Hopefully an alltrac 165 or 185 I don't really care, but I would rather want a 165.


give your reasoning to why you would choose that vehicle and why you wouldn't chose the other.

In need of a rust free chassis!!!!

All good cars. Personally I am looking at a Datsun 280z to fix up and be exempt from emissions here in California if my plans for the MR2 do not follow through.

From your selection, I say 165!

WHY? Why not the 240Z or 260Z.

The 280s have park benches on them. You know, those big massive bumpers the 280Z had to meet US safety requirements when the S30 lineup was refreshed. I can see how you would want the L28 but I think any potential speed you will make up will be lost by the added weight of those chrome monstrosities on the front and back. Still, anything S30 is still a beautiful car. If you get one, you should make your first mod adding a seatbelt to the front bumper, so you can drive an extra couple of friends around on it wink.gif

You can remove it, can't you? I believe I have seen it done. Ok, maybe 260z, but still want 280z and wouldn't mind doing some body work to it.

Sorry to be off topic.
