Plenty of love for the car. Just not what this guy did to his.
It's criminal to mess with a 240Z like that.

The car looks much better stock. You don't see many Ferrari GTO or 375GTB owners festooning flares and wings on their cars!

Here's mine:




In the interests of high-speed stability and reduced drag at 140mph, I did tack on the BRE front and rear spoilers, but painted them satin black to minimize the visual impact.

It's, er, faster than it looks

Aw man I got the Caesar!

I think the headlight covers do a lot for the 240Z's front end.

Looks like a Porsche 944.

When the Porsche 924 first came out, the immediate comparisons were to the 240Z. Both were great looking for their time.

Sorry, that body kit looks like @ss. All it is missing are louvers on the rear window.

If I was going to put a different face on a 240Z it would be a Ferrari GTO kit. I've seen a couple of those that were sexy as hell.

Here's mine. I agree that old school is best on the early Z's. I bought mine from Grassroots Motorsports back in the late 80's. I loved it.
