Guest bang847 Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 I got this from a old datsun book selling on ebay.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony240ZT Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 I think I've seen that before. If Nissan would have done that there probably be less Zs that were taken by rust, and more that were taken out by trees, power polls, etc. I've seen so many images of the 240Z in a wind tunnel like that, so why weren't they more aerodynamic?!

Tony240ZT Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Ouch, how long ago did that happen, and are the frame rails messed up? Are you going to fix it soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Shasteen Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Wow, a Stock/Factory V8z? Just think of the possibilities; kind of makes you stop & go Hmm Imagine the factory V8z; Just think about all the mfg's that lost their American market due to the Z, MGB-Fiat-ect, and then multiply that by the V8z factor. I think there would've been more of an effect on our own mfg's as well as the Euro's exotic mfg's...oh well; Hindsight is 20/20...Woulda, Shoulda, Cooda but didnt-so the hobbiest did!

Oltmann Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Originally posted by Tomahawk Z:Any one know about the "President V8 " put in the prototype Zee? It was a 4L 195hp V8. Gross hp I expect. btw, I think that minivan improved your Z's aerodynamics more than Nissan ever did in a wind tunnel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
