3.1 Stroker build up will allow more power to wheel's with a smaller lighter car. I don't know sqawt about turbo's. why i don't want to go that route, but a turbo motor full assembled(- turbo charger) is for sale, just got to pull, but i dought i will go that route

my ZX is in fair shape. usall amount of rust(under driver carpet, and under batt) I would have to replace the driver door, or spend countless hour's of body work to get it lookin decent. the Z is in better shape, with the new clutch slave cylinder, lines be bleed, air to tire's, she can drive home. just have to pull over everry few min's to let cool down. Cause a fan can't fit between the motor and radiator. I am just having to many problems trying to get my Z started, I am cosidering my option's.

in a ZX vs. Z. I'd have to say the ZX sounds like the overall better choice. As has been discussed, it's more aeordynamic, slightly longer wheelbase, a little sturdier and everthing, and would be a bit better for more power in my opinion. Although is the older Z is hands down better then it might just be worth it to with the older Z.

While your 2+2 is heavier than a 2 seater 280Z, the ZX's in general were not heavier than the 280Z's. They were actually lighter 
If I were you I'd toss the 2+2 and either get the Z or find a 2 seater ZX (I'd go more so for that second option). But it's your call

Well. no 240's for sale, hell none that i can even find that ppl own rounder here. But 260Z is in picture, Great body, just about all of body part's are there. Just WAY overpriced.

Only the 1979 280ZX with no options was the lighter car. The t-tops, power windows, locks, ect all added a couple hundred pounds but really they are not all that heavy.
anyway, I like both cars but a 2+2 slicktop is not the best looking Z in my opinion. I'd go with a 2-seater 280Z. You can make it look like a 240Z easy.
