The Nissan Z-Car has always been a curious case, much like a dog with a bone too big for its mouth. It started out with a roar in the 1980s, proving those so-called experts who ‘couldn’t see more than 50,000 GT sports coupes in a year’ were more blind than a bat in a cave. But oh, how the mighty have fallen, like a comically overweight bodybuilder trying to do the splits. The 300ZX Turbo, once a jock with muscles to match its bravado, was outmatched by the nimble Mazda RX-7 and the muscular Porsche 944. It tried to keep up with the Corvette, but it was more of a ‘try’ than an ‘actually keep up’. And let’s not forget the braking, a misfit in a world of performance cars, as unexciting as a Sunday morning with no coffee. With its turbo lag and numb braking, it’s a wonder anyone ever managed to put one on the road without the aid of a GPS. The all-wheel steering? Sure, that was a novelty, but in a market dominated by the Miata, it was more of a ‘cool feature’ than a ‘sale-saver’. Nissan, you’ve got to stop making cars that are as exciting as a static electricity experiment. Why? Because the world is watching, and it’s laughing at your ‘potential’ sports car.
