I know... I NEVER see another Z32 on the road. But, plenty of Porsches...

I had a 370 catch up to me yesterday and try to blow past me with his fart pipes blarting like he was some race car driver. It was hilarious 😂😂😂!

I worked at the Mecum Auction in Houston Friday, April 15th and drove this ‘83 280 ZX across the auction block. It was in great condition with 59,600 miles, 5sp, A/C, T Tops. It went for $38k. Everything worked & I had forgotten about the digital dash. Sorry the dash pic did not come out too well. Nice to see there was a lot of interest for this car.

Since I have been waiting, like many of us, for a Z, I spent some of my set aside money on my ‘72-240. I had the engine cosmetically refreshed, with new plating, etc. The engine bay was probably a 6.5-7 & now I think it is a 9.5. When I got it back, the engine looked so good that I clay barred & waxed my car.

I personally like the original grill design. It truly harkens back to the 240 just with no bumper beam breaking it up. I never felt it was too large or look ugly personally, but I know I'm in the minority.

This, while okay, doesn't really improve the looks of the car. I'm sure a lot of people will like it though. Regardless it's a Nismo version so you expect it to be more functional in its appearance.
