i absolutely hate these cars and the majority people who own them my dads friend had one when i was younger, he used to dog on my dad’s alfa all of the time, prob bc it didnt have a siiiqqqq nasty V8. he took me for a ride in it (when i was younger my dad would take me out all the time in the alfa, through twistie roads, its part of my problem) he hammered on it and i was like “this is it?” mind you, i was only like 12 it was automatic. his name is rick and his wifes name is linda. he had a vanity plate that said “RICKLIN” these are the types of people who own these cars so no ---

I can’t imagine a cam swap would be cost effective since they have 4 cams, lol. Lingenfelter modded a bunch of them with cams and porting and got them over 600hp N/A but i’m sure it wasn’t cheap.

I dont think I’d care much about the interior because if rip most of it out. I wonder if I could make overfenders for a 240z fit. Jam, the fact that that’s the kind of people that own it is the reason I kinda wanna do it. ---

You should have seen the look on the 'Vette owners faces when choko came rumbling into Dunkin Donuts one day at a car cruise a few months ago, lol. Noses were up in the air, lol.

Im thinking black c4, absurdly slammed with tons of stretch and poke over something polished, with huge bushwhacker style flair like this…I couldn’t hate it. ![http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/Features/rat_240z/IMG_2870.jpg](http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Linhbergh%20Nguyen/Features/rat_240z/IMG_2870.jpg) ---

I always thought the ZR1’s were pretty awesome. Like Joelster mentioned, they had bulging rear fenders and and nice set of fat wheels that gave them a good lock stock. Fix the wheel gap and you’re off to a good start. All the C4 haters in here need to go back to 1984 when this platform debuted. Back then this car was big news with it’s all new chassis and suspension that had it out-cornering the Countach. Off the bat the engines were a bit weak, but keep in mind from 84-96 the 350 smallblock grew from 205hp to 405hp! That’s pretty impressive progress in my book. Okay, that’s it for my history lesson. It’s just too bad that so many old men tarnished this car’s possitive traits. ---

I think it needs an airdam of some sort. I don’t like how the nose hangs so far forward then comes back. It needs to go out and then just drop down from there. ---
