400$ shit i would check if it still has manifolds  to bad you don't live around her they are selling a 77' pontiac transam for 400 but needs new manifolds. I gurantee this car would smoke his on a dragstrip except for the fact that its a automatic.

find a shitty Z car  i can help you out with the tech stuff on it. (no charge of course 8) ) with the power to weight ratio of the 240Z (2300lbs, 150HP, 149LB-FT) you won't have much of a problem gaining the upper hand just with a few hours of engine tuning. then you can start adding go-go parts 8)

Which Manifolds does the car need? and for a Dragstrip the Automatic in the equaly tuned car will be better because it is more consistent. (unless it is beat to shit)
