I've always had a soft spot for the Z-Cars ever since the early 70's, and I just read the Car and Driver short review of the car and I must say, at least on paper, I am impressed. the exterior dimensions and the wheelbase were shrunk and the HP is up to 330, but torque is a little low at 270. I wonder how much that can be improved. The wheels are a little bit, 19 inches, but hey at least there not 20's. It also comes with 4 piston brakes. They managed to keep the weight at 3300-3400 lbs, meet the new crash test standards, and Nissan claims the car is stiffer than the last model. The question is, will it be a competitive Street Prepaired car. I think the current model runs in BSP. Could this be a potential replacement for the SS when the time comes. I'm not sure, but I do know for sure I won't be buying a 2 Ton pig.

At least in S/P autox trim, cars that start very heavy have more weight to lose with simple parts substitutions.....
I would be willing to bet that the wheels/tires, exhuast, seats and battery are absolutely rediculas massive on that car. Just a guess but I'd say a 3500lb S/P 5th gen Camaro is possible.....Maybe less....... |
