Nice death, at least it was in a Ford not the T/A haha :lol:

Never seen one @ the track but yes they are fast.. I've seen their tail lights enough over the years.:lol:

They encompass the same ideals, so to speak, as an F-body. They are a rather big, fully equipped sports car with a decent motor powering the rear wheels.

I am a big fan on their looks and I love the interior. As a straight performance car, there are better Nissan chassis to choose from. As a street car, it's fantastic though. I rode in one back in the day on a 300 mile trip. Boy was that a comfortable ride. Nothing like going to the beach with the t-tops off.

Working on that car is a nightmare though.

You should work on a 4cam v6 in a w-body..:nilly::lol: But yeah I've always liked the 300zx.. I honestly think they ruined it with the 350.. I like the 350 but the 300 will always be my fav, next to the Skyline..:yup:

I never truly liked the 350Z. I had a friend that had one for 6 months. The interior felt kind of cheap for an import, and everything was very basic. It lacked the soul of a true sports car. I don't know how to really describe it, but it just didn't feel as good to drive or ride in as the older 300ZX. The new 370Z is a bit better on the looks, but I still don't like it.

There are only a few good Nissan/Datsuns that I really like, and almost all of them are old school.

Yeah like stated above, stock to stock, you would have taken him pretty good. I used to run those in my old LT1 formula all the time. But also like stated above, they can be made much faster quite easily.
