I sold my NA Z32 and am thinking about getting an S14. I think the 240SX will be fun to drive, but cost less money than the Z32 did. I test drove one and they are peppy. A little bit slower then the Z32 but felt much lighter. With a turbo upgrade it will be faster than the NA Z32. One concern that I had was there wasn't much headroom, and I'm only 5'8". The problem I'm having is that I want a 97-98, which is rare, so the prices are jacked up to the same price of a Z32. So when I start thinking hard about dropping $10K on a 240SX, its hard to justify getting that instead of a Z32. I try to study depriciation curves and maintenance costs, and think the S14 will be a better value than another Z32.
