Motorcycle trailer for Z?
Anybody have done it before? If so, what hitch did you use? You think Z can haul three bikes that weights 300 to 800 pounds per bike? Will be it be bad if I lower the car 1inch? Any pictures of set up?

One bike , no problem. E-hitch i believe sells a hitch. Look for more info in the autocross/roadrace section of this site.

So, you want to tow 2400lbs...
You'll need a trailer with it's own brakes. Look up the different classes of trailers. The only one I know is Class 1, which tops out at 1000lbs (gross). You probably could modify your Z to tow that weight, but be prepared to weld a lot of metal onto the rear end.
The towing solutions in the autocross/roadrace section are for towing a small (4x4') trailer holding maximum of tool boxes and 4 wheels/tires. That's maybe 300lbs max. 2400lbs is a whole different game.

my 15 year old Nissan Pickup tows 3 bikes no problem. And it cost me $2000. Towing bikes to track is the exact reason I didn't trade it in or sell it when i bought the Z last month.
800lbs each? Are you towing Goldwings?

the only thing i could possibly understand is towing tires to a roadrace because of no other choice. But towing motorcycles behind a sports car wow just wow. hell my boat that i pulled with my 1/4 ton last year weights 2600 pounds your looking at 2400? lmao. it squated my truck a little with tongue weight id love to see pics of this.
