Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away; back when the 240Z first came out, I knew a guy who had to have one in Silver. For those of you who are too young to remember, it was 'The' hot car, and they were being brought in very slowly; waiting lists and all that. It took him about 6 months to finally get one in Silver (he refused a number of other colors to wait for one). He had it for an hour and a half and rolled it......

I take it you knew this guy very personally Harvey??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I fell in love with the black Z and traded a 69' GTO straight across for it
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I actually wanted an early VW Schriroco on the same lot in Robbins, GA - but some other dude got there 1st. The Z was 2nd place winner.

And yes, it would do 140mph easily on I-75 and 80 on the backroads of Middle Georgia Damn heads just wouldn't cool fast enough in 35mph/high rev/S-curves. Bad design (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

I won't share what the cash trade ended up being for the GTO, but I watched one sell at auction recently for $47k - and my goat was a damn site prettier and 40+ more horsepower with a dry sump...

A buddy has a Z car. He runs it in FP N/A with around 300HP from a 2.8L. It's a good AX motor....torquey. He got away from the sport but is now getting back into it. A few years ago he was the terror of the local SCCA AXs.

I got beaten by one of those at a Norcal AX. By less than 1/2 a second, but still.

That might be my next project. I had a 260z right after high school. A 350 works great in those little things and no cooling prolems to worry about.

Andy,
Was it Jim Newport in a black and gold Z? If so, he has a Rebello 3.1 Stroker motor. Oh, and he is a hell of a driver too!

This guy waxed me for 3-4 years. I never did beat him but Brit got him several times
....then John went on a hiatus.....lost his job. He has a family & some medical problems.....that will bring "things" to a halt but has now recovered from both.

A friend of a friend that I had I met several times. Could be a tall tale, you never really know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Haven't seen either of them in 35 years or so....

Yepp, that was the one. Big tires too. Plenty of good excuses why he beat me ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Oh hell... I was talking to McMark today and he had an idea to hide a wideband A:F gauge inside the console ashtray... I am starting to warm up to it... Let me know what you think in billable hours (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Got the O2 sensor bung installed. So it's just a matter of wiring things up and making a mounting plate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Gotta order some smaller idle jets. The car was still running rich with the mixture screws 1/4 turn from seated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pinch.gif)

Very cool! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) So I can open it up when I want to see how I am doing and close it and I have a perfectly stock looking interior... Nice.

I wonder if the MSD will take up some of that rich running situation? At least below 3000 RPM.
