20 Greatest Cars: April Automobile Magazine!

Just in case you guys haven't already heard. There is yet another automotive mag award to add to the list. The Z32 is still the cover story of a major auto mag. This time it's named one of the greatest cars ever (well at least in the magazine's history). Considering there are only seven true sports cars mentioned, this is quite flattering. The category even included SUV's and Minivans. Of the seven, two are Ferrari's, two are Porsche's and ones the new Z06. You guys might want to pick up a copy. The article will make you proud.

technically, it was being developed in the 80's. so i'm sure there were prototypes more than 17 years ago if you want to get all technical about it.

Yeah you'll see alot more Miata's at the local autocross then you'll see Z32's Well now I can add "You're buying a piece of automotive history" to the list of perks of owning a Z32. My wifes just about ready to buy one. Maybe this will put her over the edge

Don't forget the "You're about to buy a car that's a raging pain in the *** to work on" to that list as well

That's a risk SHE is just going to have to take. My wife is actually quite good under the hood. She doesn't know the first thing about trouble shooting but if she needs to replace a part she'll get in there and do it. Then afterwards she goes to get her nails redone .
