I loved that 280ZX Turbo. My 370 Z would outhandle it in every way, I'm pretty sure, but when you stepped on the gas on that thing, it would fly...

The only thing about the 280ZX I didn't like was the notorious rear suspension squat under acceleration. Looked for a turbo numerous times over the years and again, always instead found odd combos such as 2+2, auto, or both. Where the hell are the 5 spd 2 seaters??? I also had something rare in my 79 apparently. My speedo had the 130mph gauge as opposed to the very common 85mph which even the turbos had. I made mine look like an 82-83 with upgraded hood, wheels, tail lights, bumpers, and B-pillars. The front bumper eventually got the Motorsport Auto one along with their cat-back. I also put 1988 300ZX seats which was a really sweet mod cause they were like Recaros. I hooked up all the wires for them to work, they were adjustable in every damn way and hugged your body good! Changed the brown interior to black using salvaged black interior pieces and new too. The only thing I didn't complete was the paint although I did get the bodywork and primer done.
I always refer to that car when talking about how long it took American cars to finally get with the program. I know somebody might bring up some instances from the past that I'm not familiar with. But that 79 had electronic fuel injection, independent rear suspension, and 4 wheel disc brakes. Damn mustangs still had rear drums for many more years and camaros into the 90s had carbs and throttle body injection. Oh and let's not forget both had live rear axles into the next century!
