Posted November 9, 200519 yr comment_145158 Hi all. I figured i would create this thread for numerous reasons. First off how fast does a Z really go? from 0-60? 0-100? top speed? whats it do in the quarter mile? stock? modified? I thought it would be a good idea to make a thread where everyone can share their videos, times, and speeds of their Z and maybe get some competition goin... Lets hear it guys!

November 9, 200519 yr comment_145175 When I was 16 I had my 72 240 up to 120 MPH..........God I was dumb...It was on a 2 lane curvy road and I was lucky. I did think I was quite impressive to the girl in the passenger seat but I doubt it was true...

November 9, 200519 yr comment_145199 too many variables (What does "modified" mean? Modified HOW MUCH?), not to mention internet bragging, etc. Nothing of value to be gained here. now if you want to hear fairy tales.........Once upon a time I had my Z up to (fill in the blank) on the 21R runway at LAX with a 75mph tail wind. Boy was THAT a (jet)blast. :stupid: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/17939-how-fast-does-a-z-really-go/#findComment-145199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
November 9, 200519 yr comment_145200 I hate to be the guy that says see another thread. But I have to agree with bill on this one, we have gone over this many times. Like montoya says, it always ends up with an arguement of truth as well Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/17939-how-fast-does-a-z-really-go/#findComment-145200 Share on other sites More sharing options...
November 9, 200519 yr comment_145253 My 73 with L28, dished pistons, P90 and early su carbs tops out at about 4700 rpm and 105. Don't know if its low compression or fuel starvation.

Teenagers should be forced to drive pieces of $^!# by law.

And if my son has enough money when he's sixteen and wants a Z then he WILL have one. You would have, so why the double standard?
