1970 Datsun 240Z

   
   "1970 Datsun 240Z"
   
   I, as should we all, revere the eight-cylinder.  Strapping a 454 cubic inch motor on a wagon will outshine most things on the blacktop; however, there are agile and fiery six-cylinders, as well as fast and furious four-cylinders.  So, here goes:

1970 Datsun 240Z

4-Speed with an Inline (straight) six.  

Horsepower:  151.

Torque:  145 lb-ft.

0-6:  Mid 7's.

Quarter Mile:  16 seconds.

   Constructed to compete with cars such as the Triumph TR6, and regardless of its age--put a cowl induction on that antiquated Datsun; next, extra air flow into the carburetor; plus, some supertrapps sticking out the back to increase outtake--you got some wiry muscle.
