Scottie-GNZ Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Hmmm, good looker but it has a reserve of $15K. Curious though. "it has 750hp", "runs the 1/4-mile in 10 @ 170", "has a TH350", no indication of what rear-end is in it but mentions billet alt bracket. Performance numbers do not add up, but someone will get more than they handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Yeah, but can it handle gravel roads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1fastz Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 can you say BULLSHIT on the performance numbers 170 is enough mph to run 8.40s .. even 3rd gen supras wich SUCK for drag racieng break into the nines when they start to trap over 150.. also i have dynoed at 730 rwhp and I only run 9.72 at 143 .. so someone is blowing smoke.. also hes runign keith black pistons .. ALA HYPERUTECTIC meaning hes under 10 psi boost .. that motor probly makes no more then 600 horses at the flywheel.. and if the car was setup rigth would run mid tens.

Guest Tht1KSguy Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Not to mention w/ the 350trans even if he had 3.36 gears he'd be pulling 7500rpm through the lights to reach 170mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kc6wfs Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Those times were probably on the last motor that was in there, must have blown up half track and coasted the rest of the way. damm hate it then 30k nitro motors go boom. Clean car though!! Just a thought... Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Those times and speed were self employed with a special Rollex watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 I pondered about it and think he meant to say it ran 10's and had a hi speed of 170.....err or thats when he crapped his pants, regardless we gotta give him props on that nice Z!!! By the way, how many of you guys emailed him hatemail...ahahahahaaa...notice the option "Cd Player" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 A CD player in a car that goes 170 in the 1/4 mile. That is the key to success. Great looking car and I am jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 also hes runign keith black pistons .. ALA HYPERUTECTIC meaning hes under 10 psi boost .. Ummmmh. I must be doing something "wrong" . I have been running Federal Mogul hypers and 24# boost for the past 18 mos and working my way up to 26#. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromio Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 But, you do have a large IC and a more efficient centrifigal "blower" vs the roots type that this car has. ( you like how I said that as if I had any idea what I'm talking about?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsommer Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 It does have WOW factor though and if the car could be had for $15K it's not too bad considering by the time my car hits the street with the 350 I'll be in for close to $10K doing all the work myself David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Dreamer Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Well I just got through looking at the Ebay post and it seems to say "Forged Keith Black blower pistons". These would not be Hyper pistons! Nice ride, I wish money was no object. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Well whoever buys it, I am gonna email them and introduce them to this forum. so we can pick at that car!!! I am so anxious.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1fastz Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 keith black doesnt make forged pistons heh.. they are hyperutectic only.. and hes runing a roots blower not a turbo with a large intercooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Dreamer Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 "Au contraire" Grasshopper KB does make FORGED PISTONS, you can see them in the Jegs catalog as Hypo 18 forged pistons or go here: www.kb-silvolite.com Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fl327 Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 no matter what the guy really runs, its a really fun looking car that probably has a whole lot of power and the potential for some crazy numbers once its done, i think id rather have superdans more though, he gots the injected six speed gnose but im not mad at a blower, never been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
