Who here owns a Nissan 300ZX?

I'd love to see some of the members's 300ZXs posted here! Here are a couple of crappy pics of my baby:

It's like a Lotus Esprit humped a Gen.III Camaro.

Beautiful.

haha thanks. It's a 1991 300ZX Twin Turbo, about 400 RWHP, trying to get it to 550 eventually. Love this car - RWD, no electronic nannies apart from four-wheel-steering. The paint is actually the stock yellow with about four coats of white pearl on top. Changes color depending on light. Volk Racing wheels. A lot planned, pending money and time

I had an 86 300zx a long time ago... It was a fun car at the time.

I had a red 1992 TT when I was in high school and loved it, but hated how you had to crank the passenger seat to lean it back (C@ck blocked me a couple times).

Never did, but it was high on my want list in the early 90's. I remember wondering how it would feel to experience a car that could do 0-60 in 5.6 seconds. It reminds me of how fast everything is now. This and the Stealth and the Mitsubishi were all the faster cars, all turbos and all 0-60 in 5.6 sec.
Now we expect our SUV's and station wagons to be at 60 within 4 seconds.
I wonder if all the porsche fans on forums, back then, were bashing the 300zx as we do the GTR now, that would be hilarious in that people hardly change.
