240Z vs GN

I caught him coming out of a local hangout, the car sounded real good maybe a V8? I pulled up beside him and opened the dump and gave 'em a rev.

We were doing about 30-35mph he hit first and had a half of car on me real quick. I nailed it and sputtered just a tad then the boost came up (running 20) and it came alive we were even before you knew it. I hit 3rd and started pulling ever so slowly I had a car on him at about 80mph or so before we both let off because of traffic ahead.

I ran into him again at car show a few weeks later very nice car dark blue 240Z with a V8. Not your typical Nissan, this one was powered by a LS1 with a cold ait kit and headers. And I don't think the car weighed more than about 2800lbs, a hellva sleeper just not enough for the Buick.

The guy said he was a former GN owner and had a few other toys as well , nice guy.

wow, impressive kill. there's a guy around here with a cammed ls-1 in a 2nd gen. rx-7 i need to run when I get my car up and running again. ls-1s are no joke even in an f-body, and even more so in a lighter car, so you definitely get some bragging rights on that one.

A Sweet Kill!!! Something you don't hear about to often a 240Z with a LS1 interesting.

There used to be factory produced 240Z's with GM 350's in them. They were called Scarabs. I guy I used to play competative soft ball with up in San Jose had one.

Fast and light weight.

Fast86GN - awesome kill. Those 240's have an issue putting power down. But you have to love the torque of these lil V-6s.


There is a guy here around Austin that has a 240Z with a 383 and a 88 turbo, that damn thing is brutal :biggrin:

Too much power, he has ripped the shocks out of the back once already :tongue:
