Great driver but not practical, just as expensive to maintain as any vintage car.Love the car itself but hate its federal bumpers. Ity makes me and my loved ones smile.Great acceleration, average braking and handling.The S30 chassis is the Best Datsun and Z car made.Sep 27, 2010

I just love driving this car. The drive was just out of this world. You could just feel the road when driving this car. Just a raw sports car. I loved how easy it was to change the brakes on this car. I could do both disk breaks in 15 minutes. But I got ride of the car and boy do I miss itApr 30, 2010

I love the curves. The hips are my favorite. They slope back in a classic Aston way. I love where the door handles are too. The inline six is an amazing bit of gear. You just don't see those much any more. The car running on 5 cylinders, with blown rear shocks, and glitchy brakes is still fun to drive. I cannot imagine what it will be like when my Z is fully restored. Nov 21, 2009

Gotta be my favorite car in the world! Slip into it like an old pair of jeans - lots of power under the hood and she handled like a dream. It is my goal to find another one at some point.Nov 17, 2009

in line six that pulls hard threw all the gears and the indipendnt suspension will keep you glued to the road. The best thing about this car is the technoligy under the hood. In 1976 had a full on bosch fuel injection system that still is used today!Aug 19, 2009

Removed the fuel injection and installed dual Weber carbs, headers, monza exhaust. Lowered the car with Koni shocks & springs. Installed a whale tale (don't laugh...it was cool in 1988). Oil cooler, B&M Trans Pack essentially made my automatic a manual.
When I was ready to install the fender flares and get it to the paint/body shop..I blew the engine racing a vette. ;-(
Basically said...'never again'.Apr 08, 2008

This car is a 30-year-old autocross wizard. With a 2.8liter inline 6 all in a car thats the same size as a mazda miata, it performs pretty wellJan 25, 2008

most cars in the 70 had a bad rust prolobem. so be carefull when buying a car from that era. great looks, amazing interior, and it had a solid motor. buy one only if your have to time to put in to it.Jan 17, 2008
