Family car that is a good one... Brought a tear to my eye

 

Glad I could help bring out your emotions! LOL! Anyway that is the first thing I think when I see a 2+2. I never really cared for them. Not to dis anybody that has one. And like I always say "Different strokes for different folks"

 

No offense taken here ... once my 2+2 gets a twin-turbo setup and weight redux ... you'll want one.

Just playing. I don't know anyone small enough to fit in those tiny-*** backseats. Wait wait ... that's right, I have a good friend named KENWOOD.

 

well just think.. if you modified a 2+2 to put out 300 hp and 250 lb of torque.. you can get everyone where they need to real quick =D

 

If he was doing 160 then he better have a full suspension, ground effects, a good air dam and a big *** wing and WAY more horsepower than stock.

Most cars can do over 100 mph, even an old Ford Aspire. However, once you get beyond that, the effects of wind resistance and aerodynamics begin to have a significant impact on the vehicle. It requires a logarithmic increase in power as your MPH move beyond 100.

130hp stock ZX with stock height and stock aerodynamics is good for a little over 130mph as you guys have seen. Beyond that, you'll have to start dramatically increasing your power logarithmically to continue to accelerate and you'll have to make significant changes to your aerodynamics to keep you on the ground at that speed. My friends old Cessna 150 with 100 hp motor gets airborne at 85 mph. Of course, you want to take off in the Cessna.

If the 280ZX could do 160 in stock form, it would have been considered a supercar. Even the Acura NSX can only make it to 165 and it has much more modern aerodynamics and 290hp/224ft.lbs torque.

That beats the heck out of even the 170hp/200ft.lbs torque from the stock 280ZXT.

 

I think I would want the setup just in a coupe.. with wieght reduction..

 

My car IS a family car! I have a carseat in the back. I hope that I can afford a real family car before she outgrows that seat. Then I can get a 2-seater turbo.

 

Change out the front bumper for something a little more aero, add a splitter in the front, headlight covers, lower it, give the rear a little more height then the front and you won't even need a wing, add too much drag anyways. A spoiler would help with lift though, and won't up your CoD.

On a turbo powered car that'd get you pretty close to that 160 mark. The teardrop design of the Z is very efficient at reducing drag.

And while your at it, add one of those rocket engines. Yup, that should do the trick.

 

Haha - yes! Tim Allen that trash!
