Well ,
I have to chime in here. I can't say stock vs stock which is faster, I guess
I'd have to go with the experts, but with an even slightly modified TR6 I
can't imagine a six looking at a z's tail lights. I've got a pretty decently
set up six and I've left a few 240Z owners with their mouths hanging open.
