My buddy just got one and it is quick. Make sure it runs good because they are hard to work on. Nice cars.

I got to test drive it with my dad, and yes it's QUICK, infact to quick, I was suprised... never drove a car that felt soo... hmmm Powerful!
it only has 107,000 KM's which is not much, its a 5 speed.. it was owned by a 48 year old man, so I doubt it was beaten up! I can get all the paper-work, but I still don't know if I should ditch the Corrado!?

Just to let you know, even if you already might know $8,900 Canadian Doller which is arouund 4-5 Thousand American Dollers, I think...   hmmm, well My corrado was 8,800... and this is alot faster, same year... alot better, but not as rare IMO.. I have been told im getting a great deal! I seen a 96 Nissan 300 ZX TT for $29,995 Canadian the other day! they have really good resale value I just don't know weather I want to get rid of my little corrado!

Um 16,900CAN = ~11,000USD and it has 48636 miles, so yes the 94 is a better buy, but not that much better.

That's a really tough choice man. Consider this though...you know all about your Corrado and you essentially know nothing about the 300Z. Yeah, the dealer might tell you about who owned it before, but they'll tell you ANYTHING to sell you the car. If it were me...keep the Corrado. You're right, there are fewer of them around. Besides, you'll HATE that 300Z the first time you have to do anything to it.
A similar thing happened to me six months or so ago. There was a really nice '98 Z28 six speed with low miles that I could have traded the SVT on. My payments would have barely went up and I would be going a lot faster, but I had to consider all the facts. My 'tour may be high mileage, but I know where it has been. Much more scarce too.
Good luck either way!

I say go for it...
When I dyno'd my SVT there was a local group of 300Z guys. Most of them dyno'd 360+ RWHP with bolt on's. One with a JDM motor at 385 RWHP and one well worked over that put down over 400 RWHP!! Boost! Trade in the Volkswagen!!!
