I have been going through the net looking for facts and figures regarding our zed's, some of them I new some i didnt but i am going to add them all and see if any of them supprises you.

 

1986 won the trans-am series (never heard of it and it was obviously the z31)

 

1994 the z32 won the 24 hour daytona and the gts-1 class 24 hour le-mans. & 5th overall.

 

won 2 IMSA GTS Driving championships

 

won 2 IMSA GTS Manufacturers championships

 

The 300zx holds the e/bms land speed record of 260.87 mph at the Bonneville Speed Trial!! and holds it still to this day!!!

 

Car and Driver awarded the z as one of the 10 best cars for 6 consecutive years.

 

Awards won;-

 

1990: Motor Trends "import car of the year" + "one of the top ten performance cars" - Design of the year - 1 of the best ten cars in the world.(Road and track)

 

1991 - 1996: (Car & Drivers) in the top ten cars

 

Even after production stopped magazines have continued to rave and award the 300zx even years later.

 

2004: Automobile lists the z32 as one of the 100 coolest cars of all time.

2006: Automotile lists the z32 on both the "20 Greatest cars of the past 20 years" and the "25 most buitiful cars in history"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From the year it was introduced, the z32 has also won many comparison tests against similar sports cars such as the 300gt / Dodge stealth, Mazda RX-7, Cheverolet Corvette, toyota supra, Dodge Viper, and wait for it lol the PORSCHE 968!!!!!!!!!!!!!
