Modern Exotic sport car handling and comfort possible in a s30?

[johnc]

We cannot forget safety as well. The S30 has none of the safety features of modern cars.

 

Well, yes it does:

 

1. Collapsible steering column.

2. Reinforced door bars and door jams (280Z).

3. Controlled crush zones front and rear.

4. Padded safety dash.

5. Padded steering wheel.

6. Safety glass.

7. Rollover anti-spill fuel tank.

8. Dual brake circuits.

9. DOT side market lighting.

10. 5 mph bumpbers (280Z).

11. Engine and trans designed to move down in a head on impact.

12. Lap and shoulder harness (intertial reel in the 280Z).

13. Reinforced seat backs.

14. Anti-whiplash head rests.

15. Seat mounts designed to move inwards in a side impact (280Z).

16. High strength steel in the roof structure (280Z).

 

And that's just items off the top of my head that are in the S30 and modern cars.

ok... I got a little too general there ehh. Obviously there are a ~few~ things the Datsun has that a Model T did not.

 

I have an E36 M3/4/5. It is quiet and the radio sounds good. The handling is fun. Power is decent. heated seats and dual zone climate controls are nice. The ride quality is harsh.
