I think the general lines are similar to a Jaguar F-type coupe.

If in 2006 when I bought my first 240Z I had known the FRS was going to be showing up, I would have held off and bought the FRS instead. It's everything the old Zs are, but with the knowledge that when you hit the ignition, the damn thing is going to start and idle guaranteed (It also has a working rear defroster and dash clock )

Me and a couple friends were talking about this the other day. Ironically, I think the twins look more like the 240z than the 370z.

I still get a lump in my throat whenever I see a 240Z. Mine was #9248.

And I know the 86 was styled with a nod to the 2000GT but when I sit in it, ...yeah, it's a Z.
