Name a car in 1990 that could compare for the price of a new
300zx.
Stock for stock a vette couldnt even compare. If it were'nt
for Nissan's technilogical break through in creating the Z
with all its bells and whistles there would not be cars like:
Supra TT
Rx-7TT
3000GT TT VR4
The Z started it all and the other car companies were playing catchup!
Im not trying to rag anyone and you are intitled to your opinions,
whatever! There are cars that Im not fund of either but i still give respect to them for the fact that they maybe fast or what not.
If it werent for the Z the american sportscar market wouldnt be
what it is today and would be overrun by Mustangs and Camaros
because the Ideal was WTF do Japs know about sportscars!
Hell I even thought that UNTIL I rode in my friend Dennis' black 300zx with over 700whp and I saw the full potentual(sp) of the
300zx.
It got my respect to say the least!
im sorry man but nissan does NOT get credit for all that... do you think they taught Felix Wankle how to make the rotary and then told mazda that it would be a good idea to put sequential turbos on it for a fast spool??? no man it didnt happen... nissan didnt have much of an impact on that era... i say the rx7 and supra had the most... and i think the supra had the most impact of them all...
