Z: a history

Nismo89 · 12-29-2011, 09:48 PM

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! =)

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.

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

]

Part 4

Part 5.

and i add the latest version (The Z today)

go on youtube. type in "National geographic GTR" and watch the 5 videos.
it shows nissan designing, preparing and test drving the (then) new 2009 GTR. and the reemergence of the legendary Skyline.

i was getting pumped!!!

maybe a mod could sticky this since this is our teh history of the car we drive and love so much

like rthe ppl in the 5th video said. driving a z is a LIFESTYLE. not just a car. its tradition. its love. its passsion. its...a ZZZZZZZZZZ
