Default Fairwell to the Z

Well my 91 300zx TT will be leaving this week. Even though I have fallen in love with the S, I have driven Zs for over 20 years so it is a little sad seeing it go.

I have had this car for over 11 years and it was the fastest car i have ever owned.
It is a stage 2.5 that is putting out ~390HP. It has: Stillen intake exhaust, Stillen intake, race pipes, eibach springs, tokiko shocks, full adjustable suspension. It also has 152K miles on it as it was my daily driver for ten years. After driving the S for the last 6 months, driving the Z feels like driving M1 Abrahms tank. Despite all of it's power, it weighs 3600 lb. Stopping has always been an issue with this car.

The bright side is I will be doing some mods on the S with the proceeds of the sale and getting rid of insurance on it. Mods for my car are going to be stereo, intake and exhaust to start with.

Here are a few pics of my two cars together for tha last time.

Sucks to see it go, but now you have modding the S to look forward to

The thought has crossed my mind. The thought of more horsepower than the Z with 800 lb les weight is mind bending.
