The Fairlady Z
line of
automobiles, also known as
Z-cars, were (and still are) top-
class sports cars manufactured by
Nissan from 1970 until the
present date (sold as
Datsuns in the
United States up until
1984, after which point they were manufactured under the
Nissan name);
specifically, the
240Z,
260Z,
280ZX,
300ZX, and, most recently the
350Z. So, if you ever hear someone yell "nice
Z!", be proud; either you drive an awesome
car, or you're really close to someone who does. Or
Zorro attacked you while you weren't looking, and tore up one of your best
shirts.
A minor note: The number preceding the Z has always referred to the displacement of the engine. The 240Z used a 2.4-liter engine, the 300ZX used a 3.0-liter, et cetera.
