Default Cargo Volume

The 350Z has a cargo volume of 6.8 cu ft. I can't find my old brochures so does anybody know the cargo volume of a 1990 300ZX or a 1994 RX7 ?

Are you guys kidding me ?!?

2003 Nissan 350Z = 6.8 cu ft
1997 mazda RX7 = 17 cu. ft
1990 Nissan 300ZX = 23.7 cu ft


My 1994 RX7 has a lot less cargo space than my 1990 Z. According to these numbers the 2003 Z will have 1/3 the space of the 1990 Z and 1/2 the space of the RX7. If this is true then this is pathetic. I find that I can just barely get what I need in the RX7. If the space is cut in half I'm in big trouble. That means there is barely enough space for an overnight bag or a golf bag.

Solution: get a pickup truck! It's a sports car, it's not made to be practical. It's for fun. Sorry, can't have it all.

Its the ever so cool rear strut brace. The one that looks nice and stiffens the chasis just a tiny bit and changes handeling just a tiny bit. And 99% percent of drivens will never experience that gain but after a year or so they will wish that strut brace was not there. The brace is the reason I'm buying a 6 speed G35,

Well if you're a G35 person, then why are you hanging out on a 350Z forum???

I am a strut brace hater, but it does look cool in the birds eye view photo.

You can probably remove the strut brace as I assume it will just be bolted down. Just for your information, not saying I would do it.

I remove the strut brace in the back of my 1994 RX7 when I need to carry stuff like a Christmas tree, a piano/keyboard, lumber, etc. It comes off by popping two plastic covers and removing two bolts. However, it's not as substantial an assembly as in the new 350Z.
