Me too, I am Z homer for 90 Z cars and earlier. Pdxhak is right , back then they all borrowed some styling cues from one another. But when the finish product was done they all had a distinct look about them.
I think designers back then had more freedom then present car designers. You could really see the heart and soul put into each design, detail etc. Back then you brought a car instead of a rolling appliance of today.

Not hatin' at all, just don't know why someone would spend so much for a gnose front when it takes the look away from being a Z to the general look alike. I really like the one's with the lip spoilers.
I see a bunch of Z's, old one's. they are definately eye turners.
I just prefer more distinctive cars, hence the three I put up.
That's why I've been an rx driver and I'm working on an old austin.

Lots of companies of that time...

UGH! You had to bring that abomination wagon back from the dead!!!!LOL! I though I got rid of that car from my child hood memories! My child hood buddy families had that wagon, what a POS! It was so claustrophobic in that ride , uncomfortable, and it would rock back and forth like a big boat because of its crappy springs everytime you would come to a stop. My buddy was so embarressed, I would be too if my pops came home with that boat from hell.LOL!
The Mercedes gullwing are gorgeous, only saw one in my life , I was in Boca Raton Fl visiting family, and across the street a guy just had a mint one siting in his garage, a older gentlemen in his late 70's . We talked and I was drooling like a dog wanting a steak!
Mercedes did a helluva job on that car!

If you never heard the Hakosuka Skyline GT-R ripping down the track then this is for you. Nissan's inline 6 will always be one of my favorite sounding engines. The high pitch whine combined with some low end growl gives it a very unique sound.

Damn that video put a smile on my face!
The sound was intoxicating coming out of those pipes! What a machine,very cool to see the well seasoned race car driver leave with a smile on his face, you can tell he got a rush driving that classic Skyline racer.
I want one!
