I agree with Epstein here. They had a turbocharged (and/or AWD) version of damn near every car they made back then.(I guess this is why japenese people like nissan's so much?) I never really understood why japenese people love nissans more then any other japenese manufacture. Kind of like the way people used to like chevy's and fords over here.Chevy used to have a sporty version of nearly every car they sold as well , from the mid 50's right on upto the late 70s, but now they just have nothing besides bland/boring commuter cars and trucks (aside from the vette , hopefully the new camaro will fill in a void here) But is this the direction in wich nissan is choosing to go , or should i say Renault ? I mean , no more tubocharged Z , no more GTR's (who knows what they will be like when they come out , i certainly hope they won't be watered down). I never understood their late 80s and 90's buissness practices here , I honestly believe they would have better off financially if they would have bought over the S13/S14 closer to the way they where in japan (i.e. SR20DET,CA18DET's e.t.c.). Atleast they wouldn't have to make so many diffrent versions of the same car....
