and if you watch the start,none of them left at the same time...lol oh yean and i think the 260 got a good jump lol

[Tony260Z]

But.. the one you see get a bit of a jump (he admitted it afterwards... lol) isn't the same one that crosses the line with the 350. The one at the start's a 2+2... mine' s a 2 seater :-)

The 1970 and some 1971 Datsuns only weighed roughly 2200-2300 pounds. The 350z is a fat pig, a nicely refined fat pig.

Old datsuns are great cars

@Yeajimi lol, all modern cars are fat pigs, Porsche 911 (991) over 1.4 tons!!, I wouldn't trade my comfort and style to go back in time though.. Loving my 370Z :-) long live the Z

240/260z (s30) are some of the nicest looking cars ever made.... i like a little bit more the early models with mirrors on the front fenders. it gives it a nice old school look.

to me RX3 and 240/260z are the 2 best looking chassis made from that era.

350Z sucks ass. 1970 to 1978, the real Z cars

@WestAutoClub An L26 is an L24 with a longer stroke. An L28 is an L26 with a larger bore. These are effective differences, but not the only differences, eg. one can't take a factory L24 and cut and stroke it all the way into a 3.0L as one can an L28 due to block size constraints.

@Yeajimi also its CG was really low and had perfect 50/50 weight distribution... the new z have nothing on them. even the 2nd gen with the 2.8 turbo is way better

what season and episode is this?



[techcon87]

I'm a Z31 guy and they represented the '84-'89 years HORRIBLY with that..thing...of a Z31 300zx. Also, for my fellow U.S. Z drivers, take into account that Europe had even less restrictions than Japan, so power outputs were usually a good bit higher thanks to larger cams, etc.

drift cars nuff said

@ToreDL87 dont worry about it fam, its kool.

nd yh all the Z cars have something to bring to the table

i love the 240 tho, best rear panel out of them all. i love the tidy light cluster.

over the years they got scatty separating the reverse lights and all that hoo-haar they did with the progressive models.

and yeah, i'll have one Z for myself (2 seater) and a 2+2 for when i wanna roll with the friends or fam.

be a proud Z weirdo (y) youre entitled to your opinion :)
