I like the grey one, apart from the lack of rear bumper. Interesting to see the 350 seats in there.

Its a Corvette in Z clothing! Not sure of the point but then it is American:rolleyes:

Reckon it'll be pulled over within minutes by the Police in the UK with the heavy window tint.

Sad to see another Z ruined :(.

I don't know about ruined - I'd say improved dramatically considering the utterly horrid US federal 5 mph impact bumpers have been done away with. The standard 280Z is not a good looking car IMO.

Plus the screen isn't particularly tinted, which is what matters legally.

Relax, get your slippers on and have a nice Horlicks! :D It'll help you forget about all these non-standard Zs everywhere! :p

The grey one is definitely the cooler of the two though. Nicely executed all round and pretty tasteful mods. Really like the Rota Grids in the aluminium finish - in that size and offset they manage to straddle modern and classic looks.

I prefer my Zs standard but, that's a seriously nice condition hybrid!

Although it may be a Police magnet, it does look very Batman's s30!!!

On that note, my friend's Gold (1.6L!!) MKII escort with Cosworth body kit was forever getting pulled for no reason and given a 7 day producer. On one 25 mile trip he got pulled 3 times by Thames Valley Police - who clearly are very busy fighting crime and appearing on Sky programmes - but he made a point of always being jovial and courteous to them.

What I was surprised about though is his glove compartment had 30-40 7 day producer slips as he just didn't bother produce anymore and the cops never followed up about it.

Thankfully the car is no more as it was quiet embarrassing to be seen in ;)

Back to the Z - doesn't an LS conversion dramatically reduce the weight up front and make he car handle better?

Interesting that the black one has 18" wheels but managed to squeeze 17" tyres on them! I'm sure a video of the tyre shop fitting them would be good for youtube.
