Guest EnthuZiast Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 So, here's the question. My buddy has a stock '95 VW Jetta GLX (VR6). I have a stock '79 280ZX. We all know who's car is cooler, my question is will my car beat his? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JAMIE T Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 I have no problem beating a freinds VR6 Golf. My car is a '71 240Z though. It only weighs 2250 lbs. Your ZX is alot heavier, and has about the same HP, maybe alittle more torque. It would ba tough call. Try it, and let us know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony240ZT Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Had a friend with a vr6 VW, not sure of the model, but it was a 2 door. Anyways, I was racing him with my `72 240z with stock L24/SU carbs and it seemed like he had a lot more top end than I did. Like if we punched it going around 45mph he would pull away from me, but from a light I could pull a couple cars on him and he would gain it back a little, but by the time we did the 1/4 mile I was still ahead. With a L28 in the little 240 I would probably be able to pull on him at any time if the engine was able to breathe real well. With the added weight of the 280zx body it might be similar to how I ran with my l24 in the 240.. Race'm and let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo2001 Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 I raced one before, I can tell you that stock 280ZX is not going to keep up with VR6. I'll be close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
