Carl Beck Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Hello Everyone: Mr. Matsuo, the Designer of the original Z Car visited California this past summer. He spent some time with MotoMan doing a video with Randy Rodriguez who's concept skecthes were the basis for the design of the new 370Z. You can see the resulting video at: You can also find at: Apple iTunes http://www.CraveOnline.com Boxee DivX TV Roku Samsung HD TiVo Verizon FiOS OnDemand Vizio VIA I think everyone will enjoy this... IF you were lucky enough to be at the Z Car Convention this year, and to have meet Mr. Matsuo - you now know why there is enough room in the engine bay for a V8. Turns out that Mr. Matsuo is perhaps the Charter Member of Hybrid Z - he wanted to assure that there was room between the shock towers for a Nissan V8... and had quite a few disagreements with the engineering and production people about that... in the end Mr. Matsuo had his way - there was room for a V8... Pictured below is Rick Rawe, Mr. Matsuo and Rick's Ford V8 powered 240Z. FWIW, Carl B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
