Default 280z vs C5z

I wasn't too confident, but just a little bit hopeful before the run. Ohhh hahaha found out I don't have enough.

Rolling out and race (Skip to ~2:00 for just race)

Looks to me like he just got the jump. A more fair start and it might look different.

What have you done to the 280's rear suspension?


I had a 240 years ago and with a bolt on 2.8 swap, it would spin the tires pretty easy.

I didn't gun it until I hit the 3rd honk like I told him, but no race is perfect. Maybe he thought I would jump like some other opponents or couldn't hear the honks too well.

Yeah this car is so f'n fast. He's taken out that turbo Fox from Austin on their rematch. Did you see that vid? He's done a 10.2 @ 149 granny shifting vs my car's 10.4 @ 140 best

It's got 1" lowered and stiffer springs, and Tokico 5-way adjustable struts on the highest setting. 26x9.5 Hoosier QTPs. This was also in below 44* weather too

Great run fanta! Im a straight up racer very hard to hear each horn honk with both cars rolling high in the Rpms..I tried timing when the 3rd honk would sound to hit it..a lot of guys leave on the 2nd honk so its hard to have a dead even start each time..look from my angle and I can see his front end raise pretty much when I hit it..

vette made 850whp in the summer 95*..the temp was in the high 30's that night, pretty hard to hook ,have to feather it for a bit..

Slower roll soon to come..z runs strong! And btw care to share the amount of nitrous being sprayed in that 416LS3 Mr. Fanta? And dont lie bc Ive got a pretty good idea lol

"Scrappy" getting it done bro!.... I don't know how the hell you are getting any kind of traction right now with this cold *** air. I can't get WOT til 4th on 305 Nitto 555Rs... BTW I was in San Antonio on Friday picking up a hood for my car, I was gonna swing by Lethal's shop to BS... I figured JM was probably working his other job tho....

That 240 is a bad *** little car too.... I love those things..

Any vids of him and Fox. I know the fox and its sick. I have seen it go low 9's at almost 160 at TAD sideways the whole track.


Nice death. So you was spraying?

Thanks man. It's funny you mention two of the first things I wanted to get rid of though lol. The bumpers are original and the biggest ones found on any z-car, weighing probably over 75+ lbs together. And the 280Z in stripes is redundant because it's got the 280Z emblems right in front. But you gave me a new perspective. The stripes appear clearly on the video and the emblems don't.
