I had a 1093 280ZX Turbo. Everything. announcing it was a Turbo. I became good friends with the Mass State Police. 1991 & 1993 300 ZX Twin Turbo. Greatest car I ever owned. 2009 370 Z, added twin Trbos and a bunch of Z1 stuff. Very quick. 2024 Z Performance with NISMO upgrades. The 370Z is still quicker. The Z transmission has given me grief from day one. None of the other cars ever gave me grief on the manual transmission. Any 300ZX twin Turbo for sale has a HICAS that doesn't work any more, more's the pity. I Loved it. Left turn, RIGHT NOW!!.
Beautiful car. Tech wise was ahead of its time when released. Nissan was top dog in the 90s.

Every 300 TT I look at, the HICAS is turned off. I loved the HICAS. Z1 says you ant get parts for it.

2025 Z Nismo, 370Z Nismo
240Z Specifically ’72 or earlier with dome-top SUs. (Snip)
BTW the white 240Z showing the iconic shape is ā€œKittenā€ which I restored. L26 (from a 260Z) but with dome-top SUs, 5sp & R200 diff. So the engine & drivetrain has been swapped. It’s a bit of a mutt, but the entire red interior is original… fun to drive and faster than the 240Z, but not at all fast by today’s standards.

When I was 18, Ihad my first car, a 1500cc MGA Coupe.. It was amazingly quick. For me in 1963.
Now, any econocar would blaze by it.

This is opinion based question ? Everyone loves what they love. I think the 240 is the most attractive Z. I do love the 350 and 370 and 300ZX too.

Love the nostalgia and classic look of the 240 for sure, I appreciate the car but never considered buying one. Back when I was in high school I was in love with the '90-96 300ZX, I came close to buying one a couple times over the years but never pulled the trigger. 35 years after they hit the US I think the design still holds up better than some of other performance cars from that era.

I didn't have the best experience with my 350z (bad transmission), and the interior/stereo was just awful, but I was proud of her for beating a modified E36 M3 on a few late-night empty highway pulls *in Mexico*. I also really liked the first-gen 370 Nismo, but the timing never worked out to own one.

The RZ34 definitely has me hooked right now...it checks a lot of boxes for me, I love the blue interior and with the mods I've already added plus the ones I'm curently working on, I think I'm going to be really happy with the way this car comes together.
This car is pure joy to mod 😊

I was already making a plan and shopping parts before I signed the paperwork and left the dealership, lol. Since then I have gone over that initial estimated budget substantially :LOL:
I had a Type R FK8 and was so fun to mod as well. I would stare at 370s with desire šŸ˜, when the RZ34 was introduced I said if I get another car it will be a 2 seater with the Z badge. Glad I did. Love it

The latest one is my favorite. I've been driving cars since the 300ZX was new. I've seen and driven most of them over the years, but the last gen is the only one that got me to cough up money and buy one.
