Depends is the Z automatic or manual and the year. I know the VG motors that come in those cars are pretty nice and produce about 200hp N/A.

Just go get an SRT-4 lol

EDIT: If its turbo go for it

I'm a Z dork as well and dont see why anybody wants a 300. If you really like it and have the money for the inevatable(sp) repair bills than enjoy.

The 300 is very very expensive to fix. It's a total cluster to work on plus the price of parts is way up there.

It's a great toy but not for a daily driver. If you want a cool daily driver that you can mod, this ain't it.

Get something like a Lexus SC300 for $5K or so with 100K. Lots of potential, lots of easy mods, RWD, luxurious and cheap! Turn it into a Soarer.

300z: depends, year, tranny, na/turbo... need info!

If it is rough, then I wouldnt do it, like stated above, expensive to work on, and not easy!

I would get an srt4

Try and find a clean 240-260 (avoid the 280 you loose all the pretty and get a nice jap 80's interior) and drive it. Cheap to fix everybody makes parts and it will never die (if you keep the rust away) there is one around me that could use about $2000 of work and they want $1900 for it, remember it takes $5000 to have a clean daily driver 2xxz do with it what you will.

Avoid the 300 like the plague!!

Basket cases, ask yourself this, how many do you see on the road, versus how many do you see parked or abandoned?

depends on the 280 you get ... an early 70's model has nearly the same interior as the 260 .... but bigger bumpers ...

i had a 74 datsun 280z that i loved ... only reasion i got rid of it ... was the fuel injection started leaking ... and i couldn't figure out how to stop it .. (was my first fuel injected car, went back to carbs after that) ...

same here in the md/va/dc area, i see everyone driving them, matter of fact i see them as well as all the chargers and magnums too.

In and around ottawa you don't see many, rare, but you will see just as many parked behind a garage or on someones lawn with a for sale sign as will you see on the road.

Just a few blocks away from my place someone has one parked on his lawn with a for sale sign, he wants $3000 , and a few blocks further from there theres a garage that has had one parked behind it for months..... but then again... that garage ALWAYS has a carrera gt parked there too.

me personally wouldnt get a del sol....looks to much like a just got out of high school girls car....

what type of car are you looking to replace the neon for? why do you want to get rid of your neon anyways?

esprocker · Post by **esprocker** » Mon Aug 20, 2007 12:16 am

just wanna get rid of it cause its an atx and dont want to do the manual swap

heyitsstock · Post by **heyitsstock** » Mon Aug 20, 2007 12:26 am

eghhhhh nota delslow.....

if your in that market how about a hhatch?

esprocker · Post by **esprocker** » Mon Aug 20, 2007 12:38 am

its not THAT slow...its pretty much puts my neon to shame

bone-yard-racing · Post by **bone-yard-racing** » Mon Aug 20, 2007 11:29 am

If you arent a midget avoid the del sole (however you spell it). Think of this when you are sitting on the side of the road because your boosted water bottle of an engine just exploded remember you could be getting to where you are going just great if not as thrilled in the neon or you could sit in your 240 as happy as you ever have been. If you get a 240,260,or,(early)280 you are free and clear with emissions.

Cbussilver01es · Post by **Cbussilver01es** » Mon Aug 20, 2007 9:12 pm

A del sol? If you want... I guess. Why not just get a first gen R/T or ACR with some bolt ons and have some fun with that?

esprocker · Post by **esprocker** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 6:56 pm
