Mr Camouflage Posted January 2, 2004 Share #13 Posted January 2, 2004 Originally posted by That Ozzy Guy I saw this very good looking girl so I had to let her pass even though I was holding up traffic. She didn't take her eyes off of the car (couldn't be me cause I'm below par as they say). As I turned the corner I had to look back and lo and behold she'd stopped and was further checking out the car. At this point my head hit the passenger side window. :classic: Maybe she thought it was a ferrari, since you "forgot" to put the Dastun badges back on.

TomoHawk Posted January 2, 2004 Share #14 Posted January 2, 2004 I couldn't pass up buying myself a "Cavalino Rampante" off eBay a while back. I might just put it on the hatch of my car, or should I put it between the taillights? I also got a chrome "FERRARI" to go on the hatch. Guess I answered my question.

Zrush Posted January 2, 2004 Share #15 Posted January 2, 2004 Back in the early 80's, a co-worker took me for a ride in her Z. The car was primo. After that, I knew I had to have one. A few weeks later, as if the Z Gods had blessed me, I found a super clean 1978 280Z. It was a four speed and I couldn't drive it. Bought the car (I had to), had a friend drive it home and it sat in my garage until I learned to drive a 4 speed. I learned to shift on an old Volkswagon my uncle had. Since then I have always had a Z! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/3999-my-first-ever-drive-in-my-z/?page=2#findComment-62606 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomoHawk Posted January 8, 2004 Share #19 Posted January 8, 2004 Is Z28 short for Z280? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/3999-my-first-ever-drive-in-my-z/?page=2#findComment-63320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zrush Posted January 8, 2004 Share #20 Posted January 8, 2004 Sorry, I thought someone was referencing that "other Z car" meaning the Chevy Camaro Z28.

TomoHawk Posted January 8, 2004 Share #21 Posted January 8, 2004 Exactly. . Chevrolet was too late to come out with a car like the Zed, so instead they renamed the camaro, "Z28" so people would think it was one!

Tourniqet Posted January 12, 2004 Share #22 Posted January 12, 2004 haha,Z28 is one of the letter-number codes used in the chevrolet plants to describe what the car is going to need put in it... I think it originated when one of the tech guys said ya this is the z28 model, and I guess the name stuck... Also all the other goodies like the z71, z24, zr2 etc... and my favorites. the Z06 and the ZR1. There is just something about the letter that makes the car seem a little more zzzzippy...
