How Many Zs have you owned prior to the 370z?

I'm 45 years old and I have owned quite a few cars in my life (over 50), but the one car that I have always loved is the Z .

Default How Many Zs have you owned prior to the 370z?

I'm 45 years old and I have owned quite a few cars in my life (over 50), but the one car that I have always loved is the Z. My 1st car was an 81 280zx turbo back when I was 18 and joined the Marines. Loved that car so much even though it was horrible in bad weather! Total Zs owned are:

81 280zx turbo (Automatic) Totaled
88 300zx (Automatic) Traded
03 350Z (6 speed) totaled on 2/26/16 with 195K miles and only major item replaced was the clutch at 110K. Basic maintenance after that.
83 280zx Turbo (5 speed) still own
10 370z Roadster

I know we all love the 370z but did anyone own a Z before that and if so, what was it?

I'm 20 years old and have owned 26 cars. Last year I purchased my first Z which was a 2004 350z. I purchased it in May 2015, totaled it in November the same year .

I recently just purchased my second Z in March 2016. That one is a 2010 40th anniversary 370z that I'm in love with

That's the only major body style change that I haven't owned yet. Quiet as kept, it was my favorite style.

Coming from a 350z to a 370z, I can testify that there is a substantial difference in performance. Although, I loved the stock exhaust sound on my 350z a lot better.

Well from your perspective, you got it right the 1st time. But I will say, the older Z's were a lot of fun.

I guess I am not committed to any particular brand. If I like it and I am in a market, I get it.

I have owned a 1985 Audi Quattro Coupe, a 1990 Eagle Talon Tsi and a 2000 Celica GTS.
