Well what an interesting day I had. I got to test drive a 350Z with a 6 speed trany, and let me tell you its a nice car, but... my 1972 240Z "feels" faster. I don't know if my L24 engine is getting more torque or what but my Z deffinatly feels faster. Now i'm not saying my Z is faster, just that it "felt" faster. Am I crazy? Has anyone else had this experiance? Just incase you were wondering I'm run a stock L24 block with an E-88 head (rebuilt, steel seats, 3 angle valve job, the works) Motorsport header with a 2 1/2 inch exaust pipe into a dynomax muffler, SU carbs, and an 82 zx electronic ignition. I really need to get my car dyno'd. I would love to now what my 0-60 is. I'm dieing to hear other opinions.

Rock on!!!

Matt,

I know what you're saying.

I've not had a chance to drive a 350 , however I do own a 72-240 and a 90-300zx.

The 72 has headers, 2 1/2 exhaust, triple carb setup, msd box,

an L28 with a 5 speed.

I know the 300 is as fast if not faster.

But being able to hear the engine rev, listening to the raspy exhaust note, and even though I have installed sound deadening material I can still hear more road noise in my 240 than I can in my 300.

All this makes me feel like I'm flyin in the 72.

Plus I get more attention in the 240 than the 300.

That probably adds 50 more hp and another 35 mph on my top end !!!!!
