With an ECU upgrade and bolt-ons you can run 11's, plus, they're rediculously reliable- I never had a single problem with mine. Meanwhile, my VR4 barely ran 12's and spun a bearing and the transmission was notchy and liked to grind gears, like every other VR4 I've driven. My VR4 had less than 100,000 miles, and my Z had 123,xxx when I sold it... original motor/trans/turbos.
Only thing the VR4 has on the Z IMO (other than looks, which can be subjective) is that on the VR4 it's MUCH MUCH easier to work on.
-Also other than the superior reliability and horsepower:
- Z's interior is much nicer than the VR4's, leather vs. leather.
- T-Tops rock.
- Handling seemed better.
- Better gas mileage (as dumb as it sounds)
- Cons: 300ZX's are priced about 10,000 bucks vs. VR4's 5-6000 for a great condition 1G or 8-10 for a 2G.

Sounds like you had a real peice of shit VR4...like many of them are..
The Z's do have better stock hardware in respect to making power no doubt. A friend of mine had one pretty well built and i still smacked it silly in my 93 every time we raced.
The interior is terrible dated in the Z, they are ugly, t-tops suck and the handling feel is better in the Z but the grip is far superior in the VR4. If i wanted a Z, id just get a Vette and have a vastly superior car in every aspect.
