    Do we have to go with the US specs ?

    Hitachis twin carbs on the 240Z - uuuuurgh.

    It's a no-brainer if it's fitted with the triple Webers as over here - The 240Z !!!

    So, sorry, to ask for confirmation, but are we comparing the real car or the brain-damaged versions

    Man, I just absolutely love the styling on the 240z. Always have. With minimal tuning that things a rocket.

    Rotary's are nice technology, but they need to be fine tuned. My father had an RX-7 and he had it in the shop every other week. A friend of mine got an RX-8, but also had frequent engine problems, so he got rid of it.
