bah, you should make an exception for the 1st gen Rx7s - they're every bit
as "vintage" and "classic" as the 240/260Z... i've owned 5 Rx7s and 3
Z-cars, including a 1971 240Z, a 1979 Rx7, a 1982 Rx7, a 1983 Rx7, a 1982
280ZX Turbo, a 1983 280ZX turbo, a 1988 Rx7 Turbo, and a 1993 Rx7 R1
(which I still have).
The 1st gen and the 240Z feel similar to me.. that nostalgia "this would
be a great race car" feeling that you get, even while you're pushing the
damned thing home :)
