Overall,I agree with the posts on this thread.
Got to say that I am the old guy in this group.
Plenty of car history.The following may tell you a bit about my age
regarding our Z cars:
Bought new ,1970 240Z(Datsun)that year
Bought new,2003 350Z in 2002. Still have.95k on the clock.
Some similarities on both these cars:
Cheap materials used inside.You think the 350z had inferior parts.
The 240z was just awful.Plastic,cheap vinyl seats.Pieces cracked.
Same goes for the marketing.The plan was to offer a car at much lower price than
the competition. In 1970,my 240z cost 3,500 bucks.Alfa,Jaguar,BMW,Porsche MUCH higher.In 2003,my 350Z cost right at 30 grand.Same competition plan.I still have a photo
of a sign on the dealership's wall when I picked up my 350.
Said: PLACES TO GO.THINGS TO DO.PORSCHES TO PASS.
Bit more competition out there now. I like my 370Z. However,as a bang for the buck rear
drive car with parts at reasonable prices,the 350Z sure is a winner.
Ask any ricer.
