now you will drive the CUV and enjoy it !!!
>>28642795imagine being able to afford a lightweight rwd sportcar and they putting some rims and a lip on it
They're stilling selling it tho?
>>28642797imagine being able to enjoy your cheap shitbox in traffic not surrounded by 4000lb trucks everywhere
>>28642795And they brought it back to you
>>28642803imagine being able to just mod and drive a new-ish car without being a millionaire >>28642802how much does it cost compared to median income versus an s30 when it released?
>>28642802>>28642806>base 240z was $3600 in 71' - 29k after inflation >new Z is starting at 42know go compare house prices
whatever I am back to shitpostingignoring the new 400z or whatever you want to call it is pigfat and based on a 20 year old chassiscar culture is dying.sad!
>>28642810FRED data only goes back to 1984, so I'll compare to the US Census data that only counts percentiles in fifths and only goes back to 1972 for relevant data.In 1972:>New 240Z Sale Price: $3,500 - 4,200>40th-60th percentile US Household Income (All Races): $7,800 - 11,530>40th-60th percentile US Household Income (Non-Hispanic White): $8,360 - 12,100In 2025:>New 400Z Sale Price: $40,000 - 45,000>40th-60th percentile US Household Income (All Races): $65,100 - 105,500>40th-60th percentile US Household Income (Non-Hispanic White): $72,780 - 116,100Both were/are under half the average white person's salary; the 240Z was around 39% and the new Z is around 44%. Not much of a difference, especially considering the fact that there were no tariffs on Japanese imports in 1970 but there's a 15% import on Japanese imports today.
>>28642849no, you're just poorsee >>28642867
>>28642810>>28642831the op is a false premise lol, zoomers are fucking insufferable
>>28642795You can still own one of these.
>>28642831Now compare the new Z has good AC, good handling, it isn't loud and uncomfortable, cruise control, power windows, power steering, much more horsepower, doesn't need a tuneup, can stop faster, you can see better at night, it sounds better, has bluetooth, navigation, you can easily back it into any tight spot, and if you ever wreck it is infinitely more likely to save your life. But yeah, lets just stick to an inflation calculator. Now go check your investments.
>>28642867>Nigger is downplaying a 5% difference in total cost>>28642902Stupid bitch enables scalping as an ego tripAnd we wonder why the consumer gets fucked off nowadays.
>>28642867You should really use all races for the modern day. Because whites will be disproportionately boomers.
>>28642831>base 240zHad a 3 spd auto/4spd manual making less than 150 hp. you can buy a gr86 for less than $29k that makes much more power, with better transmission optionsnot to mention general comfort and featuresYou aren't buying a nameplate with your money, you're buying a car.
>>28643072>You should really use all racesYeah man just lump in the mass of 83 IQ mexicans to prove something about inflation kek >>28643067>>5% difference in total costYou're getting more than 5% more car compared to 1971 lmao. You're getting 3x the horsepower.
>>28642795bro fucking rust took that shit from you, datsuns rusted like tin in an acid vat.
>>28643097>intentionally missing the pointThe average age of a white American is like 44 while it’s low 30’s for blacks and high 20’s for hispanics. People earn more as they get older so although white’s might earn more on average because they’re older, it’s not going to reflect reality for young whites.
>>28643250your solution of comparing income across all races doesn't address that though. you should maybe compare non hispanic whites aged 30 years old in 1971 vs today then.
>concerned about the driver's wellnessWhat fucking lawyer made that a thing? How about let him puke on himself until he dies then let the cops go to the next call.
>>28643277I'm not buying a new car until they all come with mandated robot AEDs for every occupant
>>28643253I’ll bet you the difference in IQ in whites and hispanics is significantly less than age.
>>28642795>>28642797That is one sexy car holy shit. If I had a shit ton of money I'd engine swap that with a 2JZ. It looks so fucking stylish mmmmhhh...
>>28642802>>28642806yeah nah this is in no way even close to the original, even when its a better car overall its still just a pigfat camry coupe
This is the only jap car I genuinely want.Shame they're all rusted to shit over here, even worse than in the US and they're like 50 grand due to all being museum pieces. Even a stripped out shell is like 10 grand usually.
>>28643750Why 2jz? Why not a nogsan sixer? The L series straight 6 engines are fairly good by themselves and can take some power if you're into that.
>>28642795I bet the crash test ratings on that car are terrible. Don’t you like being safe with blind spot monitoring and sensors that hit the brakes for you when you don’t expect it?
>>28645728I own one and every time you get into it, you know that a wreck means youre dead. It's not even a question.That said, the visibility is miles better than anything made in the last 12 years and aside from low power, no power steering, mediocre brakes and paper thin sheetmetal 4" from your head... it's a lot of fun to drive. Not for pussies or people who havent yet procreated tho.
>>28643504I think non hispanic whites aged 30 years old in 2025 are making much closer to the equivalent of what non hispanic whites aged 30 years old made in 1971, than to spics aged 30 years old in 2025
>>28645712cheaper, better, modern version of that.
>>28646199Bimmers are for faggots, so that's a no go. I can see why you'd want one though.
>>28646199>modernit's been like 20 yearsalso it's ugly af
>>28645724Admit it.(You) would do it too. What kind of idiot wouldn't want the heart and soul of a beautifully-crafted, overengineered built-to-withstand-the-apocalypse Toytoa engine and immediately bolt on a turbo in a car like that.
>>28647126it's very heavy and old tho
>>28646199>z4m>cheaper>priced between $30K-$40kA nice s30 usually runs $20k and that's with all the rust fixed. Only 240z's are super overpriced.
>>28647126Nah I'm good, if I wanted reliability then EV swapping would be the thing. I'd rather either stay with Nissan engines Or do something really outlandish, like diesel swapping it for example. A BMW M67D40 diesel V8 for example.
>>28642802LOL
>>28642795>they took this from youYou can still buy older cars. You just don't want to pay the equivalent of a new car to get them fixed.
>>28646199Now if only bmw was capable of making their cars look so painfully generic and uninspired
