73 240Z on Passtime

[=Enigma=]

Hahaha, I just saw a 73 240Z on Passtime. It had a Chevy 355, Turbo 400, mild cam, slicks and a 210 shot of nitrous. All that and it only pulled a 12.35 1/4 mile with a good hook.

Not very impressive - a fellow Z er up here has a 280 with a similar set up: 350 with nos (not sure of the shot) - he runs low 12s straight and 10s with NOS.

That guy got something wrong.

Agreed, but I have to interject.. isnt that the worst show ever on speed. As if NASCAR was not bad enough, and unique whips, now passtime? Man, how the mighty have fallen.

you really don't like it? I think that show is pretty good. It is fun to watch because you get to see all different cars. I sure as hell think it is a lot better than pinks. That show is so stupid. I can't stand the host, he thinks he is the almighty man of drag racing. I only like to watch Pinks All Out.

What I really miss about Speed is rally racing.

sorry didn't mean to hijack this thread...

Agreed on pinks all out. Pinks just annoys me as well. The best liar wins that one.

I miss rally so very badly.

I cant stand the host on passtime. He just gets under my skin for some reason.

I love watching Pass Times. Especially when they have real street driven cars. I don't like it when they have a bunch of dragsters though. I like Pinks and Pinks all out. Pinks had gotten a little old though. Pinks all out is also a cool show because its real people and their cars.

Now Unique Whips has got to go!! Will annoys me so much. All they do is install stereos and wheels.

Now Street Customs is awesome. But thats on TLC. They aren't afraid to chop stuff up and make killer customs.

Houston Texas, SRBIGBUTT, we should get together and have lunch or something.. where in Houston are you?

[srbigbutt]

I'm in Spring. It would be nice to see your Z as well.

Zedyone, Srbigbutt, I've PM'd you both.

Well, other than the Turbo 400 transmission out weighing the rest of the car I can't imagine why it would have been so slow...

The owner said his rear diff ration was a 3.55/1. Could this account for the slow time? Or perhaps the nitro never came in...even though you can clearly see the guy opening up the bottle. Or perhaps he was nervous and closed it by accident... ROFLROFLROFLROFL

The guesses ranged from 9.15 to 11.31 so the 12.35 surprised everyone.

BTW, I believe the host started out doing voice overs for Monster Garage other shows like Extreme 4x4. I could be wrong on which shows he did but I know that voice and saw him in one of the shows at some point. This is obviously his first time in front of the camera.

Srbigbutt, Twsut, and Zedyone... I am in Spring as well (Glennloch Farms). Everynow and then I take my '70 240 up to the Saturday night car show at Spring Cypress and Champion Forest. Over the last year or so I've seen four other Zs at the show. We should make plans to show up one night as a group.
