There's a 1985 Turbo 300Z for sale ($1500) near here. Anyone have any ownership impressions of older Z cars, turbo warnings (never had a turbo'd car before), performance feeling, any of that?

All I know about turboed cars is that you need to let them idle down before shutting the car off so the oil can be pumped into the turbo and save the bearings. At least that how it used to be. I always tell anyone who asks to stear clear of turboed cars because you never know how they were treated.

That was especially true of the older turbos. Heat generation was another factor. I'd stay away from that car.
