i think generally the R-8 is all over the tv with it bein a new car, and with it bein expensive passers by will pull their nose up at it either out of jealousy (because lets face it joe bloggs cant afford it) and at the end of the day your not gunna come across a rough r8 yet. Whereas the 300zx is an old car, and to see an old car in good nick shows enthusiasm in the car. plus most people 30 onwards probably wanted a 300zx or similar (supra etc) in their younger days and never got round to owning one. Finally the 300zx is more realistic to own and i think and therefore makes their little daydream more realistic. i know 3 or 4 years ago i used to drive past c and s woods to go next door to the petrol station and i used to love havin a chat with the 300zx owners that had travelled from all over to see phil at c and s woods. n 2 me they were more interesting than ferraris and stuff coz i knew in my early twenties i wud end up with one.
