If you stand it next to a 370z, it looks like a Nissan.
The Nissan sportscar "look" was forever changed with the creation of the 350Z. There's a 6 or 7 year gap between the '96 300zx and the 350z.
I'd kill for a pristine 280z, but I'm lucky to have the 350z. My wife wasn't crazy about me getting one, but 3 years later it's all mine and she can't do anything about it!
For some extra coin I would go with the Lexus LFA. Much better styling IMO. And what impresses so much about the LFA is that the engine breathes and revs so smoothly and quickly that an analog tach cannot keep up hence why the tach is digital. ". Tanahashi denies that he opted for the LCD simply for the wow factor: "At first we tried an analog tachometer. But the V-10 revs so fast, the tach needle couldn't keep up!""
Not my style at all. The roads to most places I go would ruin it. I'd take that money, get myself a nice Truck/Toy Hauler, and full tubular offroad rock crawler.
