I should hope so, I'd much rather have a 280zx :)

Yes! Late push for the Datsun!

I may have missed it,but did they mention what gen of MR2? In my opinion, it would be 2nd gen MR2>280zx>1st gen MR2

Because one of the sharpest-handling affordable driver's cars of all time is less Jalop than the car where Nissan forgot what they were doing.

Preeettty sure that's a Z not a ZX.

Kinda worried that's why people are voting for it. They're reading ZX and thinking Z.

You're right. The rally car is a Z. But thanks to that car I have rally dreams whenever I see any member of the old Datsun Z line, even the ZX

I respect the fact that you have an opinion but

I didn't see anywhere that specified which one but I'd say 'even' the 1st gen AW11 is a better car than the 280zx.

I think you're dead on with this assumption, similar cars but definitely different.

Awwhh.. Here, have a hug :)

I haven't seen either of these compete, and every MR-2 I've encountered at a rally has been hit with mechanical failures and retired on the first day of competition.

That's how I have it. But then it becomes moot because it loses to the Prelude in the next round.

..I'd say the 1st gen is better then the 2nd gen, and both are better then a ZX
