1981 Nissan 280ZX review from North America
"Good cheap performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission was replaced at 75,000 miles and normal maintenance costs.
General comments?
Very smooth ride with quick and very controllable handling. Was very fast off the line if you weren't afraid to push the car. In a block to block race with a good set of wide tires on it, I would race anything.
