Nice, I love to watch some of these cars or trucks actually leave the line. That
much power with rear wheel drive and small tires sounds like a whole lot of fun!

...430hp, 2150lb, 50F/50R CLASSIC Z?!?!?!?!??!?!?!? Aside from the color, which I like but am not too crazy about, this is the ultimate "do want" car for me in this thread.

Another build thread for the same car http://importsnc.com/forums/national...tsun-240z.html

Appreciate the compliment! I will take some new shots and post more.

When this engine goes, I will either move to and LS2 or STi engine.

Nothing more fun to drive than mid-engine, low weight and high power.

Thumbs up

One of my favorite cars of all time, with (likely) the best engine you could put in it, cleanly done.
