They arent light but i wouldnt say theyre portly especially by todays standards
Way back in the day a good friend had a 240z pretty quick back then. Then they got fat and other than the TT the 300 couldn’t keep up. I’ve always liked them and the 370 revived them.
They should have been at 400 hp fifteen years ago.IMHO they should be 100hp less than a basic GTR.
Would buy a 370 if I found a bargain, 6sp of course

You could tell me I'd catch gonorrhea from it and I'd still want one. Probably.I bought a 90 TT Z out of the showroom. First one in Savannah and I initially loved it BUT....My brother in law had a Z-shop and clued me in on issues....First, it did not put out 300 hp as advertised...Even the car mags said so.
Entirely too small clutch disc/pressure plate assembly and I went through 5 clutches in a few months...under warranty. MY Z weighed 4,000 lbs!!! Bro in law weighed it...Whoever said 3200 lbs are sadly mistaken. Nissan built a very weak bottom end and would not take power add ons.... Air intakes were 4 inches off the ground and in my area flooding is an issue. I went through less than 6 inch puddle and it toasted motor. Bent rods and 3 month wait to get engine from Japan...With damaged block..turbos had to be replaced and total bill for motor, turbos etc...$16,500....from dealer and insurance covered it. A/C was lousy and couldn't keep car cool. I could go on for an hour.. but it was a waist of money
Naw, just buy a 'vette at that point. The appeal of these 90's Japanese cars is the turbo 4s and 6s. Even the RX7, a lot of redneck stupidity around building powerful/reliable 13Bs. People freakout and want to drop a small block in it.
If your actually all hung up on making 1500whp and running 6s or having some gutted track car, plenty of cheaper chassis these days then building a $15k Z32 or $30K FD.
Are you dead set on a Z or would you consider a VR4? It was truly hard to beat what Mitsubishi was offering in the late 90s/Early 2000s
Absolutely. That generation Rx7 is one, if not the best-looking Japanese vehicle from that era. Sitting in one was an experience. You were wrapped in like a go-kart. It's a shame those rotary engines were tempermental.Mazda RX-7 for the win...
Im partial to the z32 but i do like the vr4s too
