This was presented to me in a fairly close variation and it got me to thinking........

If someone who appreciates a 350z doesn't recognize or appreciate a 240, is the 350 really a Z?

Yeah, certainly! (unfortunately though..)

Like, I would imagine a lot of people who drive R34 skylines dont realise a 240K is also a skyline - but it still is...

Hopefully though most 350Z buyers will know about teh old 240z from teh brochures and articles written in magazines. I have yet to see an article which hasnt mentioned the 240Z in it hehe

like alfadog said it would be pretty hard for someone buying a350Z not to notice that the 240Z was the original Z. Car and driver and road and track both have the beginning of their articles saying that it is all because the 240Z was created back in the 70's that the 350Z is what it is today. My local paper did one on the same bit, plus it is found all over the web. So wether or not the person realizes (which they should with all the info in front of them), it is really if they recognize the 240Z which matters

Interesting point.

I think that it would be impossible for a 350z owner not to appreciate the 240z. Being that the 350 isn't exactly cheap nor easy to get, it kinda rules out the "aw, thats a cute car" crowd.

Plus, have you been in a Nissan dealer showroom lately? Every one that i've been in always has at least one major picture of a certain yellow 240 with chrome wires.

what do ya'll think?

Who's going to the Northeast Z Adventure?

We all need a Z to lean on.
