Working here at Z1 I get to work with and drive both sides of this arguement. My wife and I own 2 Z32's and love them. I will never sell them because they have so much sentimental value to me.
However, we BOTH want a 370Z. In terms of handling right out of the box....370Z wins hands down in my opinion. As far as tuning goes, the 300zx TT will yield a much better ROI in terms of horsepower per dollar spent. The catch to this statement is that the 300zx is getting so old, you will have a few grand tied up right out of the gate in basic maintanence. This does not event consider repairs, paint/body work and the headache following the realization that most parts for the Z32 are already being discontinued.
Each Z model has their own appeal. I would like to get my hands on a 240Z, as well as a Shiro Z31 someday...and I would not mind having a NISMO 350Z.
