Faster240z Posted November 7, 2003 Share #1 Posted November 7, 2003 I am just wondering what anyone might know about who has the fastest 240Z in the 1/4? I have seen some fast ones, but I am looking for who might know who has gone the quickest. Any info would be nice, thanks.Mark Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/8759-who-has-the-fastest-240z/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
1975yellowBSPZ Posted November 7, 2003 Share #2 Posted November 7, 2003 I'd be interested to see top speed posted also.I did 125+mph with 5 psi compression on cyl 6 and 35 on cyl 3 w/ 4:11 gears and a 4 speed so I figure some of you 5 speed non-broken engine guys have really pushed it...

Inf Posted November 7, 2003 Share #3 Posted November 7, 2003 as for 1/4 mile, probably one of these Zs with a V8 and a bunch of other american driveline components swapped in and modified, but at that point I wouldn't really call it a 240Z anymore. I suppose the answer would depend on what you would consider to still be a 240Z.

thefastestz Posted November 7, 2003 Share #4 Posted November 7, 2003 To me anything with a 240z chassis is a 240z. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/8759-who-has-the-fastest-240z/#findComment-56209 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwz Posted November 7, 2003 Share #5 Posted November 7, 2003 as for 1/4 mile, probably one of these Zs with a V8 and a bunch of other american driveline components swapped in and modified, but at that point I wouldn't really call it a 240Z anymore. That's the first thing that came to mind when I read the original post. And the first 240Z that came to mind is the one at www.ratsun.com... but it's just like what Inf said...502 Chevy, etc...I imagine there's probably faster ones, though.

59ghia Posted November 7, 2003 Share #6 Posted November 7, 2003 Never considered the z a quartermiler, always thought of it as a mountain road blaster, set it up for power between 3k-7k rpm, set up the suspension and go. my 2c Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/8759-who-has-the-fastest-240z/#findComment-56218 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmack Posted November 7, 2003 Share #7 Posted November 7, 2003 At last years National Convention in the Drag Race competition, there was a 280Z that had a Z32 twin turbo w/ nitrous that ran a 10.4 sec 1/4 @ 136 mph. Not a 240 but still pretty good for an early-body Z! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/8759-who-has-the-fastest-240z/#findComment-56223 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiburon Posted November 7, 2003 Share #8 Posted November 7, 2003 Jim Sykes from Prunedale, CA has a 71 240z, he has a supercharged 347 stroker in his car along with a G force T5 and a solid rear end (ford 9 inch)he dynoed at 755hp, his engine block weighs a mere 92 lbs!!!! (alum SVO block) Canfield ported cyl heads, EFI GT40 intake (extrude honed), MSD IGN system, Roller everything and an alum driveshaft.He managed a 9.8 1/4 mile at 137mph and ran street legal slicks.THe hood, front fenders, doors and even dash are fiberglass, the hood and front fenders are all on the same bracket and open forward like a corvette...pretty neat car. It looks stock too....until he pops the hood or until you see the roll cage.I dread to think what his top end would be like.I guess I should mention a trip to the Bonneville salt flats eh?

That Ozzy Guy Posted November 8, 2003 Share #11 Posted November 8, 2003 Hey Gav, can you please pm me if you have the rest of that article.I've seen a few all out drag cars in the one digits from Japan. One of them was with an original (if you can call it that) N/A straight six donk. I'll see if I can find the dvd.

Faster240z Posted November 8, 2003 Author Share #12 Posted November 8, 2003 Thanks for all of the replys. I see there is some difference in opinion of which Z's would qualify for the fastest title. My 240z is a SBC convertion and no longer has the stock style rearend, but I still consider car a Z. I am striving to have the title of fastest street legal Z car and I feel I am well on the way.Mark Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/8759-who-has-the-fastest-240z/#findComment-56297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
