For me a better car isn't always better.... I see an RS4, M3, C63 AMG all very lovely German boxes which are quick version of some very dull cars in my eyes where as the Zed traces it's heritage back to the absolute stunning 240z which at any car show turns heads for the right reasons. You can see styling takes in the 350z and 370z of the classic and the Zed i think is a way more special car with a much nicer sound track plus a great owners club too.
