I was being facetious with the inline-6 comment, a z-car is a z-car - unless we're talking about 2+2s, I prefer to think they don't exist.

True..............maybe I mixed up the 280Z and 280ZX. Once they added the louvers, vents, and such, I lost interest in the later S30 models. Instead of getting a wider track while getting bidder, they kept the car about the same. The 280Z did get the crap EFI implimentation though. Almost everyone I know (that had one) had problems with it. Granted, I wasn't born when the original Fairlady Z was sold, but I wasn't far behind. My Grandmother's neighbor had one. He and my uncle we "rivals" so to say. My uncle had a z28 Camaro and they used to kick it a bit. Funny thing is that that guy had every Z up to the Z32TT. Turns out that the house that he had next door to my grandmother's was his "safehouse" or home away from home, lol!
