I read the guy's full thread on that build of his 240..... pretty impressive. If you're upset about that, I'm sorry. I personally can't wait to see that 240 tear it up, regardless of who wins. That's one hell of a project car...

LMBmikeZ · 03-07-2013, 04:38 AM

that's a pretty sick 240 but like the original issue has always been, they advertised it as a 370Z contest

can't blame them (Nissan Perf./Motor Trend) though really. At first I did, but then thinking about it, I feel that the blame should go to the stupid people that can't read the rules and decided to enter their non-370Z's in the contest.

The 270 has 200 less HP it's going to lose the 0-60-0, any straight line comp, any high speed comp, but may tear it up on the smaller road course... This is a puff piece competition... Rigged like me and many others have said.

Personally I hope they get their A$$ES handed to them by the 270z!!! It was the only innovative car of the three they picked!

I wouldnt be surprised if the 0-60-0 is closer than you think, merely due to the HP/Weight ratio of the Datsun.

I think a smaller road course will WRECK the 370. But yes, it's all for show, and I think it's rigged. I wonder what kind of fallout would happen if the 370 LOSES the competition in this form? "Well ****, why bother getting a new Z when an older one is faster?"

Apoc370z · 03-07-2013, 06:02 PM

They could easily rig the race if they did chose a 370z anyways

its not a 370z and thats all that matters!

The competition is not rigged, the owner of the 1970 240Z is a friend. He bought the car 3 years ago from a fellow in Arizona, where it sat for years dry rotting. He had it brought home and has put in a ton of time and money into the build. He wasn't going to enter the competition thinking he wouldn't be considered. After some persuasion he changed is mind and its pretty cool just to say i know the guy who won. He's enjoying the strip right now!!!!
