Hi.

 

I totalled my pickup back in May and have been without a car since. I've been looking for something, but have little cash and options. This time I'm not going to just settle for something like I did with my 4 banger automatic S-10. I've waited this long for a car, so I don't mind waiting a little longer for something with some performance. I would have been looking for a car earlier, but I spent alot of summertime in the hospital and various doctors and therapists offices.(broken femur, hip, vertebrae and clavicle) The bright side is, I set off every metal detector I go through now :D

 

Anyways, I was curious as to what type of performance is reasonable out of a N/A L28 engine. And I'm also open to other car types. I've been looking into alot of third gen GM F-bodies and may just get a TPI-powered pony. I've also gained an interest in the Subaru SVX (circa 92-97). I like the H-6 boxer AWD concept.

 

I'm leaning more towards the 85-92 camaro or firebird, but I'm curious what kind of 0-60 times or 1/4 times I could get out of a 280Z/280ZX ?

 

Thanks,

Michael

Well, first of all I'm glad you survived and remain in the land of the living.

 

I would say low 15's are very possible for a naturally aspirated L28. Header, Flowmaster, cam, Centerforce, K&N panel filter, big throat tb, and bigger fuel injectors got me there before I went V-8.
