Ja you either love em or hate em. I LOVE Alfa's, just wish they would get back to their racing heratage and make some fast cars again.

Although the new GT does PWN the 330i BM :lol: .

Alfa's are amazing... one have to say... it really is, where else have you seen a car where the engine sports wooden block? Now really!

For 20 grand I would get a L28 Skyline.... and later replace the L28 with a RB25det.

Just went throught the Junk Mail, lots of 2.8 Skylines there... http://www.junkmail.co.za

If you can get a 2.0 SGLi model for a bargain, it uses the same drivetrain as the 3.0 SGLi, just add turbo, nos or RD25/6det/tt

Question: Does a 280zx have coils or leaf springs at the back?

the only decent Z's are the 240z and the 260z.

i would rather have an old skyline than a 280zx. i reckon they're horrible!

Never mind, I see there are 2 variants, and the one for R23k is definately not a turbo... :(
