Insane 240z Video (How not to drive on the road)

[Mr Camouflage]

I was reading the post about a computer game (http://www.240z.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=13783#post13783) which referred to a site in denmark? (.de) www.nissan-szene.com, anyway I used google to translate the site and found a downloads page with lots of video. The last one on the list was datsun-power.zip (about 1.5 meg) so I took a look at it.

It's a video of a Black 240z driving insanely! You gotta watch this.

That's a guy named Darius in his 240 with a supercharged LS1 in the bonnet. There's more to that video showing the engine and him racing a street bike and winning!

I wish I had his tire (tyre) budget!

Do you know how much power that z has?

[FinalAngel]

I think his web page said 500 rwhp and 580 rwtq. Maybe a little off but I think those #'s are close.

Sorry everyone, I would place the driver of the car an idiot beacause the video was shot on a public street with other vehicles. If a dum SOB hit me or my family while he was doing something so stupid and to be stupid enough to video tape it:stupid: . I would end up owning his car, home etc when I was done.

I agree it is a cool car and I would sure like to drive / own / build it but I would not screw around when others could be effected.

I think we all agree that racing and driving crazy on the street is an incredibly stupid and dangerous thing to do. We have had at least one other thread where this point was made quite clear -- dead horse comes to mind.

This being a Z site, and the Z being versatile and perfect for upgrades and performance enhancement, many of the threads are started to showcase what can and has been done to them. Many members have had Z's for years, many are new to the Z and many are new to vehicles in general. Everyone has something to teach and we all have something to learn.

I'm sure nobody on this site condones that type of dangerous behavior -- please, let's keep this site open to interesting, thought provoking, awe inspiring and even laughable interaction between all our new friends that we have made around the world.

Just tried the video dowloads and they all appear to be down.

Yeah, Darius is better known for his motorcycle stunts.. he's somehow escaped death more than his fair share, he's like... invincible or something!

Speeding is one thing - reckless driving is something else again.
