Does anyone recognize this Z?

This Z came in as a parts car and it has some nice modifications on it and we were wondering if anyone recognizes the car to know what else may have been modified on this car aside form the obvious engine cosmetics and turbo kit.

We hope not, it is possible but the interior cabin looks ok, it is possible the glass from the deck lid caused injury.

Just looking at the motor, and fuel upgrades we suspect work may have been done to the block but would like to find out more info on this build if anyone knows about it.

Pretty sure that is a stretch - car is not nearly that torn up from the looks of the outside. I've seen much worse and folks walked without a scratch.

Must be a photoshop. Volk wheels look bent. Volk fans know that Volk wheels are indestructible. I suspect some trickery here.

haha 2 of them made it, and we have 2 of the same style in black that made it off another wreck. I am trying to talk Jim into doing a 50/50 car silver wheels black paint one side, and black wheels red or silver paint on the other.

VIC is used by some LEO to mean Victim. I highly doubt that's the case here.

Yes it is, and I have seen quite a few worse off than this one (I will spare you a picture of the salvage lot).

No one knows this build? I am sure this car would have been on a forum/magazine/car show at some point. It seems like way too much work not to show off.
