Hey guys. Coming out of hiding to share a cool video

Featured Replies

Wow it's been so long since I was last here. I feel like the new guy posting for the first time LOL

Anyways, what brought me back was to share this sweet video I just found tonight on you tube. Maybe some of you have seen it already. It's from a show called Moto-man where they did a 40th anniversary show on the Z with the Legendary Mr K.

A must see for all Z Car Lovers. I felt like it would be a sin to not post it on here.

Enjoy and hope all is well, (hope the link works) :)

Enjoyed hearing Z car engineer/designer Yoshihiko Matsuo describing his unauthorized top speed run (200 kph=124 mph). Hadn't seen this before.

Glad the link worked :)

Yeah Awesome video. I loved hearing how he thought up of all the little details which made the car so legendary (Like him) for example how he designed the Z with a larger hatch compared to others in it's class and how he got the idea to use the gas strut or "Air Spring" as he calls it from visiting some air plane hanger to support the larger size hatch gate and now today they're being used on ALL vehicles. Just amazing. Guys like Yoshihiko Matsuo are for sure a rare and awesome breed. It had to take a guy like him to create such a awesome and amazing car like the 1st gen. Z Car.
