(according to the converter here: Inflation Calculator: Money’s Real Worth Over Time | Coin News)

In contrast, the MSRP of a 2006 300ZX was 37,439 which would make it a 70K car today.
for 18,349 in 1998 I got 25,628....in 2012 dollars. I think you made a typo. The difference is the S14 was much easier to upgrade. Apparently the subi engine in this thing is not very good at handling lots of power.

EDIt: and there was no 2006 300zx, I think you meant 1996 and your calculator puts it at 54K. which isn't bad for a twin turbo.
