Hey. So a couple of years ago I found a great video of a 270z (or 280, not sure), just driving around for at least 7 minutes, maybe more.
It was set I'm guessing in California, the landscape seemed like it. Lots of bushes and shrubbery and sand and dirt next to the road.
The guy was going pretty fast, and I remember him being stuck behind a truck for a brief moment... It looked something like this:

I'm not sure exactly where the camera was mounted, I think it was the same spot. Possibly on the windshield.
Oh, and the car might have been red. Or not. I'm not sure.
So, if you happen to have this vaguely described video in your favorites somewhere, please do share, I'd appreciate it. Thank you!

Here's some music for your trouble!

Datsun 280. No 270 was made. I wish I could help.

Pretty sure I posted this video to Oppo a few days ago. And if it's not the same video, it's worth a watch - one of my all time favorites.

Yea, I was going to say, what's a 270Z? They did have 240's and 260's.

Heheh. 270Z. No such car exists, here are the Z-car names:

1969-1973: 240z - 2.4l I6
1974-1974: 260z - 2.6l I6
1975-1977: 280z - 2.8l I6
1978-1983: 280ZX - 2.8l I6
1984-2000: 300zx - 3.0l V6
2003-2009: 350z - 3.5l V6
2009-2014: 370z - 3.7l V6

Don't know what video it was, but have some more:

Well, the number is just related to engine size. So I guess a stroked 240 or 260 could end up at 270 (even though the 260 is already basically a stroked 240... )

No way, that's it!
