Regardless of costing a lot less, I still like the Datsun 280ZX better than any other car. The best model imo was the 1983 Turbo 2+2 T-top. I owned one from new for 25 years, and my late husband raced them (as team owner and master mechanic, not the driver) at Summit Point. If I had all the money in the world to burn, I would still find a restored 1983 ZX to buy, over anything else. Maybe someday again, who knows.
