My mates just got one, manual 3litre v6 twin turb! He let me have a go in it, oh my god, impressive! Big car......cant believe how low down they are, feels well weird after driving the corsa!
He put 30 quid in, so 25litres, maybe a little more and he got 100miles out of it! BUT he had only just got the car.
I dont like the look of them, but the performance is good!

if your going from a lightweight fwd corsa to a heavy rwd car i think your gonna find the handling a lot worse than scott did as he at least went from a cavy to it,, couldnt say about the insurance bud sorry
oh and remember if its a jap import chances are its been clocked whilst entering the country so take the low milage with a oinch of salt,,iv seen far to many so called low milage imports that are obviously ripping the pish
you drive a nice corsa so i cant figure out why you would fancy a 300 i did a google search to see if they look better in pictures but nope still aint feeling it- http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2508923385938305780&q=300zx&pl=true

Theyre pretty heavy and sluggish. The 60-100 time is pretty good however.

I remember when they were new and sssssssssssso advanced.
The stereo shop next door to our workshop was doing an install in a brand spanking new red one with tan leather in 1990/91.
It looked like a sodding space ship.
It was the new company car of one of the directors of Kiss FM, and 'twas like nothing we'd ever seen before, and we were a Porsche garage.
Was pretty much a 1st to have a seperate amplifier unit for each cylinder rather than conventional plugs.
Remember nearly falling over on being told that they should last 100k miles, but cost over 60 quid each (that was when a set of plugs for a MK II Escort was less than four quid), and it had six of 'em.
