors in that aren't 95+ style Nismo or Injector dynamics
Do your timing belt when you are supposed to with oem stuff.
If a wheel doesn't proudly declare where it's made, you shouldn't be
putting it on a 300zx, and if ebay is the best place to get it, that's
concerning. Yes, I am talking
about those XXR's.
Don't put on a FMIC that isn't Tom's. That ebay "apollo style" one
causes a ton of lag and lost horsepower.

Check my classifieds. My Z is for sale.
