your favorite z

You should rephrase the question.... with the older Z's...

The S30 240Z/260Z/280Z are all the same cars, except larger displacement's (2.4/2.6/2.8L) and minor interior modifications.


but 280Z all the way.. since i drive one.

I agree, 280zx is the best older z around!

I drive a 2+2 5spd and it hammers off the line.
I live in Aus so we get alot of people driving their shiny new holdens (GMC) but when you kick their ass in a 20+ year old nissan it sure is something to be proud of!

Nothings faster than a 240z with a V8

but seriously I thought that out of the old cars the 240z was faster because it was lighter than the 260 or 280 but im not positive

My vote is for the 72, yes the early ones were faster than the later. The early ones also had smaller bumpers that I prefer. This doesn't mean that I wouldn't like to have a rust-free '78 or '83(the '83 would have to be equipped with a turbo).

I think the 240Z is the best but in sliver.

Can't beat cubes plus boost , and the rumble of a 3.0 V6 with an open exhaust and 252 cams is indeed the stuff of wet dreams. I regularly walk on all manner of V8s and other turbo cars up here , so I'd go with 300ZX , myself.

240Z....It's a sports car in it's purest form and doesn't try to pretend to be anything else. It also started the whole sport compact revolution.

Z31- not just b/c I have one, but b/c I have wanted one for so long! The 87-89 is the sexiest car in the world
