Z: a history
 

come on people, both young and experienced (hehe) take a walk down memory lane. and look back on the rich history of Nissan and the "Z" car from its humble beginings..to the 300zx. Nissan continously re did itself and stayed Fresh on the market, appealing to buyers year after year while keeping the competition in the rear view. if this is a repost.. GOOD enjoy the history AGAIN! =):tiphat:

i thinkits safe to say....the Z....saved nissan from going under, it put nissan on the map, beat porsche at its own game and won 11 straight championships. Without the Z... i think its safe to say... There would be no Skylines, No GTR's =)


split into 5 videos.

here's the fifth and final video. (because listen to the PEOPLE talk about threir Z;s... the passion, the love. the thrill of owning....a piece of car history that has long kept affordablility AND its competition on the track... in the rearview.
