We ripped around KC for a good two hours like this. My buddy wasnt familiar with Z cars and got frustrated when he couldnt out run it. I looked over and just laughed at him. \"Dude you aint got enough gear to out run him, them Zs got leggs buddy\". He came away with a new respect for Z cars after that.", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1490972581, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 1461992, "authorName": "David_F", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/david_f/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "I love the drivetrain in this one as I built a similar 3.1 stroker for my Z years ago. A lot of the cosmetic things I don't care for can easily be changed. What concerns me though is the smoothed over door jamb on the driver's side, and the seams on the rockers close to the dog legs have been smoothed over as well. It's hard to say how much bondo there could be under the shiny paint, and how well it was done. \r\n\r\nOn another note, I looked at the pics several times and just noticed the door panels don't match each other. \r\n\r\nSince the cosmetics are subjective, I'm sure whomever wins it will be very happy.
