Owing 12K on a non-vtec integra is rather steep, if you can get a better deal on a new Nissan, I can't see any reason to not go for the newer car.

That said, a Z will attract just as much attention as a built Integra, if not more.

Owning a sports car means that idiots are going to try to lure you into a race. It's just a part of life; you have to either put up with them or find a car that isn't as "visible" to those jerk-offs.

Personally, I'm really getting tired of the exhaust note of the Z. To my ear it doesn't have any soul. But then again, I hear it on a daily basis. :a:

If you wanted to cruise about and not have people rev at you, I'd turn in the Integra for a loaded 05 Maxima or an Altima 3.5. You'll still have the power of the VQ35DE, but in a package that is relatively anonymous.
