When I put on a 280ZX, I expect to be able to comfortably make the drive from SanFrancisco to LA in comfort, with little exhaust note unless I need to work the throttle "in anger" and not reeking of exhaust and gas fumes when I arrive.
For those of you that have seen the John Morton commercial for the 240Z, it's like that, but instead of going from a CProd 240Z race car to a 240Z street car, I'm climbing out of a CProd 240Z race car into a 280ZX.
Now, if you wanna see a stinky, smelly 280ZX, check out our LeMons car build pics at:
