Default 300ZX vs. Aries (240SS) *VIDEO*

The 300ZX was on 20psi on race gas. Aries was supposedly on a 200shot.

Enjoy!

Round 1

Is this the Aries with the 396 LT-1, TH400 and nitrous in an import car? I can't tell which car is which from the videos...who won. What do these cars run at the track? Neither one "looked" all that fast, I was guessing like mid 12's or slower....BUT if this was the 396 on a 200 shot, it is obviously faster than that!

no, that is his car before his massive motor work and what not. Aries did not win, but im sure if the two rematched now, it would be a different story.

aries is the guy in the first vid he is in the far lane, and then on the second video he is also in the far lane.

If my assumptions are wrong, then that would mean he won both races. cause it seems to me aries car lost both. But wait till you guys hear his car now, the bitch is BAD!

Josh (300ZX) admitted to being on race gas and 20psi boost.

yes Aries lost on both races but he claims he lost the second one from hitting the rev limiter. Aries when exactly are those heads and that 396 block going on?

probably end of this month, start of next.
We're re-designing the mounts and positioning of the motor in the car so that I can drive it without worrying about scraping the oil pan. Right now, the oil pan is 3 inches from the street, and we're trying to raise it up enough to be above the K-member so that it will be protected.

We don't have enough Z cars in my area I love those things. Nice vids and good runs. Now when Aries gets his new setup I want to see the rematch.

Aries looked like he jumped on the gas only after the Z stepped on it.

damn man, you are matching that shot with a hell of a fuel system. Are you pulling 93 octane for that as well, or almost like a seperate fuel setup of race gas, or do you mix some race fuel in your main tank??

it's usually all 93.
when I know I'm going racing I'll add about a gallon of 110.
