Interesting observation.
I went to a small Datsun/Nissan Z car club GTG at a local Nissan dealer in Mentor Ohio Saturday morning, (only about 20 or so cars showed up, but all were quite nice. Some really beautiful 240/260 and 280 Z's. (Didn't see even one 280 ZX model).
Maybe it was just me, but I was rather surprised at the rather snobbish attitude displayed by more than a few of the club's members.
I mean it was like they were driving Lambo's or somethin.

I really like the 1st. edition Z cars, I'm even OK with the car's that have a small block Chevy V8 conversion.
But I left the show with less than a "warm and fuzzy feeling" for some of the Z car owners.
