Hello,

Just to give a heads up. My brother that builds roads just called me. He can't swear to it, but he thinks a 390Z just whizzed past him near Jacksonville NC. Camp Lejuene is there. He said the car passed close enough he could have reached out and touched it. It was moving fairly fast through the construction zone; but he said as it passed he was fairly certain the numbers were 390, not 370.

Anybody heard of one comming out yet? I just did some research, I couldn't find anything.

Have a nice day:cool:

Tell your brother it's time to get glasses.

It's possible that the crafty owner modified the 370Z plate to read 390Z to reflect the result of some engine work. Hell, I saw Mercedes badges on a Hyundai Sonata two weeks ago. Not a lot of brain power going on there.

I always mix up the Ford Granada and the Mercedes sedan when I come out of the opera.

I actually DID have a kid tell me today, "Wow, you never see 250 Z's anymore." I just said 'You're absolutely right."

That would be my guess. Or the glasses thing.

;D

Here's the last 250 I read about....

While in the paint shop a guy delivering parts asked if it was a 260 or 280, I told him it was a 240. He said he had never heard of that one.

You could have told him that a 240 was 8.33% lighter than a 260 and 16.67% lighter than a 280. Which would make the 240 about 50% lighter than a 370.

Hell - I was 27% lighter 40 years ago too.

Interestingly, in 40 years, I'm only 7% heavier, but 40% lighter in the hair department.
