What makes a Z a Z? What modifacations go too far to be called a Z?

[madkaw]

Not sure how I wanted to comment on this issue, so I have procrastinated .

After putting 300 miles on my car this last weekend I have decided that the L6 has to been in the car to remain a Z. I have had a lot of nice cars, but the Z motor is the best sounding engine by far of all of them and makes the Z car what it is.

As far as body mods, as long as the original lines are not altered -maybe just extenuated ( i.e. Spoiler, airdam) .

The classic lines are to nice to alter.

I would wonder what hasn't been modified on that car. The person would have been better off just buying a corvette to start with. It's worse than the car in the movie Corvette Summer.

YUK.

Stainless Steel bolt kits, for the engine or the body or interior..... Modification or 'upgrade?'

IMO, it's an upgrade in most places, especially places that will get exposed to the elements of Mother Nature, a long as they are not polished to a chrome-like sheen. Also, stainless steel bolts aren't needed for the interior of the S30, and aren't even exposed, so the original or hardware-store fasteners are adequate.

You'll need the big engine to put that snow plow front around on the highway.

I would keep it in the garage. .. With the door CLOSED.
