zlalomz Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 http://www.canepa.com/inventory/racecar/240z.html# Check out the PDF document for some incredible photos. This is the privateer car that beat the factory effort in the GT/U category. Check out the suspension shots. They replaced the rear diff hanger and the back lower arm plates with a single aluminum piece like BlueovalZ has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I like the suspension pics. That answers a couple questions I had about the old cars. Don't like the asking price. Apparently $275,000 is what they're asking... Why was this in the tool shed??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ManyZs Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 What I found interesting is that they used modified stock control arms and not specially made tubular control arms. I guess that shows that sometimes people are trying to over engineer things when the KISS principle will work just fine. But I'd say the most impressive part is the front sway bar that goes thru the frame rail and the steering rack mount. I was kind of surprised that it looks like they did nothing to the rad support, except for some well placed bracing behind it to the strut tower and a stay rod in place of a strut tower bar. I guess the next question is, how many people are going to go buy a Lotto ticket tonight just so they can pick up a piece of Z history... IIRC correctly one of the other NTPI GTP cars was for sale for around 350K a while back, which means if they are asking 275K for this car, I'd hate to see what kind of price he's asking for the GTP car he has listed.

DavyZ Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I'm impressed with the mounting of the dual exhaust--they fit both of them up into the tranny and differential tunnel to keep ground clearance at a maximum. I'd love to see my exhaust do the same Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 If that car has the stock front LCA positions that car is running some FREAKIN caster!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Yep, and that lends some credence to those of us who have been advocating a buttload o' caster, huh??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
