  • Supra vs. RX7 vs. 300zx

    Kinda random topic... but this year coming up when I (hopefully) buy a house and garage, I'm gonna make a Nissan 300zx my next project car (since my El Camino is about done and I want to expand my 'hands on' knowledge to beyond just American cars)

    anyway... have just been thinking, in most 'tuner' type video games and movies, they always feature Supras and Rx7's and there is rarely a 300zx to be found, even though they are all the same time period / car class

    if you check ebay... Supras and Rx7s sell for considerably more than 300zx's do, but as far as I can tell, the 300zx is actually the 'better car' performance wise... and looks somewhat (read: ALOT) better...


    so why is it so unpopular?

      What model years are these cars?
      The Z is my favorite overall.

        I'm definitly going for the 300zx's

        just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on why the other 'comparable' cars get so much more attention now


        as for the model years... basically, the 90s

        90-96 for the second flight of the 300zx (as opposed to the 84-89 version) is the one am looking at


        there were 3 flights of RX7... but the well known (and newest) was 92-2002


        and the newest Supra was 93-02 (fourth flight)

            Rx-7's are rotary ..... pretty complicated from my unerstanding...ordering rare JDM parts could be a hassle too.

              I always thought that the 300zx had some very contemporary, classy lines. It was beyond its time in style in the 1990s and has aged quite well. I see them from time to time and they still impress me.

                  I've always liked the Z too, but in the end I'd take a turboed supra.

                      I really want to do that... but, also want to learn abput engines I'm not too familiar with, so will probably stick with a Nissan Motor

                      It doesn't really matter if the one I get has the twin turbos or not... cuz gonna be putting bigger ones on it anyway along with new fuel system, new exhaust, bigger intercoolers, etc. my goal is +450 hp and stripping it to under 3000 lbs (basically want to have a street legal race car)

                      but kinda off topic still just trying to figure out what peoples thoughts are on why the other cars are so much more popular

                        I like the 300. Maybe the reason it was not as popular was because Nissan was going sinking at the time? I don't think it was a worse car than the other two. In fact I see more 300ZXs driving around than Rx-7s or Supras.

                          The 300 for sure. They look better and plus it will be different then most ricers. Most just copy whet they see on movies.

                            300 I like them, I always wanted a 300. I was trying to get a 350z before but WAY to much for insurance

                            My neighbor has a late 80s 300ZX turbo, he doesnt drive it much just sits there alot. Its a shame cuz that car was ment to be DRIVEN!
