BTW.. the 370Z (which you'd have to compare the 86 to) is double the price!
Pity no ragtop?
Funny how autos can be seen as sacrilege in a sports car.

Probably get hounded for saying this, but if I was to get a 370Z I would probably get the auto - the manual and clutch is too brutal and heavy for me to enjoy driving - especially as you are concentrating enough to see out of the bloody thing. Maybe the one I drove was a bit abused but it was a chore.

The lighter and more simple 86 would I bet have a very nice light gearchange and clutch.
