Car question where does it belong?

OK...the leftlanenews photo brings out the 240 aspects. Nice!

Wow. My best friend's boyfriend-for-a-little-while in high school drove a Z. The hatchback area was my seat. That one picture just brought back some crazy memories.

In the left lane photo, is that the Nike symbol on the headlight?

You've never seen a car to strange things without first learning about the TR-7. Everything was strange including the headlights. Both headlights would pop up. Then one would drop back down and pop up again. IOW it would wink. But it was not a friendly car. It haunted its owners.

No intelligent car owner neither needs nor wants a V-8.

The world's most stupid automaker - GM – has designed a Camaro with 400 horsepower. About as much horsepower as an 18 wheeler. Why? The car is so crappy t as to hype horsepower to fools.

That V-6 is massive overkill. Biggest Full size cars with a largest V-8 were excessively fast with a 200 horsepower engine. The Cosworth Mustang with so much horsepower is almost impossible to locate. With excessive horsepower, most of them crashed. Why would any small call need 260+ horsepower? They are selling to the same people who also believed anything George Jr said.

Original 240-Z was supposed to be called the Bluebird - on orders from Datsun HQ. Fortunately, a marketing man in CA used the design code rather than 'Bluebird' to sell it.

240-Z was a marketing prototype. A superior Z was the 260-Z. For example, no more carburetor. It was fuel injected. GM cars would not use fuel injection until required by government regulations some ten years later.
