.......you should care,thats not the right atitude to have about a Zed....consul

It's console not Consul - too much F*rd exposition in Essex.:p

Attitude ? Better than someone who DID modify a perfect standard an infintely rarer 260Z 2 seater :thumbs: !

So 5 240z for 1971
59 for 72
60 for 73

So excluding later imports , temporarily , do these figures in any way tally up with the cars on this site.
Or are there a lot less cars on this site?
Cars that are still tucked away from before the 90`s - thats anybodys guess.

Peasant, often mistaken for pleasant...or in his case pheasant for a flashy git whose bald **** is hidden by the fancy plumage designed to impress Dorises.

What if not all of the Zs are on this site.......?

Why wait 6 months for the better weather - do you not have roofs and central heating chez vous ?

Btw, the peskies are going to open the flood-gates for all the Eastern Europeans camped out in Northern France to trot over the water and we're gonna tax all the full lorries leaving the UK to pay for our increased subsidies.

What bad weather ?

So, a US citizen says that the youth 'should' leave and by golly several hundred thousand have done so - they're all in the UK, second 'rat' immigrant population after the Polish BUT they'll mostly all come back - the French are blindly nationalistic.:eek:

And Obélix has gone off to live in Belgium...well, that's one drunk driver less and he's rich enough to make the most of it - most ordinary Belgians pay more tax than you or I - Belgium just happens to have lower inheritance tax laws. And anyway, he has a Russian, or is that Putain (sic) passport now....Britain always worried about the PS here, leaving Nato and being matey with Moscow......

It aint no paradise here and times are hard but I can still afford health care and don't have to wait months or years. Great when you're getting on a bit :p !

Early chassis didn't have ventilation holes in the rear wings......

Yeah , that was the original post , was trying to find out the differences in the shells 8 years.Found out 1 or 2 differences but was mainly looking at the shell structure over the years and how it changed , if it did.

Found some useful info on zhome.com but none specific to the shell.I read about the cubby holes bit - so the shells did change , but cant find any info on exactly what they changed.

you will also find that early 260s were made of thinner metal,so in theory should be faster as they should be lighter,another way to look at it is they are lighter because they have roted quicker so there would be even less metall to drive around in,unless you get some fat frenchman in it with no hair then it will be slower,

".....faster" meaning top speed or acceleration ? Because if standard with it's diff ratio, a 240Z should out-accelerate a 260Z. On top speed a 260 should just be higher.......

Light is right and me and the car's on a diet <950kgs the pair of us.

Is the rear part of the chassis different to cater for an R200 ?

Is that 950kgs each you over-fed french person,now here is a fact ,a 240z is quicker up to 50 mph,a 260z will start to get past after this speed,it might have to be fitted with the 240z carbs though,cant remember the exact data on this subject,also on paper the 260 is 2 mph faster,that is why french people prefer 260s cos they can run away quicker

Over-fed ? Your country has a higher obesity ratio than us - maybe it's all that binge drinking which'll cool off now beer costs more eh ? ...although they're catching up here with ready-meals etc.....

Any 260Z modified doesn't count you tart and I'd be surprised to see a 260Z limo out-run a 240 here...didn't you know, the 2 seater was never imported ;) !

If later doors don't fit early versions and 240s, does that mean the door openings are different ?
