    And kicking but it is. I'll try not to brag too much. I actually find it surprising more than anything, but I have NOT come across any car other than V8 powered ones and an XKE, which has more straight line speed including other Z's. I'm still pinching myself from a recent race at Gingerman where it out dragged 3 911's on the opening lap. And this is from a motor which technically can be more powerfull (has the 2nd largest Schneider cam) I have to admit though, they had me in the turns. This is my first year racing, so hopefully my driving skill and car prep will only improve.

    Thanks for the compliments guys. It's really not as nice as it looks in the pics, probably a 15 footer. With that said I have heard from a few different Council members that it's too nice. But in vintage you're not taking the same risks as other classes. Here's some more pics for anyones who's interested: zdriver gallery HybridZ gallery - all on-track pics

    Great pics, thanks. It was understood that Greg now has Grayson's old Z. My question is what's Grayson up to now? Is he done with EP, or are the guys at ERadz (spelled right??) preparing another car for him? I'd be interested to hear more on the Porch (Porsche) syncros.

    Looks like Mr. Ira did pretty good, 14th, at the Runoffs. I didn't see Doug Piner's car, but Don Ahrens was the highest placed Z in, 6th. I always root for my local guy, Ken Kannard, but it looks like he DNF'd early in the race. Anyways I'm looking forward to watching the race....in 2 months on Speed! 2005 Runoffs EP results here What happened to Grayson Upchurch? From the previous posts I understand they sold the car, but he's nowhere in the lineup. Did they just give up? Maybe building a car for next year?

    Hey guys, my first "official" post. At HybridZ they're always harping on the newbees for not searching, and I'm assuming this has been covered here before. Anyways, the US market 77-78 doors have a completely redesigned latch assembly and are not interchangable with the earlier ones. But technically a 240 door will fit a 280, as long as it's a '75-76. I have a '76 door on my '73 now. The door beam in the later makes it way heavier, but I gutted out the entire door anyways and cut it out (road racer).

    Hello everyone. I thought I'd introduce myself. I've known about this site for a while now, but for some reason didn't think to join in on the fun. It looks like I'll be right at home here, there's a few familiar names. I'm also a member at HybridZ, Zdriver.com, and was an early member of the IZCC, back in '94??. I got my first Z, a rusted out '77, when I was 19 and have never looked back. I now road race a 240 with Midwest Council Sports Car Club's vintage/historic group.
