August 28, 20168 yr comment_501982 I was going to mention the safety factor also. So many other families are buying giant SUV's and trucks so that they will be the survivors of the accident. The Z started as a sports car, light weight and meant to move. I don't even know why they came up with a 2+2 (no offense to the 2+2 people and their memories). Aside from just accident survivabilty, there's the distraction factor. You don't want to be distracted in a Z, awareness is your best defense. I would not want to get T-boned in a Z by a giant Ford Diesel F850 or whatever number they're up to now.

August 28, 20168 yr comment_501983 right and besides its slow low all the high SUV don't even see you while they are FBing or knocking back a starbucks/shaving/texting/makeup/sleeping... Don't want to discourage you but it is a fact of life you learn real quick when you find yourself staring UP at the tail pipe of the truck infront of you. I try to drive mine early Sunday before the dingbats get on the road. when I retire I am getting the heck out of central florida in exchange for a less crowded more driver friendly/fun area. what zed said about situational awareness, one reason why I don't even want a good expensive loud stereo, I prefer to keep the tunes down and my head on a swivel while in town.

August 29, 20168 yr Author comment_501995 I've only owned trucks and didn't think about how low to the ground I will be in a Z. Good point guys [emoji1303]I'm a visual dude that needs to see it to make a decision and here's a couple side by side comparisons. Even though 260z 2+2 are rare compared to 260z coupes, will they eventually be worth more then the coupes? I'm sure you guys have seen this custom Z. I emailed them to get prices and they can make me a wagon for $75,000+chassis Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/56057-i-will-own-my-first-z-soon/?&page=2#findComment-501995 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 29, 20168 yr comment_501999 wow that wagon reminds me of guys that used to do that to old vettes. sorry not a fan. the 2+2 are prob rare since even back in the day they were just not that nice, and besides is suppose to be a GT not a family car. Rare does not always translate to value. Its rare for good reason.

August 29, 20168 yr comment_502000 I wouldn't think 2+2's will ever reach any where near the values of the coupes. The 2+2's are rarer because they didn't sell as well...
