Hey guys,
I'm new here, and I want some advice on a MINI. For my new car I am considering purchasing a MINI or a Nissan 300zx, and having my fun tuning each of them up. Considering this is a MINI forum, I am looking for some MINI support. Tell me why the MINI should beat out the 300zx. Looking forward your thoughts, and opinions.

Well, you're sure on opposite ends of the spectrum, but I like your choices as both cars have long lineage / heritage and are absolutely solid performers

Are you a track day guy? Show & shine guy? Looking for your car to say something about you?

When you say "beat" by what measures?

So depends on what you're after ... I respect both cars on the road course, but they have very different handling characteristics ... what is your driving background - FWD or RWD.  Heavy FWD experience will def require some adjustments when driving a RWD towards its limit

I'm not going to say the Mini (assuming you're talking the "S" model) is better than a 350Z nor vice versa, as it depends on what your after, what you're used to and your driving style ... have you test driven each yet?
