All the Z's looked great at the time, but to me, the 300 and 350 were both one-upped in looked by their successors. The 240 on the other hand, still looks amazing to me. Classic lines, and can look extremely aggressive AND tasteful with the right kit.

I think all Z's looked great when they first came out and most have aged really well. I've owned a 79 280ZX, a 90 300ZX, and my 09 370Z but pretty much any Z will make my head turn.

Ah you are right! I did forget the 300zx(z31). But I don't know how to add it into the poll... Maybe we just gonna stick with the 300zx(z31/z32)?

Yeah I love the 240z race car too. But hey, stock Z cars here only. No cheat.

I like the looks of my 240 and 370 -- both.

This is tough, but I never stopped to look at my other Z's as I do the 370. Over two years later I still turn and look.

I put 250,000 miles on my 280Z and loved that car along with other Z's. i just don't remember the "turn back and look" feeling years later.

300ZX TT, if only because of what it represented to me at the time. Super car like performance.

I loved this car, and I agree with you super car comment. On looks though I go with the 370.

The Nismo gets mistaken for a Porsche all the time, so I can see why it's "closer" to a "super car". I never thought it was anywhere close to "rice" though... Maybe the Nismo 350z

Yeah it's funny to see people worship Porsche 911 gt2 as a super car while Nissan makes a very similar wing added onto Nismo they call it Ricer. Lolz. I guess people nowadays just don't really know what ricer really means and likes to throw the word everywhere. I bet if I switched the badges between the 2 cars they would call 911 gt2 a ricer while Nismo a super car.

Yeah a lot of posers throw the term around.

Rice is a fart can, and cheap unpainted screwed on body kit. Stickers all over the car that don't match even what is on the car. Usually crappy old import cars in bad shape with the same above. A front drive car with a rear spoiler that is none stock and nothing else and bolted on in such a way that would not work and looks hideous.

Last but not least you can't have rice unless it is on an Asian import car hence the word RICE.

If the offending car is from another country then another name has to be given.
