I've always wondered why so many seem to turn there noses up at 260Z's, I can't see any reason a 240Z is any better than my 260Z and if I took the 260Z badges off mine only experts would know it wasn't a 240Z because the tail lights are different. UK Z's didn't get all the emissions s**t that US 260's got so I assume its not the case that the engine makes less power like the American ones did.



I think if you get rid of the horrible horrible bumpers on 280Z'S they are very nice looking cars,

I think it was the extra 'refinement' too. As you know its always the first of the breed that are the most desirable.

I never said it was;) None of the series of cars are better or worse than each other when judged in isolation about what they are. They're just different. Think of it as a woman in her 20's/30's/40's/50's:D

Looks nice, but surely they're the original 280z bumpers?

Exactly.....but who do you think tarred and feathered the cosecutive cars ?

The bl**dy media and know-all journalists and they're still doing it in the classic mags, blogs and website articles today.

THE CLUB should be re-educating them.....and without wanting to have knuckles rapped, there is no-one dedicated to doing so....is that so ?:confused:

Possibly THE Club also needs to re-educate some of its members along the same lines (ducks behind a wall and awaits the torrents of abuse to begin)
