At least Datsun tried harder with the 280zx, it's usually quoted as 0.385
I second that figure based on several sources.
Datsun/Nissan actually performed water tunnel testing on the 240Z .

I used to have a Z car and it was like slamming on the brakes every time I tried to coast in that car. Absolutely horrible aerodynamics for such a sleek looking design.
