The price of other Z's-n-stuff

DEs are pretty down on power compared to later 350s and pale in comparison to the 370. They're still far better than a NA 300ZX. Those are really, painfully slow.

Spend more. Get the 280. It's a classic. The 300NA and 350s will never be classics.

You know, what you all have posted makes real sense. I always say don't make a decision until it becomes clear and obvious. After reading what your responses, and all the articles and pics I've collected on the 280Z, that is what I really want. Thanks for helping more than you know. What a great forum. I forgot to add, I was looking at an old Rx7. 1985 GSL SE with the 13B engine but from a 91. I've had 6 other Rx7s, still have my 84, and know how much it costs to make the rotary really go...a lot. He wan'ts $5K and the car will need body work, repainted, and maybe work under the hood. It runs but. It didn't take me long to figure out I can find a good 280Z in the 10 to 15 range, about what it would cost to bring the Mazda up to snuff. So I had pretty much made up my mind to go with the 280 until I saw the prices of the 350s and was tempted. I am going with the 280 (I drove a 240 once and they are a blast).

I think the 300ZX (2nd gen) has aged gracefully. Sure, it may lack the power and be painfully slow but I would definitively pick that one over the 350Z.
