Age-Old Battle! 240Z vs. 280Z

[DatsunZsRule]

Yes I have and still beats the hell out of some of the crap out there on the road today. I'd take it over a focus, neon RT, cavalier ect. Not to mention like our 2 seaters, there built to last.

Blasphoemers!

the series one 240Z is the only true S30, everything else is on this earth just for fun!

I have several 280ZXGLs and on saturday I will have a 280ZXT GL 2+2.

I think of it more as transportatipon for my family to and from local Z events than classic.

Any well kept (or intentioned) S30 is a classic, but 240Zs are the height of that status.

DZR, thanks for not putting a Z in your second sentance, it does not belong in that company!

I've seen some nice ones. I'll bet that kid over in Australia that used to ride the moped does a nice job on his. He left the site for a while a finished school as a mechanic, I believe, but he was a regular here a while back learning all he could about Z's so he'd be ready when he got one.

Like I said in my earlier post, I was just playing with you guys. The ain't nothing better than a clean early 240. I've owned two of them in the past. But, I'm retired now. I don't want to work that hard anymore.

My point is defending the Z. Why would I list it in my second sentance???

It's interesting with regard to old S30 Z's, the older, the more coveted.

With something like the Jaguar E-type, the series one was absolutly NOT the most sought after.

DZR: You wouldn't, and you didn't!!!

Well of course I wouldn't man.

..but a 240s is completely different than a 280z. It attracts a completely different car person.

Wrong, wrong, wrong,wrong,wrong,wrong,wrong,wrong,wrong,wrong,wrong,wrong,wrong,wrong,wrong,wrong,wrong,wrong,wrong,wrong,wrong, etc.

I own both now, and I have owned both in the past. My 240's are/were great. My 280's are/were also great. If I had to pick one as a daily driver again, I'd pick the 280z. Lose a little speed and agility, but keep the fun as well as a little more refined ride, the wonderful fuel injection, a bit more safety (more sheet metal), etc. Now I have both so I don't have to choose. The are both very similar, great versions of the same car. They are definately not "completely different". That's just silly. Move on to the 280ZX, and then I'll agree with you. :mad:

I think I could have been a little harsh towards the 240z just that I like fuel injected but, still after now 81 posts there still great cars.

You must not have ever been stranded at 1 am becouse you clogged a injector...

Guess not ...... that sucks.
