Remember the Datsun 240Z that recently broke the F/GT Class record at the Bonneville Salt Flats? Here’s a video on Rebello Racing of what that looks like from the cockpit. Or is that footage from a Space Shuttle launch? No, it’s the Z. [image: ClassicZCars]

Certified by the FIA?

That other gear you mentioned is on it's way via Bob Sharp's dog ring 5-spd that was in the #33 240 race car. The new 4th and 5th gears will allow Burton to keep pulling in both gears.

Bob has agreed to sign the case before it gets installed this winter.
