Interesting Web Site for Z History

Picked this link up from one of the other Z sites

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-car

 

There is some good info, I liked this one:

 

The Z-car went on hiatus from 1996 to 2002, as Nissan was not only focusing on SUVs but was also in financial trouble. Many people believed that Nissan would not live to see the new millennium, and that the Z-car would die with it. To keep Z-car interest alive, the company launched a restoration program in 1998 where they purchased original 240Zs, professionally restored them, and sold them at dealerships for $24,000.

 

Furthermore, Nissan launched a concept car at the 1999 North American International Auto Show, the 240Z Concept. Clearly a throwback to the original, it was a bright orange two-seater with classic swept-back styling . In addition, it was fully functioning, with the 2.4 liter 4-cylinder KA24DE engine from the Nissan Altima featuring 200 bhp (150 kW) and 180 ft·lbf (244 N·m) of torque. The designers used an original 240Z to provide inspiration and the concept was created from drawing to running vehicle in only 12 weeks.

 

See Concept 240Z below, looks better than the 350Z to me....

I saw this recently. I'd like to see more angles of that concept car before I make up my mind on it's looks. Looks abit off at this angle!?
