Yeah, Kudos to NISSAN for taking expensive crap car designs and making cars that are inexpensive and reliable.

I don't see any resembelance between any of those cars to a 240sx except maybe the Z31 and the S13.

Ok, maybe the S15's rear quarter panels kinda vaguely resemble the 85 Koenig's... sorta. But I have never seen that front bumper on an S15 before.

yea this is one of the more worthless threads but if nissan can copy the enzo and sell it for 30k i wouldnt really see why that would be a bad thing.

What if you photoshop the Ferrari headlights to the 240's? they would look like clones.

The way is see it is, theres only so many different designs and styles that can be made for a car.... eventually some cars are going to resemble another...

there are many cross brand similarities with automakes/designers
but still...the ferrari (any ferrari) is a beautiful thing, and has been my dream automaker since i had velcro strapped shoes and a sippy cup.

Wow... I love cars from this time period. I love pop ups and that's one of the reasons I own s13. This is like pop up HEAVEN!!!!!!

Yeah, Nissan copied Ferrari, but it's a damn good copy. Not like Kia's attempt of copying Jaguar.

I read this and thought to myself: "These are 240's we're talking about here. It's probably aready been done before."

So just for sh*ts and giggles, I googled 'S13 Ferrari conversion'. I shouldn't have. :eek:
