Also, the RX7 had leather/vinyl in "those" places.

Regardless, the 530i had an awful interior; nothing to sing about.

RX7, not even a close call. It is the only car to hold title of fastest JDM in the 280ps era other than the GT-R and NSX, when it got the bump in horsepower but before the release of the NA2 NSX-R. The entire design philosophy of the car is superior to the 300ZX. Even in the 255hp or so version it was competitive with the rest of the 280ps class, which the 300ZX sat near the bottom of. Its not a knock on the Z. That car was designed to deliver performance for the money using mostly conventional methods and some high 80's era tech. That is not the same as the RX7 which is really the culmination of many proprietary Mazda developments. The rotary engine had inferior power delivery but you got the best turn in of any front engine car in the class by far and great cornering speed considering the wheelbase. Its one of the few cars I would gladly accept the downsides of forced induction for.

Having owned a couple of FD's, they're great cars and I'd still own one if they weren't such a pain for upkeep/maintenance but I'd take the Z32tt. I have a 91 Z32 that was originally NA but we did a tt swap and while Z32 have their own set of quirks and aren't easy to work on it has been pretty rock solid and it's 500-600RWHP depending on boost settings etc. Also, I love the t-tops and the Z32 hooks up incredibly well.

Hearing you cry racist smacks of some story about a wolf.

Yes, about a wolf who used derogatory terms, such as Jap, etc. - much like what you've said in the past. Yes, only a "civilized" person would want leather in those places; however, "uncivilized" people, like the Japanese, whose nation consistently has ranked 1st and 2nd in the world in education for the past couple decades, would want carpet in those places (to save money), or opt for leather for more money. His statement is completely stupid. And the interior of the 530i looks like vomit, compared to the other cars'.

Step you have made a number of racist comments and some have been removed. You are hardly one to criticize others for stupid comments. You have had more than your fair share of those as well.
Ironically I agree with you regarding the 300ZX and I must say I wasn't impressed with the interior of that BMW.
BTW, why did you change user names? Or perhaps the better question is why are you afraid to tell us...
