I woudn't pay 19K for it either. I agree with you there Carl. Vicky

Is the 3.545 the best gearing for off the line or 1/4 miles times? I'd think the best would be a 3.90 for quick launches and it would be able to handle some top end, no? Vicky

Well since we all here own Z's it helps us :classic: Vicky

Maybe it's the color, I don't know. I really don't like the pumpkin colored Z's. Could also be the photographs. The car looks "dusty". Remember, we want these cars to sell for this type of price. It helps us all in the long run. Vicky

I just can't get over those hooks up under the rear bumper. Are they not removable? Vicky

I bet it'll run on Comedy Central since the show was a joke IMO. The only good part was when they showed the Z's BEFORE they touched them and the Z history was interesting. It's possible they'll run it again this weekend as so many of the weekly shows on the Discovery, History and Learning Channel are repeated during Saturday and Sunday. Can you try and e-mail the History channel and ask about a re-run or a possible video? Most of the other programs are offered on video. Just a thought Vicky

Everyone get the MSA Holiday flyer? What do you guys think of that Performance Electric Water Pump on page 12? It says it reduces cavitations. What is a cavitation? Do you no longer need a fan with this application or is meant to be used with an electric fan? Vicky

Agreed Mike Backyard modifications at best. Did anyone think the 390 Holley carb was a bit much considering they did nothing to the internals other than the cam. The cars seems "bogged" down at the green light. Vicky

A 572ci will require some modification (lots) to the engine bay. Know a friend that's putting one in a pristine 1970 240Z and it will not just slide right in. The car is having a whole "frame" built to help keep it from twisting due to the massive engine torque. I personally think it's overkill since the car is not even going to be raced. The person just has the attitude that bigger is better and that is not always true IMO. Vicky

What's a BA Falcon? Vicky

Very nice Joe. Do it right the first time and there will be no second time. Looks great Vicky

I was suprised the 350Z engine fit in the Honey Bee. The show has really changed since it first debued. All the "freebies". They used to only have 3K to spend. Now brand new vehicles are donated to the cause. Total build on the Honey Bee was around 38K because the 350Z was given to them and they include the price of the new vehicle. Hell, anyone of you guys could do the same thing if all that stuff was just "given" to you. Jesse said it took him 10 years to find his clean white Honey Bee that he drove there. He said it was only second to his favorite '54. The paint job was a joke. I didn't think "Bee" at all, I thought jail break. That car will end up in the scrap heep out back with all the other builds they've done. What a shame Vicky

Actually Carl there were car shows going on in between hurricanes. After being boarded up for days , ya need to get out and show the car. Then you put it back in the garage, board up your home and wait for next weekends show. I'd love to move to California, but Scott will not budge from "paradise". Vicky

Winter storage, hahaha. The best solution is to move to Florida. Come on guys we can run and show all year around. Vicky

hmmmm, kinda like what happened when the Z came to our shores. Vicky

Tonite they butcher the Honey Bee on Monster Garage. Just wanted to let everyone get prepared with Kleenex. Vicky

OK now Bill with all the Z cars and parts you have, you must get a functional Z going by April in time for MSA. :laugh: ............or at least one that can become your trusted daily driver. Vicky

Congrats Bill! After you get some rest, post some pics of the Z. Glad you made it home safe and sound. Vicky
