I am looking to extend my garage by the addition of another car and am thinking of the 300ZX as a possibilty.

 

I already own 3 of the worlds best cars; an Impreza Turbo (the best car ever made!) a MX-5 (despite its girlie image its a great little fun car!) and an M3 Convertibe (just to add a little class!)

 

Could you tell me why I should add a 300ZX to my collection and what does it do better than any other car?

 

Although money is no object could you tell me how much a good one would cost??

 

Thanks all

 

MrRee

Its more comfortable than the Impreza, has more class than the Mx5 and is faster than your M3

 

enough said ;)

Mr. Ree? Mystery? Money no object? Mycroft springs to mind...

 

Still, I'll bite...

 

- Personally I wouldn't go for the 300ZX if I were you - you already have an FR car in the Mazda (agreed, a very nice motor). You have a clear gap - Mid engined motoring.

 

Get a boxster, like a normal person.

 

Love,

Russ.

I'm NOT Mycroft!!!

 

He is a dick that lives on Scoobynet!! I have been on Scoobynet and seen his work - NOT nice!!

 

Porsche Boxster?? Could be a possiblility BUT its a bit, well, yuppie????

 

Is the 300zx only for the hairy chested?? though??

 

MrRee

It really depends what type of gap you have...... Why not go for a luxury car - like a Lexus - rather than another sports car - I dont see the point of having a Subaru and a 300zx tbh

............. ................. .............

Mate, you've got an M3 CONVERTIBLE FFS - plus with the MX5 you have demonstrated that you're not swayed by stoopid stereotyping.

 

Although the scooby has a boxer engine, and the M3 is an example of class german engineering, I'd still reckon the Porsche is a good choice. Boxster 'S', of course.

 

Yeah, the 300 has a chest-wig image, that's true, but all of your current cars have similar baggage, and you still love 'em.

 

Don't get me wrong, the 300 is a great car, but I personally don't think it fits too well with your other motors. You already have a Japanese techno-muscle-car in the Scooby. If I were you, I'd try something else.

 

Just my humble opinion.

 

Russ.

Ok, thanks ............... its just that there isn't many 300ZX's about in the UK ............. it would give me a sense of uniqueness (is that a word?!)

 

Maybe the 300ZX couldn't live up to the Impreza - BUT, nothing really can .............. it was just an idea??!!

 

MrRee

If money is no object then I suggest you go for a Bugatti Veyron!!:D :D .....or maybe a Zonda?.....or a McLaren F1?

 

Other than that, then yes, go for a 300ZX. Faster than a Scoob, not as homosexual as an MX5, and more skill needed to drive fast (but more reward when you get it right) than an M3.:D

I think he is trying to have a collection of good cars. The Boxter S is not good enough to be called a Porsche and degrades the whole Porsche image.

 

Plus a 300ZX will rip the shit out of a Boxter.

Money - WITHIN REASON!!!

 

What I meant is that there can't be many 300ZX's now for more than £2000?? Or am I getting it badly wrong?

 

I don't think a 300ZX could live on the same stretch of road as an Impreza, thats a given, BUT it would be fun with a car that doesn't handle too well like the 300ZX ............ its all about fun!!

 

MrRee

.......... ................ ............. ................ ..........

oh no its that excessive use of ................................

 

wonder who that could be then..........

heh heh, not the most subtle baiting i've ever seen. Still, maybe someone will get het up...

Baiting??

 

Confused??

 

MrRee:confused:

Just done some research on Parkers guide and they are much cheaper than I thought!!??

 

Nissan 300 ZX 3.0 V6 Targa 2+2 2d Coupe 1989/F low mileage is listed at £500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Holy cr4p!! I don't think its for me then really, is it??

 

Whats the MOST I would have to pay for the BEST in the country?? £2250 maybe??

 

Shocked

Yes...........subtle.

Truthful ................ you CAN'T possibly believe that the 300ZX would stay on the road when the Impreza has just executed a bend at speed??? REALLY, can you???????????????????

 

If they really were Impreza beaters then I am sure they would cost more than £500!!! I am absolutely gobsmacked at how cheap one can be had for??!!

 

 

MrRee

I'd suggest a test drive, thats the only real way to find out if you'd like to own a Z.

I'll sell you my 300ZX for £20,000 if that would make you feel better:D
