I have a 75 but like the front end of the ZT and the Blue it comes in.
If I had a ZT I'd likely want to put a 75 interior into it.
I'm not advocating the 75 is a better car then a ZT, just stating what I own

Oh and I am somewhat up the age bracket.
Oh, I never said I was a good track driver! Only have limited track experience.

Ive been driving 5 years and owned 15 cars in that time and was just stating ive owned plenty faster cars than my zt 190, but, despite its size, handles fantastically for a fwd.

If I was a younger man it would be MG for me all the way and the louder/brighter the better. I've slowed down a little bit and the refinement of the 75 is now more appealing At the end of the day they're both fantastic cars as are all of the connotations inbetween. You just can't lose

No.

It was a light hearted comment. Take it with the humour with which it was intended.

Hi. Not trying to be a clever ****, just wondered if you had driven a 75 at speed that's all.I never take anything serious, life is too short I'm afraid. ������

I like both and would have either.

But as I have a 75 that's what I voted for, plus I like the wooden dash
