I still own a '78 280Z. They may not be aerodynamic, but mine, with a turbo engine does 0-60 in less than 4 seconds and gets to 110mph in a 1/4 mile. And I got 29 mpg cruising through the Rockies at 70mph.

I stripped the bumpers, but still have gaping open headlights. I put on a big air dam and now the steering doesn't get light at 120mph, and I've pushed up to 130mph. I just love the way it looks. I may modify it further to run on E85...
