The best looking Z(stock) ever made

All these Zs are sexy, no exception.

280z/300zx · 10-17-2012, 11:35 PM

I currently own a Z31 300zx, 280z, and 370z Nismo. Have owned a regular 370z before. I've driven almost every model Z made available here in the states. In my opinion the order I think of is:

Z31T (300zx turbo)
S30Z (240z/260z/280z)
Z34 (sport)
Z34 (Nismo)
Z32 (TT or N/A)
S130T (280zx turbo)
Z33
Z33 (Nismo)

I know a lot of people would question my having the Z31 at the top of my list but what can I say; I'm a sucker for the 80's and the wedge shape of cars of that era. Born in '82 and my 300zx in '84. Even have the 80's Aviator sunglasses for when I drive her, LOL

Toss up for me between 240/280 and sport package 370.

I get that. But the poll is for which one you thought was the best. That's not to say that because you chose ONE that the others are automatically hideous.

To use your analogy; it's like if the Mrs. asked you to pick the best woman and your response was "I like you all". Good luck with that answer.

I stand by my position: cop out.

Mr&Mrs · 10-18-2012, 03:50 AM

Sorry for your bad luck, but my wife respects my love for women. Anyone who knows me also knows im not shy about it.

I know exactly what you mean but I think all the answers are great. If you ignore the last option, the poll still serves its purpose the way you want to look at.

But I do respect people who vote for all the Z cars.

After all it's a tough choice!

Isn't the OP missing 2 body styles?

I like the second generation 300ZX the best.

The first one

It funny to me my dad had a Silver 240Z when I was about 6 a motorcycle ran into it and he never had another. I liked the car it looked pretty cool for the time in 76. I still like the looks of the modified units. They don't show the 280z that was a cool looking car for the 80s and in the 80's it was a cool car. People used to race those around all the time. The 300z was the hottest Z of the late 80s ans early 90s. Those fixed up in twin turbo form were the bomb even into the mid 90s, from there all the cat makers were in sync. The Viper, RX7, Supra, Stealth TT, 3000GT TT... Nissan had some serious competition at that time. Since 2000 really there have not been to many companies building exotic performance machines to compete with each other that look nice. There has been a revival of the muscle car since that time, but even those are getting played in these time of high priced fuel and weak economy who wants a big v8 guzzling fuel. I don't think 350z was that much to write home about. The 370z is a vast improvement over 350z. Noting that the style of the 370z is great I don't know if it will wear well over time to be an iconic classic like the 240z.

You never know though by e time our cars are classics we will be more interested in our morning poo than the looks of our car.
