Mr. K Calls Out the 370Z

Well from owning and driving a 240 I tell you this much it's a great step forward with the design of the 370, Mr K. just sees the compact 240 design has morphed into a bit of a heavier car compared to how is was originally, but I have to respectfully disagree with him, he doesn't take into consideration the fact that the 370 has also grown under the hood as well as the suspension improvements, and other features the 240 never had, he may always think the best design was the 240 and i don't blame him for that he is infact the father of the Z.

i don't think it's that he prefers the 240Z over the 370Z, cost is a huge weighing factor in the statements he made.

....yeah and i think he should understand this.. After all, its why the 240 quickly became the 260 and the 260 became the 280 etc....Engine displacement increased to compensate for increased safety requirements and emissions.
