Are you serious? You can fit a V8 in a 260 or 280, so you might want to check under the hood. Otherwise, you have much more power than a stock 260/280.

Geez, let me pull out my crystal ball and see......

Just go and find out, why does this question come up 3 times a day?!?!?! What is the deal, you won't race someone unless Maxima.org says you have a fair chance of winning?

yeah it's kind of like not asking a girl to dance due to the whole rejection thing...not No I am not into racing the guy on a federal installation I was just pretty annoyed by his riding in my backseat on the way to work today and wondered if he knew something I didn't. I am a previous 91 300ZX TT and know what those cars are capable of I just wasn't sure if their performance dated back that far. Jeez try to make conversation and get bombarded!!

some people perhaps dont know the capabilities of other cars and want a comparison. sometimes they just go about it the wrong way.

That being the case, they should limit themsleves to magazine racing or car-stat comparisons and not worry about it and not bother us unless they plan on finding out themselves. Crap, EVEN if we had a comprehensive listing of cars, capabilities, and timeslips IN BOLDFACE AT THE TOP OF THE FORUM....there would ALWAYS be this kind of thread around here. It just won't die.

My buddy has a 82 280zx and that thing is a dog. The inline 6 in those bad boys only pushes about 150-160hp and even the turbo models don't even clear 200 hp. You'll have no problem with him.

Well, let's see:

1. My point is logical.
2. My point makes common sense.
3. My point is supported by others.
4. My point is presented in a way which demonstrates control of capitalization and grammar.
5. It is my freaking opinion and at least as valuable as yours, just presented in a much better fashion.

Yeah my point in the question was because I spent 5 years in Okinawa Japan and witnessed the 280s beat up on the fast sylvias and in some situations the Skyline GS-t (single turbo)I wasn't sure if the mods could be the same here as they were over there. And I wasn't looking for reassurance in if I raced him I was just thinking of the comparison (weight, torque, and HP) similar to the thread a while back regarding the Lincoln LS. Thanks for the responses though.

those early 80's/late 70's z have incrediblly light weight. don't just look at HP's, look at HP/pound for those cars, they are not that far behind in terms of HP/pound compared to yours . yeah for the non-turbo ones you shouldn't have too much to worry about. but watch out for the turbo z's
