Datsun 510 owners are a pretty fanatical bunch. It’s no surprise, though. Just look at their object of obsession: a 40-year-old legend that was once the scourge of the 2.5 Trans-Am series yet can still hold its own against some modern sports cars.
A seductive combination of price, performance and availability—plus a solid dose …
Great read, of course I am partial, as I own two full race SCCA 510,s two doors, and I have A street car, two door 510 which needs restoration. Iam in west coast of Florida, and I just do not see them on the street or craigslist.
I dropped a Nissan CA18ET, in one car, to race in the chump or champ car races, they laugh at tech and give me a 500 lap penalty. Or darn close to it, Sebring, Daytona, Miami Homestead, where a hoot. Enjoy GR. Mag. good job folks.
Cheers

Thanks for the kind words. Those sound like some awesome Datsuns. And we had a similar penalty lap situation with our turbocharged Miata.
kind of disappointed.
