There are always exceptions, but most kids THESE days (ever heard that before?) don't know how to appreciate good things given to them. Why I had to ride a school bus through the snow to school everyday, both ways up hill.

DatsunZGuy, where's you get that avatar?

zman, it's the Forward of a historical book. It's permanent, it can't be changed. How the hell could anyone write something so damn sloppy, unless they really meant it. I would never have written it like that, at least out of politeness. For crying out loud, Z owners are the audience and buyers of this book. No of course it isn't or wasn't the best performing car he ever drove, but to put that stuff in a book that Z car lovers are going to buy is low. I'm thinking some other words, but out of respect for his stature I'll refrain.

I'd adjust the title to 280Z green ignition wire to get more hits.

Of course no one would be offended when the Z god speaks. He didn't say, American sports car or a poor handling sports car, he said American car. A Cadillac Fleetwood is an American car. Forget it, I'm the idiot here, what do I know. For $3500 I guess it should have come in like a Ferrari, but it came in like a wallowing hog as I've heard on this very board. I guess the 510 he raced was like driving an F100.

My dad has had two-part epoxy industrial floor sealer on his garage for years. No problems.

Thanks for the support there Lance. It's really great to have the Forward of a book dedicated to the Z say it was basically a piece of $^!#, and handled like an American car. I'm so inspired.

Anyone else get this book. I just got my copy today. John Morton wrote the initial Forward. John Morton is a racing hero in the Z world and others. I've never met John Morton. Here is a single paragraph of what he wrote... There was a lot more and it didn't all sound like this, but I am upset at these words. I'm still stunned by those words. :hurt:

Anyone ever try this...

This is great guys, but how about some photos??? We gotta have'em.

Here's my first entry into the contest with this wonderful product from MSA. See if you can beat this and other entries. Every Z should have a CHROME fan kit, don't you? If you want your Z to have that '57 Chevy aura, get this product.

What two things would those be? :stupid:

I'll have to check with Carl, I don't remember a production Z being in existence in 1968.

A lot, I didn't get mine till I was 33, you shouldn't either. :devious: When I was 16 the oldest Z was 7 years old. You didn't just go buy one like now even $3K doesn't seem like much. Back then it was a hefty sum. In 1973 the best Cadillac you could buy was about $11K. Anyway, it's just me mashing my sour grapes at how easy it is for you kids to get a car like that. Grrrr. I drove a 1963 Oldmobile Dynamic 88 rust bucket when I was a jr/sr in high school. Kids don't seem to drive old cars like they use to, not counting your Z. I see lots of kids driving virtually new cars, even BMW's and Mercedes.

16 yo kids shouldn't own Z's damnit, that's for older drivers who've paid their dues. Teenagers should be forced to drive pieces of $^!# by law.

I never thought of it that way, you have a point. BTW, it must have been interesting rolling off those ramps. :nervous:

Hey, where is Bambikiller? I haven't seen him for ages. Something didn't happen to him did it?

Ed, I think you can safely say most people.

My rear struts are completely shot and my Z doesn't do that, and I've taken onramps at 70 mph.

I think it's a personal choice after the front "spook" (spoiler/scoop), but breaking up the rear turbulence is not a bad thing. I guess "spoop" would have been embarrassing.

At least you weren't hurt, and at least it was not the Z.

And what is a Series I interior and Series II body metal?

Don't send him to the one I'm in.

There's another new one for me. No one has ever told my '73 manifolds are better performers. I'm not sure about water passage, but it might have something to do with the angle the carbs are mounted at.

How about the grounding point over the gas tank?
