Default Raced a 300ZX

Very unexpected. Caught it at a light he mentioned he liked my wheels, his car also has the same FR500's on it. Not a crazy looking car, FR500's polished mufflers and a big intercooler. We both came off the light soft and he was back around my rear bumper when I heard the turbo so I stood on it got a good solid downshift and was off, turbo lit and he blew my doors off while blowing his tires off. Caught up at the next light. Its and E85 car, with the winter blend that is in the pumps now its turned down to around mid 600s at the tire but normally on high boost he said it will put a touch over 900 at the tires. Sleeper for sure never expected that, the bottle would have been no use that car moves. I'd hate to see it when its actually hooking.

Honorable Death lol. No shame at all, carry your head high for at least you tried.

If that thing would have hooked, you know something would have broke.

Yea, I'd seen this car around the last couple years and always wondered. The bottle wouldn't make any difference that things a monster.

Sleeper for sure. Fun times even in a loss. Been there. It's fun to watch guys like that run.

And don't believe everything a owner tells you. 900 HP will tear up things real fast,motor mounts,the engine itself,tranny, rear axles,suspension needs revised heavily, brake system custom, etc etc etc. Unless that guy had over $25,000 in that car, he was lying to you. If you were dual turbo, that would be an interesting race

doesn't that 300 have a 2j in it? I know I've seen a silver one around claiming 900 some but it didn't have a stock style engine in it.
