gmac708 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Looks like you'll have your hands full Rob. What a beast! What's the fastest you have done the 1/4 in and what do you think the dragster will turn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 funny thing is it's not as fast as his Z was ... YET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPSNZ Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 funny thing is it's not as fast as his Z was ... YET Lol, I've done 3 licensing 1/2 passes (2 of which equaled track record for class) and then just 2 attempts at a full pass, both aborted at around 1/2 track, netting 8.8 and 8.4 at stupidly low mph. (NZ record for class was 9.02 ) To give you an idea of the potential, with just 17psi boost, petrol, no NOS, a slippery track (as you can hear) no seat time from me, just 2 crap runs to its name and really no idea what to do or expect, we have done a 1.1 60ft and 5.1 to 1/2 track at just 124mph (backed off way before 1/2 track) The best EVER for the 240z with 35psi boost and alot of seat time was 1.25 60ft and 5.1 @ 145mph to 1/2 track. Its going to be good if I can man up enough to drive it with full power. The ultimate goal is a 6 / 200mph still with the same 2 year old 240z engine with a stock block, stock crank, wet sump, petrol etc. We didn't even change the oil or spark plugs when the motor came out of the 240z, just a clean and repaint of the covers etc. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wax Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Yeah thats kinda wild Looks like a handfull, will be follwing this thing to see how it goes, easy to tell your right down on power there compared to the 240z( at the moment) Why a front engine dragster ??
