Most everyone loves them, but I want to know which one is your favorite. Please help me out by casting your vote and telling me why the one you picked is your favorite. I'm doing some research for a paper I am writing for my English Comp class.

Thanks! :bigthumb:

It would be most helpful to have multiple options to select, because of course we will pick our car as our first choice, but it may not reflect the best overall opinion

Well, clearly the context of the poll is "Favorite amongst Z enthusiasts in the NICO community" because it's probably on Z enthusiasts who will go out of their way to seek out a poll like this :biggrin:

Data is data, and context can make data worth all the more when properly applied!

Tough choice between an SS z31 and the ubiquitous 240z.
Stock for stock I'd go with my 300zx.
Though comparing special editions, the z432R takes the cake.

Something about the Z32 has always caught my attention. It is my favorite for reason almost unknown to me. Even though they're a pain in the butt to work on, I still want one... that runs... I've already been down the other road.

I have owned two 240Zs,two 260Zs,a 280Z and a Z31.I loved them all but i guess it was the utter simplicity of my 71 240 that made it my favorite.

Looks dont really factor into my opinion, just numbers and winning solutions of which (stock for stock, side by side) the 370 has in spades. The fact that it can be competitive in stock trim with the '07 MSR's alone is testament to the car.

IMHO its impossible to beat the orignal 240z: simple, fun, sexy, a pure sports car, and it's going up in value. Underpowered by todays standards but the driving experience is more imporant for me than performance numbers.

But the 350Z comes in second. Inexpensive, competent, fun to drive, torquey. Certainly not blazing, not underpowered either, but enough oomph to generally keep up with the others. A nice turnkey dual purpose fun car.

Love the 350Z. Its Japan's answer to the Mustang, but better.

Today's 370Z is the best performance bang for the buck, period.

I will own an LS-swapped 240Z* within the next 5 years. So that's my vote.


*260/280 also acceptable.

I voted 280Z, mainly because I had one. All the S30's are my favorite personally, I like pretty much all Z cars though, i'd say the Z33 would be in 2nd place though.

S30 especially if it has the OS Giken L-series crossflow head. :)

But I dig S130 and Z32's as well.

I have never owned a Z, but have an unnatural love for Black Z32 TTs.

My dad bought a Stanza in 1990 and I went to the dealer with him. I was 10yrs old. While he haggled over price and signed paperwork, I wondered around the showroom and discovered the most beautiful I'd ever seen: the Z32. A salesman asked me if I wanted to sit in it and of course I said yes. I think that was my first orgasm...

Believe it or not, the S30 is probably the only one I will ever have. Unless I can find a 370 in about ten years that has been really well taken care of. ;)
