How is the 280 for dd?
Thanks! The 280zx has treated me really well. I think it will share a lot of driving feel with the BRZ. Very well balanced and a blast to whip around corners. I've had to put in a new alternator/radiator but not much else to keep it on the road.

It really needs a full suspension overhaul as well as a lot of little restoration pieces (a lot of which is hard to come by these days, most of the reproduction parts are only made for the 240/260z). It sucks getting leaked on when it rains

I wouldn't mind getting another Z one day (240/260) for a full on project vehicle, but I'm really looking forward to a 2017 DD. Plus I'm going from 132hp to 205hp with almost identical weight!
