Gustavo Anaya Mrs. Kowalsky Period. 1 Senior Business Academy October 10, 2014 What makes the Nissan Z series so famous? Repairing cars may seem easy to a person’s eye but it’s not. One bolt can mess up the entire car and not work anymore. That’s when a mechanic comes and does his job. Repairing and restoring is hard to do and takes time. Old cars (1970s) are even harder to fix because it’s rare to find the parts. An example is the well-known 1970 Datsun 240z that change the world. It is hard and expensive to fix this car because it’s old. I’m going to prove that the Z series (Nissan) is the best-selling sport car of all time and has impacted all car production since the early 1970s. What makes the Nissan Z series so famous? There are …show more content…
As like the other two Z cars they displaced the engine because they changed the name. the 280z had a 2.8 L engine and it was a five speed manual transmission. As the other Z cars they were couple changes and the price of $8,000. This car was exclusive only in the United States. Nissan sold over 70,000 280z’s in 1977. Nissan finally replaced the SU carburetors and all 280z’s had field injection. So they did a huge improvement because the 240z had 150 hp and the 280z had 170 hp. It featured a five-speed overdrive transmission. In 1978 Nissan launched a limited edition 280z and it had everything a normal 280z had beside the color called “Black Pearl”. In 1979 Nissan announced the last 280z except it was called 280zx and was more refined and luxurious than the standard …show more content…
Some examples of these cars are Jaguar XKE, Ferrari Daytona, Porsche 911 RS 2.7, and Dino. For the upper class people is wasn’t a problem to buy these cars but what about the middle class. Were the middle class able to buy these cars? They couldn’t because these cars cost a fortune like the new Lamborghinis and the Ferraris. So middle class people would dream to get one of these cars but never in their life would they get one. But that’s when Nissan comes to the rescue and make the Datsun 240z. This car was very familiar to the Ferrari Daytona and the Jaguar XKE. So when middle class people heard about this car they started to buy it because of the best affordable sport cars of all time. This car was compared to the high top end sport cars and it still is. The people that would buy the Nissan Z cars series were smart because they basically bought a car that compared to Ferraris and other import
design made the car very strong and durable that is one main reason you see many
When the word Mustang comes to play, most people think of a very well known car, not only for its stylish aspects, but for a variety of reasons: cost, features, speed (probably best know fact), and all around good appeal. The Ford Mustang was designed to be a people car. In 1960 Ford engineers sought out to build a car that the average motor head would be able to afford but yet still have the edgy feel about it. Back at the time of its release, in the early 1960's, the Mustang did hold the advantage over General Motors. General Motors had no car out at the time of the Mustang's release to compete with it. As the years progressed, Ford and Chevrolet managed to out do one another with there monster creations of each car. One such creation by Ford is their 590 HP "Super Stallion." The car features a 590 HP engine which burns alcohol instead of regular pump gas. Jack Keebler noted from Motor Trend Magazine, "The way to a fast time is to launch this pony at no more than 1,600 RPM, gently feeding in the throttle as the big 265/40/ZR18 Goodyear's churn at the edge of traction. Full throttle is impossible until you're well into third gear, but its still one helluva hand full to drive" (40 - 45). That is the newest creation from the M...
...est levels of sports car performance. As the first decade of the 21st century progressed, Chevrolet joined every other automaker in squeezing race track horsepower out of street-legal engines. The ZR1 Corvettes made during this generation were capable of speeds over 200 MPH, and cost over $100,000, so they were a bit of a change from the “cheap” car Corvettes were previously known for being. C7: The Return of the Stingray. Modern Corvettes are now achieving Ferrari racing status and power.Corvettes Are the Longest Running production Car Brand Ever. They are about $65,000 and usually look pretty nice. A really nice touch is that for an extra $800 you can drive your Corvette out of the Corvette museum with the staff clapping while you drive out.
The Z/28 and the R/S are simply two models of a Chevrolet sport-car based on options. The Camaro has become a legend dominating the market for more than three decades. Each model adds excitement and fun to driving along with a durable and comfortable ride. Whether the buyer is looking for the power or the style of the Camaro, they will be sure to turn heads.
The Camaro was to be offered with a wide variety of powerplants, ranging from a 230 cubic inch six cylinder to a 327 V8.
The similar, but less showy 1960 model of the El Camino was priced at $2366 for the six-cylinder model; another $107 got consumers a V8 with the two-barrel 283. The V8 two barrel carb is an 8 cylinder 2 port carburetor for higher performance. The 1960 El Camino had a Bel-Air look, with a bright-metal "jet" looks, and narrow trailing molding used to blend with the rear quarters. The rear quarters are the metal above the rear tires. The orders plummeted by a third, to just 14,163, at which point Chevrolet discontinued the model; meanwhile, Ford moved 21,027 Rancheros which were based on the new Falcon compact.... ...

Model T’s were everywhere in America, even long after Ford stopped production in 1927. (Henry) While Ford was the number one brand, selling the most cars throughout the early 1900’s, the Model T created a new industry that is distinctly American; the auto industry. Three manufacturers, Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler dominated the American auto industry, and all three companies still produce cars today. The Model T gave birth to the competitive auto market. To this day, car companies in America are constantly racing to innovate, improve, and outsell their competitors. Manufacturing of cars “became the backbone of a new consumer goods-oriented society. By the mid-1920s it ranked first in value of product, and in 1982 it provided one out of every six jobs in the United States.” (history –idk yet) The demand for cars also resulted in a booming petroleum industry, and a high demand for metals, like steel. ( History idk yet) Furthermore, with so many people driving cars, construction of roads was necessary. The popularity of automobiles set off a chain reaction that created new opportunities all across the country. All sections of the modern automotive industry, from marketing to manufacturing, as well industries like petroleum refining, steel production, and road construction, can trace their beginnings to the Ford Model
