Holy Moly!!! That's one fast Z. I had always heard it was hard to make those quick in the 1/4 because of the rear suspension. I wonder if he's running an auto or stick. There are a few really quick early ninteys jap cars. RX7, Supra, 300ZX TT and 3000 GT VR-4. They're all really cheap now except for the Supra. I'd love to have an old RX7 to play around with.

notice the faster run had the slower 60 ft? Obviously this guy had some rediculous tires on that car pulling a 1.6 60 ft with rwd.

the 3000gt vr4's still arent that cheap.. compared to their MSRP of 40k, yes but I believe the 98 vr4 still goes for around 15-20k

my 94 base model was still 8k

Modded to shit is right...prolly dumped like 20G's at least to get it to run that fast. Also to that list of early nineties cars...add the stealth RT turbo!!!

Nice! I've always loved them Z's! Not surprising though! It's not the age of the car that matters, just how you maintain them! Any car can be fast and last forever when you put all you got into it!...it ain't cheap though!

I'm sure there are OLDER cars out there, like the 87-88' RX7 Turbo II's that run 10's or 11's as well!
