Zig, do recall if your 280Z felt heavy? First, I'm surprised 240s weight as much as they do. The ones I had 30+ years ago (back when you could get a car that needs work for $500, yes hundred dollars), you could lean on a fender and push in the sheet metal easily. Crazy tossable my cars always were and so easy to drift or just push the back end out around a corner, let off the gas, correct your steering and then punch it to finish the turn. They all felt lighter than they really are. I asked on a FB Z forum if the 280 was much heavier than a 240 and many said you could get them down to 240 weight by backdating the bumpers and then of course backdate the tail lights.
What's your sense on the 280 in terms of weight if you recall?
