Thats a pretty good shot, i just got to thinking, what would one choose out of those three cars. this is a question based on best bang for the FUN car! I don’t know for some reason, i’d pick the 350Z it just has that look to it that it wants to get down and dirty on the road. And this i mean for all 350Z not just this one. nice find the 3 of the best cars from nissan. ---

speedgod do it good 240sx is hard to find but 300zx with that mileage and mods is worth close to 10 000 your car might be worth that much too if its mint but its gonna be hard to find someone willing to pay that much for a stock one back on topic that gt-r is a monster but both 300 and 350 look better sitting next to it and if ur car really runs 11s 99spec u can outrun him too at least in a straight line:drivin ---

out of those three id have to pick the gt-r. I just love the design of them, the flow of the lines into the back especially around the rear window area. Combined with the aggressive shape of the front end it just looks so innovative and fresh to me. Not saying the others are bad, 2nd place would be the 300zx, and a far third the 350z, never was too fond of them. ---

Combined with the aggressive shape of the front end it just looks so innovative and fresh to me. Not saying the others are bad, 2nd place would be the 300zx, and a far third the 350z, never was too fond of them. yeah I personally hated the 350z when it came out, but they’ve since grown on me to the point that i dont mind them. the gtr i didnt like in pics, but in person it really is a hot car. I’d obviously pick the 300zx it’s my favorite car on the planet. but yeah as far as price to keep and maintain/mod the cars gtr will be the most expensive (parts are insane for it) then the 300 and the 350z is the cheapest to maintain and mod. and now their prices are way down you can pick them up fairly cheap aswell. I may grab one as a daily beater since my 300 wont be very streetable after it’s build. just need to decide if i should get one before or after the winter. I dont know how useful a 350 would be in the snow ---

^350Z are fine for snow provided that you have good winter tires. Never got stuck with mine, even on summer tires I never got stuck (had to drive on summer tires for a week in snow). ---

I’d never let the 300 touch the roads here in winter it would probably rot out the first season ---

^I never used VDC. I cut the power wire going to the VDC unit and was always off. Not even back up VDC or EBD was on. Again, I had no problems driving in winter. Even in Dunlop Direzzas, it’s tricky, but with good throttle control, you can accelerate just as fast as traffic. ---
