Look at all that frigging room! 2JZ is a heavy beast. I think I’d rather have an aluminum V8.

Can I star this more than once?

I got to see this car at the Northeast Exotic Car Show a few years ago and was stunned by how fantastic it looked. Speaking with the people who were exhibiting it, the power output was as bonkers as you’d expect, but he explained how it idled at 4,000 RPM and had a redline in the mid 6’s. I can’t imagine just how nuts…

I know only a little about IMSA 240-280Zs, mostly from the time when I was periodically visiting the Speedhunters, to see if there would be an article about racing cars, instead of mods. Like this one:

It definitely is, but for me, the Z32 just has that extra something.

When you say Nissan Z and IMSA, there is only one thing that I can think of:

Amen. The wife and I saw this plane at a show in VA last year and they were really wringing it out, no babying of the craft at all. The SHRIEK that Mustang makes on a full speed dive is incredible, like nothing I've ever heard in my life.
I have heard stories from elder relatives who fought in WW2 about Mustangs, but…

Well, here's your problem, McLaren Honda.

I find motorcycle track days do wonders for throttle smoothness and other input smoothness. Not all the skills translate but it is helpful.

Skill - or just growing up in the sport and learning?

Grew up watching CanAm at Riverside Raceway.... In my mind, the single most bonkers prototype class ever. Loose rules, talented and insane drivers, huge horsepower, (relatively) low grip. Glorious. I always wondered what these cars could do with modern rubber; I guess now we know? Now, if only someone would put modern…

What a car. Who made those front wheels? Cromodora?

Are you my daddy?

It is 2015, whether people like that or not, or love the material or hate it, this was a really stupid move.
