To compound on that it has essentially always risen with each model. It would be an interesting marketing exercise to release a name that goes backwards and is essentially named after pre-existing model.

240Z
260Z
280Z
300Z
350Z
370Z
300Z again?

That's why coupling it with displacement is challenging.

HP is no different as things can get awkward quickly.
Because instead of expressing the value in liters, or milliliters they chose decaliters which is an unusual unit of measure.
The Numerical value has always gone up because the displacement has always gone up or stayed the same in as with the 280Z and 280ZX, and the two generations of 300ZX
240Z (S30)= 2.4 liters, or 240 decaliters or 2400 milliliters
260Z (S30)= 2.6 liters, or 260 decaliters or 2600 milliliters
280Z (S30)= 2.8 liters, or 280 decaliters or 2800 milliliters
280ZX (S130)= 2.8 liters, or 280 decaliters or 2800 milliliters
300ZX (Z31)= 3.0 liters, or 300 decaliters or 3000 milliliters
300ZX (Z32)= 3.0 liters, or 300 decaliters or 3000 milliliters
350Z (Z33)= 3.5 liters, or 350 decaliters or 3500 milliliters
370Z (Z34)= 3.7 liters, or 370 decaliters or 3700 milliliters
300Z (Z35)= 3.0 is the Obvious choice following the historical system
