Message	This morning my boss (another car nut) gave me his copy of the February 1990 copy of Car and Driver (in mint condition I might add). On the cover: "Corvette meets Godzilla" Nissan new 300ZX Turbo takes on the Corvette Z51 the first 2 paragraphs read: Ladies and gentlemen! In this corner weighing 3380 pounds with a 250 hp uppercut, The Kentucky Killer, the main stream mauler from Bowling Green, a squeaky clean face we all know and love: The Chevrolet Corvette! And in this corner, weighing a chunky 3533 pounds, with a 300 hp jab, the Oriental challenger, the upstart built for the human race, the Twin Turbo Terror from Tokyo: the Nissan 300zx Turbo the article is very well written and entertaining ..... in the end, while the Vette was faster around the track at Grattan raceway the "Z" won the fight posting faster slalom speeds, top speed and acceleration and they did mention the better ride quality adnausium Luke Pavlick '90 Z32 Stage IV Twin Turbo Items in the mirror appear ... TO BE LOSING I want to die peacefully in my sleep ... just like Gramps not screaming and terrified like the people in his car at the time
