true, but suggesting is just as bad as thinking or doing it. Towing something like that with a z puts your life and the life of others in danger. All it take is for the mounts to sheer and then thered be a 3000lb weight rolling wherever it wanted.
sometimes ya gotta set the oldtimers straight.

i think he was curious more than anything.. he was just asking a question. the only one that actaully thought about doing it was that one guy who suggested he should try!
anyways, back on topic and the conclusion - do not try.

the chasis just isn't designed for it. towing is probaly one of the last things nissan decided this car should do. maybe you can think about buying/renting/borrowing a truck, even if the motor can do it, the frame of the car will probaly just bend, aluminum is meant for weight, not for towing

lol, was asking a simple yes or no question and got some cracker going off on his own. Grow up man, this is a forum, it's a place for questions and answers, if you don't have the manners to answer a question without a smartass remark, then you shouldn't be reading the entire thread.

It's not a bad question at all. I certainly learned how much a Z can tow, which I didn't know until I visited this thread. It CAN tow, but probably only a couple of motorcycles or jet skis.
I wouldn't be surprised that if some modifications to the chassis, suspension, and brakes (if non-brembo) were done, it could tow an S2000. At that point, it becomes less expensive and more practical to buy a used truck.

wow, you are retarded. A simple search of the forum and youd find all the info regarding towing. If you dont like to search, read the owners manual. If you dont like to read, try using common sense.
The z is not designed to tow 3k lbs of stuff. You can weld a hitch on there that could tow a million tons, but the z isnt setup for it. You have to figure in brake fade (stopping 6klbs is alot harder than 3k) and your clutch/transmission.
Seems like youve got money, but no brains.
According to the owners manual, it can tow a 1000lb load with 10% tongue load.
