I'm interested to know everyone's personal history with the Z cars that made them really like, or even "fall in love with", the Z lineage.
I first started liking the Z's when the 370Z initially released while I was stationed in California. I didn't see many Z34s driving around, but I always saw them when I passed by a nearby dealership. Fast forward to 2013, I finally got my first Z in a 300ZX TT as a project car while in college. It had a few minor mods (performance clutch, short throw shifter, coilovers), but was the most fun car I've owned for driving in the Texas hill country. I sold the car due to not being able to afford an engine rebuild, and living in a college apartment complex wasn't ideal for storing a project car. Shortly after selling I got a 280Z. This was a bad buy on my part as 2 small rust spots turned into the floor pans on both sides completely falling out. Once again, I was still in college so I had to sell the car.
Right before graduating college, I traded an RX7 FD for an Infiniti G37 (needed a better daily driver and a backseat so I didn't choose the 370Z). I modded it (fast intentions exhuast, short ram air intakes, BC coilovers, and WedSport wheels), and had a lot of fun with it.
I'm excited for the new Z and ready to get back into a Z car as soon as it releases.
