Actually, it was Mitsubishi that built the Zeros.
Anyway... don't get me wrong; I like what Nissan used to be, and Nissan later may be great. But I do believe there are better manufacturers out there. I say that this car isn't one to be a purist about because it doesn't have as extensive of a history as other cars do (although it does have
some race history). Instead, most of its background is based around its use in a sport where anything goes.
Give me a 510, a 240z, a Skyline, an M3, a Porsche..... etc. Those are better candidates, in my opinion, to be a purist about (if you'd like).
However we're going off on another tangent.
I like both motors, however I've never been in a nicely running tuned KA-T (Evan
