General Newbie Questions About the 280ZXT

[Guest Anonymous]

Hi,

 

I've been looking to buy a an inexpensive project car for about a month now, and I just can't make up my mind on which one to get, heh. I just have some general questions about the 280ZXT, as I want to better understand this car.

 

1. How much do these cars cost typically (150+ mi, fair condition)?

 

2. What do they run stock (QM, 0-60)?

 

3. Did they all the turbos come in a 5-speed?

 

4. How hard (time/money estimate) is it to tune these cars to reach mid/high 13s?

 

5. How much money would it be to just swap a turbo engine in an N/A 280ZX?

 

6. How do they handle, and is there aftermarket parts for suspension etc... (Also is there a decent aftermarket for performance parts?)

 

7. How high or low is the insurance on these? Are they considered Class B (or whathaveyou) sports cars?

 

I know these are a lot of questions, and I thank you ahead of time with your answers.

 

Thanks again,

Tang.

Welcome Tang!!! This is Bang!!! HAA HAAA HAAA!!!

In the LA area they arent that easy to find... i'm guessing mostly beacuse of the smog laws.... they actually ask little on the high side in my opinion... $2K??? but for that price you can look really hard and get a project 240z and a donor f-body car... that ways you get a budget dragster and something that will fill your scheudle for about a year or so...
