Bambikiller240 Posted June 19, 2004 Share #39 Posted June 19, 2004 Originally posted by tspivey ........... The Z is a nascar ride basic, the ZX is an Indy Car advanced cutting edge. I didn't like the analogy either.I would think the Z would be the Indy Car, and the ZX would be a Cadillac Fleetwood.

1 Bravo 6 Posted June 20, 2004 Share #43 Posted June 20, 2004 Hey, hey, hey, Lachlan, You have to remember mate, our septic mates don't understand our brand of humour. With the exception of the old farts like Carl and Tanny that is.

hls30.com Posted June 20, 2004 Share #44 Posted June 20, 2004 Cranky, there's a naughty boy! Thinks just cause we're Yanks, and aren't from down unda, we can't get a joke unless we are "old farts"! Maybe we just don't get the jokes that come from a Banana bender with Kangaroos loose in the top paddock! ROFL The last time I heard us called Ceptics, it was in an Australian movie with Carl Weathers trying to find his sister. 'Course, I don't live there, and don't get anything of Australia that doesn't come from Steve or Terry Irwin! ROFL You guys have some beautiful territory, I will visit one day, and I would much rather see it in a rugged and go-getem rally prepped 240Z than an 80s cadilac made by Datsun! :stupid: (Had to keep focus on the subject of the thread!) I hope that my didn't get lost in the translation! Oh, Carl, just for you, I said UNIT!

1 Bravo 6 Posted June 21, 2004 Share #45 Posted June 21, 2004 ROFL GOOD GRIEF, a YOUNG septic tank who understands the Aussie Lingo. The age of miracles is still with us !!!!!! Please Will, if you like he who should remain nameless and his wife, you can HAVE him.:sick: :sick: Now, on a more serious note and to get back to the thread of this thread, at the risk of being told to F*&@OFF ,(an unnecessary and uncalled for statement made earlier), I offer the following quote from the "Illustrated Encyclopedia of Classic Cars" which appears at the end of a glowing report on the 240 and 260 Zeds (not the 2+2 though). "With the 280ZX, Datsun finally lost the plot altogether. This unattractive parody of the purebread original was unworthy of the name". LOOK OUT YOU BLOKES, INCOMING !!!!!.

hls30.com Posted June 21, 2004 Share #47 Posted June 21, 2004 Ok, who said I was Young? I am beginning to question your understanding of our translationsLOL Datsun didn't loose "the plot", they changed the focus. Something "Illustrated Encyclopedia of Classic Cars" evidently missed altoghether! The 280ZX was not supposed to be a continuation of the Z in any measure except sales figures! The leadership at Datsun thought a Cadillac would sell better, so they made one that would fit into a shape similar to a z car, and kept some original pieces to hopefully placate the S30 crowd-it didn't really cut it with the drivers in the bunch, so they really poured money and parts into racing endeavors, so that they could "Keep up appearances", and hopefully get some people to drive the cars regardless of the opinion of the press. The ZX was a comfortable "grocery getter" with some shared components, a few similar lines, and a similar name! A very nice car, but not designed to be a continuation of the Z theme of economic performance, with a small thought to creature comforts. Only a Brown-eyed mullet would tell you to F*&@OFF ! And then only one with a Bodgy brain! The rest of us would have to clime in and give the Galah a Gobful for their Spewin'! "Please Will, if you like he who should remain nameless and his wife, you can HAVE him." Me thinks he is at his happiest right where he is, and true to the Irwins, "He's a big fella with a lovely sheela, and we would hate to disturb their natural environment." Will Bill, I am still waiting for the "story" behind the sale of your Z!:stupid: :stupid: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/12168-whats-the-difference-z-or-zx/?page=4#findComment-85833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Bravo 6 Posted June 21, 2004 Share #48 Posted June 21, 2004 :stupid: Guess I should've checked your profile earlier Will. Don't mind a little Haggard myself but tend more towards Cash, Nelson and Alabama.
