280zx VS. LS1 Z

03-20-2004, 06:29 PM

Veterans is awesome!

Me and my buddy get on veterans at the van dyke exit. Low and behold a nice lookin Z28 with exhaust+ is right in front of us. After paying the toll my buddy motions to me to catch the guy and see if he'll play. After a short burst of acceleration, I was there. Side by side with him. I give him a modest grin, and nod at him. He nods back and I give him a little bit of my BE OH VEE

. He takes the bait, and the hit. I immediatly hit back full throttle and slowly catch up and pass by about a fender. He said to me "that car's pretty stout!". I explained to him over the low rawrs of the exhaust... "That was low boost."

We exchanged waves and ran a 2nd time, but my fuel was being funny and we were almost dead even. The third hit however, I raised to high boost, 18psi, and my fuel. I ganked ahead of him by about a car before I shut down... I didnt add enough fuel and was running lean. I followed him off the exit and asked him what he had done, he said something about gears, and exhaust, but our cars were loud and I couldn't hear him. I asked if it was an LT1, he said no. LS1.

My kill for the week.

It was a black LS1, with a Navy plate cover, and front passenger side damage. He looked early 30's.

hooray for you... i bet it was that new fuse.

You would have been destroyed by an actual LS1 Z. Z as in not Chevy.

Duh... but what was the point to your post? It was a Camaro.

I dont have to worry about said Z since there aren't many around here.

corey r. · 03-23-2004, 10:01 AM

how is a Z not a chevy? werent the Z28's out long before the nissan?

03-23-2004, 11:24 AM

I've always looked at it like this...

280Z
Z28
280ZX

The Camaros have never been known as "The Z Car". Therefore, a Z is a Nissan.

WRONG

Z28 is an RPO code not a trim level. The RPO Z28 designates the Camaro platform as having the high performance engine/transmission/suspension options installed. While you are correct that the Z28 was never referred to as the "Z Car" it has been referred to as a "Z" since its debute in 1968.
