Will a stock 240 get rubber in second?

[Jaykuo]

just wondering.....ill be purchasing one soon and this is just something im interested in...i want the car to travel at high speeds....but i would also like to see it have alittle tourqe.

In my experience, yep- at least a bit of "chirp". No smoky burn-outs in 2nd, unless you're really into abuse:( Gets expensive when you thrash 'em!

Seems to me that the Z's are built to drive/handle/be beautiful...if you're into tire chirps between shifts, sure...if you want to lay down serious rubber..Upgrade;) HTH

im not much into abuse.....chirps will satisfy me....i am 18....so this kinda stuff matters...

yeah if you can shift you can get her to "chirp"

if i can get my 86 yota pickup to chirp second i should hope to hell i could get a 240 too

pickups are easy to get squealin', because their light back ends. especially toyotas

this toyota dosnt have the tin can bed on it.....this has a pressure treated bed on it and is considerably heavier than the previous scrap....this toyota also has 220,000 miles on it.......so i think second in that is pretty damn good..

my 94 toyota corolla peels out like a mudda i get a little more than a chirp and i got beat by a z by like 2 secs... im sure it can... im getting my own z soon

My 72 240z's got some pretty skinny tires on it right now (just got it, haven't had time to change 'em yet) and it lays down some nice rubber into 2nd and a small chip into 3rd on a stock engine (for now).

I know what your talking about when u say your 18 and it matters...to lay down rubber..i am 16 and bought my first car and it being a 240Z i am not "GOOD" at shifting but pretty decent and i wanted to see what it was like when it came to that and i managed to do it..anyways just my two cents...and i also don't drive my car hard...I was just seeing what it could do...

Depends on tire width and road surface, they will chirp in second but why? You aren't going to abuse it are you. Drive in style....... Make everyone envious but respect it. If you want torque, the cheapest way is to put an L28 in it. Although fanatical orginalist will hate me saying that. Go Zed.............
