1. I can't afford to keep the S13 and anything else (other than the winter-beater Mazda) at the same time. If I were to move to a Z, the S13 would have to sell to raise funds. That, and there's not room on my property for more cars than are already here. Otherwise I'd keep it. FWIW, if I didn't need the money to buy something new, I'd store it somewhere for a while, but that ain't gonna happen.
2. The S13 has already been a "long-term project." I've been playing with it for going on seven years.
3. I wouldn't want to use a rear-drive car for a daily. No, it's not the frozen north here, but we get enough snow that there would be times I could not get to work just because of my own car being RWD.
I've been thinking about this for quite a while, and I haven't made up my mind, but it may be time for me to move on from my S13. I built the car first for autocross, then lost interest in that and switched to more of a street/HPDE build, but I've realized over the last year that my schedule just isn't going to permit more than a track day or so a year. Thus, I've been considering switching to a car that's still fast, still fun on the backroads, but is a bit more comfortable/quieter/etc, namely the 350Z. It's possible I could come back to the S-chassis (13 or 14) in the future but that remains to be seen. I was just looking for some honest opinions from folks that have made the switch I'm contemplating.
