Holy scnitzle! I am on my way if that's what's cooking!

No but the fixins for it are in the freezer n ready anytime. takes about half hour for the dinner and about 2 and a half for the roulade.

As for the 280z thing I used to hang out with the "Good Guys" car club up in Rochester when I owned that Laguna every Thursday night at their regular car show in summer. There was a guy that had a 280Z with a 427 in it that was an absolute chest thumper. The compression reverberating from that motor with 4 inch straight exhaust was insane. I thought my Guna with open headers with 4 inch collectors into 3 inch pipes was a thumper.

Now days people are doing LS swaps in everything and these are a dime a dozen on you tube now.

yea im probably going to get the 280zx bc it's cheaper and the one I can get is in better condition than the 280z, and I really only want it as a first car......... then a Tesla roadster

Dont dive right into speed mate... Build up to it and learn the car your in first. So many people go out and buy vettes and deamons and hell cats and within the first hour total them because they dont understand what real power is like. Fast cars aint all mash the pedal a let her rip like a video game. Aint fun when your 100+ and the tail end starts sliding out and you panic and brake or drop throttle and spin or send the rear the opposite way twice as hard causing it to roll. Spinny Spinny in FPV is AWESOME not so much in a car.

 

[Matthewdupreez]

yea luckily the 280zx only has a max speed of 150kmh about 90 mph

 

[Matthewdupreez]

I worked my way up to the handling, torque, and horsepower thing from the mid '80s to the mid '00s. My buddy Danny in the video above is still all in and has been a big force in the SCCA, Good guys, Optima, and LS scenes. My Yellow monster still lives in the garage, but doesn't see much action right now.
Found this Gem of a picture on my SCCA Crew license from back in the day

like a brand new car literally this thing has hardly been used and has been kept in a very dry climate, i couldn't find any rust any where try as hard as i could

 

[Matthewdupreez]

and personally the price is awesome aswell

 

[LitterBug]

may i mention that a like is not a reply............@LitterBug + @rcplane123

You may! and it's not. I have always been a big fan of the early Z cars. They went all wrong starting in the mid 80's with the awefull rear ends.

I forget what year it was, but the butt just got really boxy and bad. Your's is one of the last years I really liked.

After a quick google, looks like it was the late 80s that got bad. EGADZ!
