$51k for a Z

Check out the nice 240z on ebay. It's at $51,100! I think it should have AC., and a blonde.

oooooooh, it's THAT Z, dude is ****ing crazy. he should be happy the bids are that high. 125k, pffft. maybe if he didn't waste his money having a shop do every last thing for him and polishing every freaking thing and AN fitting every things. he has a ton of little BS **** done that jacked up his costs since it was all done in a shop... god I hope it doesn't get much higher than it was already bid at. Cause where it is at is just crazy, any closer to his price is ludicrous!

All my opinion though everybody

Some four-bangers are OK.....if they have turbos attached.But I agree, the Z needs a 6!

Hey, the SR and all that work he has in the suspension is the only way to go if you want to all out track. keeping a straight six in there is just to much weight up front for a track car. However, if i were to swap a S30, it would be for drag and track, so I wouldn't give a **** and RB it lol.

Its true about the weight in front of the front wheels on an line six, but still... a 280ZX's design is so that it has 50/50 weight distribution. The 280Z is not far off of that with the L28

I think the seller and the bidders are people with to much money. I could duplicate that car for half that much lol. I want a car I can drive anywhere and have heat, ac, tunes and oyeah smoke the tires at will. I've been watching ebay for years and the Z cars have gone way up compared to just last year. Now I see project starter cars go for 2k. You don't get much more than that for 5k.
