I used to have a 300zx. It was very fast in fact way faster than my 240, however the z was a pain in da a$$ to repair/work on. The big v6 (VG30DET) was so tucked in the engine bay it had tobe pulled out for certian repairs which made it costly. However i loved my Z and i still miss her.

I found that the 240 is actually easier to drift than the Z you have more controll which makes it a whole lot funner
