FT-86 vs 370z time to trade in?

How old were you when it was in the 90s? The Supra/300ZX/RX-7/3000GT were at least $30K in the early 90s, some climbed to the 40s and 50s. They all died because they were overpriced and they couldn't sell any. If the 370Z was another $10K more expensive, there would be a lot less people driving it.

Not sure I follow you on that one...seems like the current Z is right in line with the stickers on the 4 vehicles you mentioned. It might be a hair less expensive, especially compared to the Supra and later RX-7s, but not by a big margin. I graduated high school in 95, so those were the cars I wanted badly in that timeframe. Actually almost bought a 3000GT after I graduated college, but opted for a new Trans Am instead in 99. Was a tough decision at the time!

It's not a dollar for dollar comparison, though. $30K in the '90s would be like $50K in today's money.
