    What is the best year to get a z car in? It's surprising how much this question is asked. First of all, there is no "best" year z car. They all have their pros and cons. The 240z is famous for its lightweight chassis, classic look, and performance. The 280z made the z car comfy, had beefier suspension and included the

    Love these cars!

    In the late 80's I had a 72 240z that my step dad and I swapped a carbed, tuned, chev 350 w/ 4-speed into. It was a beast! Red with molded flares front and rear, louvered rear window, and small rear whale tail. I loved that car and man did it bring all the ladies to the yard!

    Sadly, the tin worm took its toll on the chassis, and after a while, the torque from the motor started to twist the weakening frame, and it started to dog walk down the street.:(

    The 2+2's are definitely good looking rides, would make a sweet cruiser with a LS swap.

    I don't see how anyone can be anything but in love with these lines....



    Z-curves mmmmmmmm

    Also, stumbled across this a couple weeks back... Drooooooool :)



    Just going to leave that there.

    And if Rebello's HP claims are accurate, it'll make more than just 300hp. Give this a read too: http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/9003...-not-56k-safe/
    WTF are you saying? I don't even .... Your link describes an amount of work very few have bothered taking the M20 to (partially thanks to twits like you spouting idiocy).

    If you're even going to get close to an apples to apples comparison, enjoy reading in here for a bit .... http://speedtalk.com/forum/viewtopic...31132&start=30

    And as Lorin already said the M20 has nothing to do with the M10 or M30.

    Now that being said, love the old Z's. We let this one go several months back, was a beast.

    I really love these cars. Sexy as hell, huge bonnet that can fit almost anything and even looks great with fender mirrors. Unfortunately when you see them they tend to be older and in worse shape than E30s. I found a crack free dash for one on craigslist once... $1k.

    I'd still really love to pick one up one day. Knew a guy who had a nice one with a 3.0 stroker, sounded heavenly.
