July 1, 200222 yr comment_9754 Maybe someone should pay Mr Greene a visit and ask for a test drive of his atmospheric supercharged 240z "GTO"His address as listed on his patent application of his "Motion acoustic holgragh" patent no 5,627,319 is:29301 Carmel Rd., Sun City, CA 92586 (in 1996/7)This information is freely available on the us patent site - Link to patent:http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=/netahtml/search-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=pall&s1='5,627,319'&OS="5,627,319"&RS="5,627,319"sounds like lights and mirrors, and his webpage sound like BS.And the 240z was inspired by porsche, not ferarri. The guy that was part of the early design work wanted to make the 240z based on the overall dimensions of the 911. He used to work for bmw I believe, and porsche and was responsible for the design of the datsun silvia. (sp311?), but left nissan/datsun long before the zed was put into production...or so I read somewhere. go to: zhome.com/History/history.html and learn. It's a really interesting read.Mr C.

July 2, 200222 yr comment_9776 Yep, his name was Albert Goertz. I believe he was also the designer behind the Toyota 2000GT and the original BMW 507 - both of which are very tasty looking cars.

July 2, 200222 yr comment_9787 This idiot just wants to steal peoples hard earned $$$. I had a 82 280zx with turbo injectors and a turbo head that was running 310HP. I took most of the interior out and did a few other lightening mods. I raced a 95 300ZXTT with exhaust and a superchip and spanked it. And I did that without the help of "Atmospheric Supercharging BS". I've never heard of that garbage in my life.

I sure wish they used him designing the 350 dont you!!!

August 23, 200222 yr comment_13827 Hey that 250 gto was on sale here in aus not too long ago. the body was a replica that can go on a 240z chasis. I can tell cause it had same set of wheels and the background was the same too and he was selling it for i thingk $6g's. What a wanker!

August 23, 200222 yr comment_13861 I doubt he has the GTO , or any other Zcar. He is no doubt a low life scum E-Thief Scam artist. He obviously has no Idea what he is talking about. Too bad his add is not in front of some attorney general some where. This boy needs to go down.

August 23, 200222 yr comment_13898 "...A clever engine builder can tune the length of the intake tract to precisely time the arrival of an incoming pulse with the valve opening. This natural supercharging packs slightly more intake air into the cylinder, increasing power. If engineers were designing the Murciélago only for peak power, short intake tracts—timed for high rpm—would be fine. But the engine would be weak or even stumble at low rpm, with the pulses out of phase. Thus, Lamborghini counters with a butterfly valve that forces the intake through a longer bypass at low engine speeds, much as a trumpet valve changes a trumpet's pitch. ....

August 23, 200222 yr comment_13899 In 'his' 240z the "GTO" means 'GASTRO-INTESTINAL-ORIFICE'What do you guys think?? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/1509-atmospheric-supercharging/?&page=2#findComment-13899 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 23, 200222 yr comment_13902 sounds logical.... However I still think this guy is full of it. He is probably just legal enough to stay out of jail.
