Ugliest ever 300ZX

[Digital]

Always liked the old Nissan 300ZX, nice styling, so what in the name of god would lead someone to do something like this:

I could not agree more - an absolutely cracking car - totally ruined!

[dragstar]

i wonder what it would be like in a wind tunnel

[Turbo T]

That really is funny, paint it pink and it woild look like that pink panther car from the front

[iaint]

Oh. My. God.

[Saied]

Look at the twin open cone filters poking out of his front spoiler

Bet they pick up a bit of road grime

[skinnyboy]

Sorry, gotta disagree. 300 is a fast car, no doubt, but not a cracking car, and not even, IMHO, a good car. Too much to go wrong, too little chassis adjustability, too little feedback...in short, fine for GT'ing and drag racing, but not the sports-car it was pretending to be.

Having said that, THAT ZX was just terrible...I mean, why battleship grey?!?

yeah absolutely true, awful to work on, rear diff and suspension setup is a nightmare and never feels connected to the car. Steering is a shocker too. the plumbing on the TT versions is a mess. From the outside they look nice, specially the Fairlady jap imports. The new one 350z is light years ahead!

You have to wonder what the car did to end up with an owner like that?

Poor car

[NikB]

I think the offset on the rear wheels is a *little* bit out

[Nicol@]

I don't know why people ever want to change the 300.

They are eye catching cars in the standard format, so why change something that looks so good (not exactly common either).

They look better than a Supra

[TimW]

Get that thing away from me!!!

[turbo-tastic]

This is one of those situations where you would liked to have been there when whoever was responsible for this thought "I know what'll look good"....

How the hell was that ever going to look good??

Tossers.

[GravelBen]

please excuse me, I'm just going to go and throw up in the corner.

[RobGTO]

Im glad someone has the balls to do that.
Its like a 5 year old did it for a laugh !


What do you recon his girlfriend looks like ?

[iaint]

Showed Petra the link to that monstrosity. Her expression would've won many a gurning competition!

I'm slowly training her in the ways of car appreciation but she still doesn;t appreciate the rx-4

[turbo-tastic]

Err, where did you get that picture from Gaz??

No, forget it, I dont want to know

Also, there are a couple of problems with suggesting that his "girlfriend" looks like that.

1) The "bodywork" (craftsmanship, handywork what ever you want to call it) would not take such a drastic change in ride height if she got in. And as the owner obviously cares so much about how the car looks, he could never have it lower on the passenger side, as that would make it look stupid

2) Do you really think the person responsible for this mess would have a "girlfriend" that isn't his sister/poultry??
