     I've driven a few, but they all had the analog dash (even the turbo one). I wonder what trim type is in the photo. Those old digital displays were terrible, and tended to start to fail within 6~8 years. I've never seen a 90s digital gauge cluster still working without significant repair.
     
     Those 300Zs do tend to kick out easily. Fast throttle response, but really easy to spin out. I saw it a couple of times back when I use to autocross.

     I had a friend who had a 300ZX. Man, that thing was amazing.

     Unfortunately both he and the car died when he hit a tree, and his head was crushed.

     Remember kids, Oversteer is when you don't see the tree that kills you.

     The US version of the GT-R is nice, but crazy expensive. Nissan abandoned the low end enthusiast market when this discontinued the 240 series, same way Honda killed off the Prelude.

     @flux_the_cat@poa.st Nissan isn't even alive to do it.

     @flux_the_cat@poa.st you're glossing over how those caught fire if you looked at them wrong (not to mention rusted off the boat)
