Nice cars. Have always been a fan of the turbo 300zx's. Couldn't tell you why, I just have.

Was the Nissan brake boosting at all?

i'm not sure if brake boosting, i dont think so. the turbos are small enough and it'll probably spin, M3 has the torque mod advantage

From my experience , brake boosting is always better. Its either gonna lag hit powerband and spin or just spin.

Very nice BMW. Good to see another 300ZX TT that hasn't been run into the ground.

Yes, nothing declares a desire for homosexual encounters like a couple of ricer flybys. Good eye.

I just think it's stupid to run without the hood. Drag? What's that mean?

^^ not as drastic as you think... Cars with EXTRACTOR hoods can actually pick up MPH(air channeled into normal feed location, give it a quick exit out) ....so..the DRAG or impact points would just likely be the firewall/shock tower area but, the air going through the radiator/bottom spoiler, will have an easy exit...soo....it could be a NULL tradeoff.


In theory.

I know they are a mother to work on,brakes suck and not reliable but 300ZX TTs are great to me.

I think they were one of the first production cars designed with the help of CAD. Always thought they were pretty cool despite all their flaws. Nice to see them in action, good runs.

I had a 93 300zx NA slick top back in 07. Slow as *****, but hands down the most comfortable and best handling of all the sports cars that I have owned. Rat ******* bastard to work on. Wish that I still had it.
