It is probably just the "Z" that is classic.
I am glad to see that Nissan (Datsun) is coming back with the "Z". This car, along with the Mustang and TBird, was a car that I lusted over for many years. I always wanted a '70 - '72 original Z, not one of the bloated boats that they turned into. I was lucky enough to get a decent '72 that I had for a few years before getting married.
However, the new Z does not do as good a job of capturing the "feel" of the original as the Bird does. From the rear quarter it could be mistaken as a 911.
