I recently posted 13 articles about the 280ZX that range from road tests when the cars were new to higly modified ZXs to one V8 ZX that won the Grassroots Motorsport Challenge. All of these articles (and many more articles) were posted in the Non-Tech Board of Hybrid Z. If you want to see all of the articles (47), many of which are about V8 Zs, do a search in the Non-Tech Board (http://forums.hybridz.org/forumdisplay.php?f=59) using article as the search term.

Happy reading!

[I added several more after my earlier post, per NismoPick's good suggestion to keep them consolidated in one post.]

Thanks for putting those up, some good info there.

 

I really enjoyed the articles on the ZX Turbo. It goes to show how people don't really realize what the ZX really was and just look at the initial 1979 ZX and set the bar there and don't look past it.

 

I think more people are starting to realize the ZX is a pretty good car.

Just FYI. I posted a total of 45 articles in the Non-Tech Board (I post a few each week). Since I have a V8, many of the articles are V8 oriented and/or cover other models of Zs. Different strokes for different folks.

definately some cool articles

 

I added several more to my earlier post, per NismoPick's good suggestion to keep them consolidated in one post. I don't know how to change the title of the post from 11 articles to the new total of 13 articles.
