| Very few automobiles
in the world have gen- erated the excitement and emotional involvement associated with the Z-car. Keeping this in mind, it's not surprising to read that Motor Trend Magazine called the 300ZX, "the best all-around Z-car ever built." For 1986, Nissan has taken one more step in the thoughful evolution of a classic. At the heart of this Z is a 3-liter V-6 that is actually eight inches shorter and 15 percent lighter than the 280ZX. Yet the turbo model puts out 11% more power, a rousing 200 horsepower. That power gets to the road by way of an electronic control system that gives you the most efficient transmission of power at any speed. Combined with shocks you adjust electronically from the cockpit, the result is starting. |
In addition, an
electronic monitoring system keeps track of spark plugs that fire 42 times a second at 5000 RPM and a micro computer controls the fuel injection system making the Z a marvel of functional electronic wizardry. Outside, fender flares, housing wider tires, were integrated into the body. The air dam was extended and rocker panel extensions were added to reduce air turbulence under the car. All this, plus a wider track results in better handling than ever. Inside, a choice of electronic or analog instrumen- tation is offered, along with every conceivable luxury, including a resounding 80-watt, 6-speaker stereo system. The 300ZX, turbo or fuel injected. Once you get inside a Z, a Z will get inside of you. |
