There are only a few cars that inspire loyal followings. These are the cars that stick out on the road – cars you will always remember driving (or riding in) for the first time. One of those few incredible cars, is the Datsun (Nissan) 260Z.

In this edition of the Zero to 60 Podcast, our host Mark Arsen visits with Bud Hansen, the president of the Triangle Z Car Club. Listen above as Bud Hansen describes some of the features that made this car, and other Z-cars so successful.

Next, we’ll check out the 350Z: Nissan’s modern-day Corvette-killer. As Bud Hansen said in the first episode, the 350Z is a popular 2-seat sports car that’s well known for its speed and reliability. Listen as Mark Arsen and Bonnie Gramling, Leith Nissan’s General Manager, take a look at a gleaming-red 370Z NISMO edition. If you’d like to see this one for yourself, just stop by the Leith Nissan showroom!
