Message	I realize this post is pretty much useless, but I wanted to share my feelings anyway. Let me start out by saying that I've been drooling over Z's for about 10 years. I probably have more hits on this site than any other person who doesn't own a Z. I just graduated from college and finally test drove a Z today. It was a '95 NA with 58,000 miles. First thing I noticed was how extremely little room there is for the right foot - something I've pointed out and laughed at countless times in my friend's Camaros. How could the designers make such an annoying design error in such an upscale car? Doesn't it bother you guys? Did you all get used to it? The second thing I expected - the car felt slow and really heavy when driven conservatively. I didn't want to get on it too much, but it did pick up pretty well from a roll. Maybe these aren't very big issues on the most beautiful car on the road under $70k, but they are both pretty significant to me. Enough so, that it looks like I won't be getting a Z32. Now, don't get me wrong as I'm not writing this to get anybody upset. It's just my opinion and I just wanted to share my disappointment. Sorry for the long, useless post and enjoy your rides. I'll keep visiting this site for the great pictures, videos and witty commentary.
