Would You Sell Your Porsche Or BMW For This BEAUTY??? Lots of PICS!

Inspiring, beautiful, breathtaking, classic and extremely FAST....

I have Datsun deep in my veins so I'm biased!

What do you Porsche \ BMW Owners think?

I have always loved the older Fairladies.

I would never let my beloved P-car go for one though.

I would have a hard time parting with my RX-7 for one as well. I like being one of the only guys at the track that is pistonless.

No, I owned a new 1972 240Z, great car for the time, but a rust bucket finally, and not good enough to restore like my BMW 3.0 CSi, or any Porsche of the era.

So, no, I'd not give anything for it.

Wouldn't trade. Makes me realize how cool it really is that I have the car I always wanted.

Always liked the 240's. Great pics.

Beautiful car...but no, not a chance that I'd trade (I would add it to the fleet though)

After the 930, probably my 2nd favorite car of all time.

Doubt it, its got a front-mount intercooler...probably SR20DET or RB26DETT.

I like it, minus the ricer unpainted carbon fiber hood.

Already had one. BTDT. But I wouldn't mind another.

In exchange for my 911? You're kidding, right?

I like the car, but there's no way i'd sell my lightened/hotrodded 928S for it. I just like V-8s too much.

Oh, and looks....my Shark has that covered too:

i owned a new midnite blue 1977 DATSOON 280-Z. uncle and i stripped to bare metal, added flares front /rear, did all the suspension and lowered. repainted again midnight blue. learned 1st hand all about sanding baby butt smooth. took us about 6 months of weekends and spare time. did this over in L.A. while working for garrett.

when i came back to phx., had vehicle performance here balance/blue print engine. man that car would get up and go! had fiberglass/rubber front dam on front and OEM datsoon spoiler on rear. BFG tires all around. it was sweet. miss that car alot. would absolutely give triumph TR-6's FITS! my buddy owned a white TR and he never touched me.........kept mumbling about LUCAS or something. had a hell of alot of fun w/that car in L.A. county and DAGO county on the twisties. ran it SCCA here in phx. for awhile.

got lots of highway tickets in it. if you were going 110mph, it felt like you were going 55mph. only drawbacks were bumps in road. suspension so tight it would jar the fillings out of your teeth.

that car would be 29 years old now! one of those i should have kept. would i trade it for my 911.................NEVER!

Was a Z freak until the P,gave my 280 AWAY to make room for the P..Had the Z while living in STUTTGART ( it was quite 'rare' there,
on the Autobahn it was a great runner. My cousin shows up with a 83SC Targa...and well that was the beginning of my slipping and sliding down the slope.
trade/ no, have / oh yes
