omgosh is an unknown quantity at this point
Go drive a Z at a buy here pay here or something. They are cheap now. You shouldnt have a problem getting behind the wheel..

In my opinion, if you want an S13 but want something a bit nice but not quite a Z , get a nice S14.

A stock Z is quick, but feels sloppy under braking and cornering. There is no room inside at all. It has a stupid high belt line so even at 6'1 I feel like Im sitting in a giant bathtub with no visibility. If you have to do any engine work on it at all, kiss the skin of your knuckles goodbye. You have to take the entire front end off the car (headlights, bumper, CORE SUPPORT) just to UNPLUG the a/c triple pressure switch and replace the a/c dryer.

An S14 with $2000 in suspension/brakes/wheels/tires handles like a dream compared to a stock Z, has 4 seats, trunk, room, visibility, you can work on it no prob... looks better IMO.

S13 coupe is cool but so old. Its a bit harder to get one to good condition but basically the same as S14 with cheaper parts..
