Careful he might show off the '65 Shelby he delivered papers with

So you claim your stock 260 had 165hp, your 280 had 170hp. I am assuming you had the dyno sheets to prove these numbers? Did you have special cars with forged internals that nobody else had? Nissan seems to think their cars made different HP numbers.

"The 260Z launched for the 1974 model year to replace the 240Z, and as its name suggests, displacement from the straight-six was stroked to 2.6 liters. U.S. emissions regulations initially forced the automaker to detune the larger engine's output to 140 hp, but by mid-1974 the full 165 hp that the 260Z made in the rest of the world was available to American buyers"

"the U.S. had just a single year of production before moving on to the 280Z, which bumped engine displacement to 2.8 liters (and output to 170 hp) to help guard against ever-tightening emissions standards."

Yeah, I guess Nismo didn't know what they were doing when they built their cars.
They should have consulted you for corrections. You could have prevented them from making you look stupid on the internet!

By the way Rob, NISMO stands for Nissan Motorsports International... not Nissan Motors so they have nothing to do with the stock numbers.

HAHAHAHAHAHA
So Motor Trend fabricated their article, and random people fabricated engine tags, just to make you look stupid on the internet?
And they are all doing it with such consistency to each other!

Yep. Everyone is lying on the internet, just to make you look stupid.

Too damn funny. But truly pathetic if you believe it.
