Fastest and or Quickest

[Guest zfan]

My 240Z runs 10.80's on the motor with a built 700r4 transmission. I can drive it to and from the track with the overdrive it's a breeze. I have broke in the past, mainly half shafts and rear end twice.

 

That said since I upgraded my axles to the cv swap I have not snapped anything lately but am probably due. Of course I am not as fast as the big dogs.

If the car is red, I'm sure you're right...haven't seen any other wheelstanding 9 second 240z's in this neck of the woods...

Yup, its theirs. I've talked with them about it before. I have some pics and movies i got off their site before it went down. Is there a way i can post them?

I have a 240Z with a ZZ3 crate engine in it, with some go fast items added, and I have not broken anything yet. My guess is that it would be a high 12 second, or low 13 second car, if I ran it at the drags, so because it has an automatic, small block chevy, and modest horsepower plus the car weighs 3000 lbs. (roll cage and sub frame) is the reason it has not broken parts.

I could do a test this year. I have extra 240Z differentials and could use a 428 Ford engine C6 trans on a open chassis and see if it granades the half shafts and or differential with drag slicks. Small block Chevy's, even most high output small blocks do not have the torque the big block Ford has. If they live, it would make me a believer. I would at least find the weak areas. I have a extra 240Z body, and if i could find a chassis builder that could cut off the original Z front end and weld on a Mustang II front suspension, then the 428 might fit. If the differential and half shafts live in the test, maybe I will try to make it fit the spare 240Z. Most likely I will have a bunch of broken Z parts.
