What is your first Z memory?

Dwight Frye · 07-17-2013, 06:01 PM

I admired the original 240Z back in 1970. The 260Z and 280Z's became what we used to call "Secretary Specials", i.e. chick cars, especially when they offered them with automatics. The 2+2 was an abomination. Nissan recovered with the 300, lost it again with the 350Z which looks like a sporting version of a PT Cruiser, and recovered their panache with the 370Z. It's my first Z, and I may buy the replacement model if they address the road noise issue, it really does distract from the car being an enjoyable GT for trips and would be an easy fix. Otherwise it may be the next generation G Coupe from Infiniti, as long as it's not as ugly as the current year models which look more like products from Hyundai.
