Nope. I owned a 240, 260 and 280 and this car is nothing like them. First, I bought my 240 new for $3345 (with every available option) - less than a new Super Beetle, this thing options out north of $38k!

The original Z was RAW - a large part of it's appeal... this one is too refined, no comparison.

The S30 (240,260,280) weighed 2355lbs. while this porker runs just under 3200lbs.

Interesting that this same engine in the Infinity G37 Coupe is rated at 350HP (though it outweighs it by 400lbs.) , but only 332HP for the Z - Nissan's Sports Car?

They're just marketing on the name... but that'll probably be enough to see reasonable sales numbers, just not me.
