anyone that sets their Z up like this should be shot and then shoehorned into a camaro to accompany the requisite mullet they have.

Default am I high? nope, jus thinking out loud...

I was looking at the Toyota Concept RSC and thought how cool it would be to have an offroad rally Z!

I think going rally is no more stupid than lowering your Z or installing a friggin park bench fin on the hatch lid. There's so many of those guys it would take all day to point and laugh at what they've done to their Z.

To each their own, but if I wanted to baja, I'd buy a Subaru.

That was just a gt-40 kit car, not a real gt-40. Otherwise, yeah they'd be stoopid.

tho itd be interesting to see, typicly a baja car as I understand them are very little of the origonal car. all chopped up, and whatnot, like saying a monster truck is a F150, or a nascar is a toarus.

the Z is a 30,000$ car, way too expensive to hack up, hence why old beetles are popular for the task, cheap to buy and no sorrow for screwing them up.

oh ok...that makes more sense. i thought it was a real one....cause if you looked at that garage that the family had....well, there was a hydraulic lift in there...they had every tool ever known to man....well, they had everything!! i figured they chopped up a real gt-40....which, yes, would be stooooopid!!! haha

That's along the lines of what I was thinking of except I'm thinking more jacked up with big fender flairs bumper guards and stuff. Good to see someone has some ***** to play with their Z offroad.

Let me know if anyone sees a Dunebuggy type Z.
