The '83 280ZX is actually not that light of a car. Not anywhere near as light as the preceding Z models; they tried to make it more of a luxury car by the '80s and added a ton of weight. I think my '79 Z was about 3000lb. My buddy has an '83 turbo and I think he said it has 180hp. I drove it before and it was pretty slow. I'd guess high 15s.
The Grand National was the fastest American production car of '87. I think they had almost 400lb-ft of torque, so if you saw one run that slow in the 1/4 it was either hurting or a Regal non T-type.
