Can you say......horsepower??

[ozlime240z]

No but I can spell.... Butchered

(each to their own I guess)

[thefastestz]

yeah bucthered is probably what a stock z car will be after a run in with that Z at a stop light.

Darius you're thinking of?

Butchered or not, you have to appreciate it !!! It's an absolutely SCHMICK Z too :love:

That would be the Super-Charged LT1 240Z of "Darius."

Quite a nice car.

I think that's the new motor, I heard he blew the other one. That car is one bad a$$ hombre. I know the purist's here won't care for it much, but the next best things to Z's, are just things that go FAST. Speaking of things that go fast, I'm going to Gran Prix of Sonoma this weekend. Luxury Suites.

Well, I'm basically a purist, but Darius' Z is really a well engineered car. I certainly do not think that "butchered" is the appropriate term for this vehicle. If any of you have seen the video of it roasting the tires in 3rd and 4th gear while going up hill, you have some idea of the performance this car is capable of putting down. It is really an amazing performer.

That being the case Carl, I can't help wondering whether he has shares in the tyre company or perhaps the family owns a rubber plantation and he does his bit towards keeping the company in business.

I understand what you are saying, Rick

Darius seems (I don't know him personally) to be a major thrill seeker as can be seen if one follows the links to his website and browses around the video files. Given the cost to build his supercharged LT1 powered Z car, I suspect tire expenses are of realtively little concern to him.

thats a killer video he's made!!!that black 240z
