I hate to ask this, but you folks are a friendly bunch. (I dare not go onto the alt.autos.nissan.z forum.)
I tried searching in all the sites I can, but have not come up with an answer. I am assuming the the 240, 260 and 280Z cars were all RWD, since they had the I-6.
How about the 300z in the 80's (z31) and the 300z in the 90's (z32)? They had roughly the same VQ engine as the Maxima, but was it RWD? Just out of curiousity.
I really like the looks of the z31 cars and can imagine getting one someday. (After I get my '65 Mustang convertable.)
