I see an issue with doing that. if these Z's rust on normal roads. Imagine how fast they must rust off the road. That. And it just looks really retarded.

It's ok, its only an s130, what sucks is that the car skib posted was a former turbo car.

Totally missing the point of having a Z in the first place. Looks ridiculous, and ruins the overall aspect of the sports car. And let's quit the (S130) 280zx bashing, it gets annoying at times. I don't go over in the S30 section, and bash. So don't do it here. Thank you.

If you call semi-trailing arm IRS and about 400 pounds of extra weight, with a more plushy interior and soft suspension a "better platform"

ZX does have T-tops, I enjoy them on my 83
but theres a reason the 73 is the track car

I'm not calling anyone out, or bashing anything, or trying to be an *******, but the facts are the facts.

ugh, turbo reference... lol (I guess it's appropriate since that 280 was originally a turbo...)

I personally prefer the semi-trailing arm suspension, of course, I haven't pernsoally driven a S30, but from what I've read, the semi-trailing arm promotes neutral driving, which is what I've experienced in my car.

We do have alot better brakes though
