It's easier to make a 240, 260 or 280z faster than a first generation 300zx. Fastest stock RWD Nissan you can get in the states remains the 1990+ 300zx twin turbo.
Next time you are down here I'll show you how slow my Z31 is

In stock, light tune I totally agree. But, you can make one pretty fast for less than a TT. The major problems are lack of aftermarket support and the fact it is VERY hard to find a decent example of to buy because they are getting old.
