I Dream Of “Z”nnie - LA Canyon News
UNITED STATES—Which exotic super car did you post proudly on your bedroom wall during your adolescence. Was it some Italian masterpiece capable of draining a gas tank almost as fast it drained the average flash-in-the-pan celebrity’s wallet. Was it a quirky German engineering marvel designed to showcase why the Autobahn is where it is. Maybe it wasn’t a car at all. In fact, if I were to plaster the walls of my bedroom with posters today, what would be on them. Being a rather nostalgic fellow, I tend to long for things that were desirable, yet realistically attainable when I was a newly licensed driver back in the 1990s. And, yes, I am a gear-head, so my posters would surely feature something on four... This was a great time to be an enthusiast of affordable sports cars. It was, therefore, a great time for Japanese car makers. Thanks to market-conscious companies like Nissan, the idea of possessing Porsche-challenging performance for roughly $30K became a reality. Because Nissan execs feared the ad would promote street racing, they ordered it be pulled shortly thereafter. They wanted this car. What was to commence from this point on could be considered nothing short of an all out performance war between the Japanese car makers. Source: www.canyon-news.com
