They are awesome cars. Tho the one area they lack in is their body roll. They feel very unstable in the corners. With good suspension mods they are a kick to drive. Its a strange feeling when kicking them sideways since you are sitting so far back on the wheel base.

My buddy has 2, one a 72 w/ everything stock except for a Datsun "rally" steering wheel. It was auto, but man o man I was impressed! Now I finally get it why these cars are immensly popular! He drove my CA18 S13 after I drove his Z, and while impressed with the power, noise, and control we both agreed the Z was just somehow more special. Hats off to you guys who keep the true spirit of Datsun/Nissan alive and kicking!

BTW: His other Z is a 71, L28T, T3/T04 .54 A/R w/ a 10 deg clip on exhaust wheel, uprated fuel system, etc. Should be running eventually;)

oh yea, these cars are a blast, with not too much suspension it eliminates the body roll and rids stiff.
