It was interesting to read about the V-8 Z car as one was in the Trader for
sale and my wife
said "No way are you getting a Z with that much power". So we bought the
280 I had been looking at
and it is plenty fast. (wish I could have at least driven the V-8 :-)
I had been searching the web sites looking for info on Z's. Your right a V-8
does fit very well if you
know how. And if you have the money you can make it weigh the same and
balance the same.
You read about it on the site below.
