1970 Nissan 240z C&D review is in some ways...

It's pretty funny reading about only having like 160hp. Even a small 2.0 liter NA can make over 200hp today, of course not as much torque but for that you always need displacement or turbos. The 370Z is my first Z and I'm loving it.

I'm hoping to do an engine swap in mine this summer.. I just can't decide RB 25/26 or SR20

There are some interesting characteristics that the modern day 370z mimics:

"...the engine noise is so unpleasant above 6500 that there is just no reason to ever go up there." rough engine noise at/near redline

"...an abnormally high level of road noise, particularly over tar strips and small bumps. The ride quality of the Z-car is actually quite comfortable for a sporting car of its class but the noise tends to make you think otherwise." tire noise

"Even as it is, the 240Z is worth its price. Just between you and us, when Datsun gets it all straightened around, it might be worth a little more." 370z=$31,910
